Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
Got my xAP working as follows (bit protracted as I wanted to see what
LMS was doing):
-Stopped LMS on the NAS
-renamed my entire cache folder (incase i needed anything).
-removed stringcache binary.
-Restarted LMS
-Reinstalled xAP plug (to make sure i was defo uptodate and clean)
-Stopped LMS
-created a hardlink to Strings.txt called strings.txt (so I wont have to
rename in future).
-added a newline at bottom of strings.txt (looks like file came from
windoze) - caused server parsing issues for me..
-removed stringcache
-restarted LMS
The above fixed my settings screen.
Next, I looked at the xAP control problem quickly:
1. Put xAP into debug
2. crafted a new Audio.Transport message for play and shot it from xfx4
3. I did not see any status change messages?
4. Looked at my xAP settings and noticed that xAP hub was set to
external. Now I dont understand the authors comments and I have not yet
unpacked to .par file to see what he means, but my assumption that
external means it is relying on another xAP hub running on the server
(which its not), so I set to internal and restarted LMS (I understand
this will bind xAP plug directly to socket stopping other xAP apps on
that box working on srd port, but will look at this later.
5. re-shot my message...now I got some messages bouncing in-out, but no
player noise :(.
6. Sat back, thought and checked my player using remote. It was still in
its clean, switched on state (NO MUSIC selected) - i.e Now Playing -
Nothing. Doh.
7. Sent a playlist message to select an album - messages flying..
8. Sent message to turn off player - player off
9. sent message to turn on player - player on
10. sent message to play - Music
11. Sent same sequence to another player (SB3) - sound
12. Sent same message sequence to .:* -house comes alive with sound.
Will look at the hub/internal issue to see what it means to me.
In mean time, I'm gonna write an alarmApplet.lua script for my HAH
synced to our bedroom light fader.
Sweet
ps: you will get xAPBSC.Event from your LMS when you turn on/off devices
(among other things), but you 'control' these by issuing xAPBSC.Cmd
messages (as per the BSC specs).
The really good stuff is the Audio.Transport, Query and Playlist classes
(and 'Alarm' - but I gonna use my HAH scheduer instead).
pps: the : is the server, but I already had my 'base' changed to
another UID, and using : to pretend I was a 'server' - not that it
matters currently and I dont want any messages back.
BodgeIT - I see you are also a HAH user - its all new to me, but loving
the last two weekends tinkering :)

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
It looks like you have xAP plugin working on the ReadyNas.
I have a ReadyNas Pro (x86) with Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.1 -
r33735 installed.
I have just installed the latest xAP plugin via the 3rd party plugin
section.
I can see the string problem in setup, but am having another issue -
perhaps you can help?
btw: followed your instructs but the setup screen not changed.
I can see xAP messages from the server, .info, .playlist etc, but on

}
where UID is from my setup screen with : appended and base UID

Logs do not show anything unusual apart from the problem with the
strings from basic setup page.

Remaining=
Repeat=off
Shuffle=none
}
running 7.7.1 - r33750
and xAP plug v 2.4.3
i reinstalled the plug with no difference...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
Update for above: After upgrading to 7.6 I had to re-apply above changes but they didn't seem to take. In the end I renamed the stringscache file and restarted the server. Although a new stringscache file wasn't created automatically, this did fix the strings issue for the plugin.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
I just installed the plugin with no issues. I have been working with XAP for some time. I do have an issue though and will be approaching it in two ways. One via erspearson and the plugin and secondly with a RFQ to Squeezecenter. The problem is with the playing of encoded (5 and 7 channel music) The volume oof the player must remain at 100 (maximum) so the system does not try to blindly alter the volume of the encoded stream. The volume must be controlled by the preamp/amp being fed by the player. The XAP system reports the volume value as 100 every time I do something to change it. I would like a capability where the XAP plugin reports a change in volume up or down in addition to the volume level. The IR blaster plugin does this and allows me to signal the preamp (actually the PC that controls the Preamp) that the voume should be changed up/down. In fact the blaster plugin does not report the volume level only the direction of change. I use fixed increment of 5% on the preamp. Thanks In this way I can control the Preamp through the PC which already is running XAP and has been for several years. -- barrygordon barrygordon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52645 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Hi again,
I downloaded 2.2.1 and after I changed my test messages a little I can
now get my SqueezeCenter to respond! I actually don't know if it worked
in 2.2.0 or not, because it didn't work in 2.2.1 until I changed my
message. I had to make some parts of the message lower case. I thought
the content could be mixed case?
Target ersp.slimserver had to be lower case, but my server name could
be mixed/upper.
Class could be mixed.
Message Block keyword had to be lower case
Command had to be lower case.
This is my test message that works:

Fixed issue where BSC ID= parameter being parsed incorrectly in xAPBSC.Cmd messages. Added xAPBSC.Cmd state=toggle. Improved BSC Event/Info selection/timing. Send xAPBSC.Event when DisplayText changes. Send xAPBSC.Event on power up due to xAP-Audio.Transport command. Added alarm notifications to xAP-Audio.Schedule.Event messages. Added simple alarm control (enable/disable all) via xAP-Audio.Schedule. Removed last dependencies on legacy command execution (which is broken in 7.2.1 23353). Harmonised log4perl logger categories and added to documentation to user manual. The most recent officially supported SqueezeCenter release remains 7.2 though this plug-in release does address the significant incompatibility with 7.2.1 (nightly up to 23353) that broke handling incoming commands. Raised a bugzilla bug (9620) on that one since it may affect other plugins.

Is it possible that you have a programmatic loop of any form eg HomeSeer reacting to a xAP message and sending another ? Were the messages only originating from the SqueezeCentre xAP device or from any other devices as well ? This is easiest to see by selecting the top level hierarchy in Viewer. I'm thinking a Viewer capture of this burst would help Edward a little too - although I realise it saturates the xAP processing. Was SqueezeCentre continuing to work ok and player control possible ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
4000 msgs/sec - ouch! It should send about 1 per second for each player while playing and at the update interval when not playing. I've never seen it do that before and not heard of anybody else seeing it. But I believe you! I'll take a look at the code and see how such a thing could happen. I'm wondering if a message feedback loop could have been created somehow.

My log files don't seem to show any related errors, etc. /Hakan Sorry for the delayed reply, I was away for a few days. The two most likely causes are either that the messages you are sending to SqueezeCenter are not formatted correctly (suggest you post an example so we can rule that in or out) or that there is some problem with the plugin binding to the network that means it can send but not receive. Yes there are logging options (and I should add them to the documentation) using the same log4perl as the rest of SqueezeCenter. The switches to add to the command line are: plugins.xap - general information; a good place to start plugin.xap.comm - low level communications plugins.xap.settings - web interface user settings plugin.xap.message - details on xAP message processing Apologies for the plugin/plugins inconsistency; I'll add that to the to-do list. For the issue you describe plugins.xap and plugin.xap.comm are the two switches you should enable to check that the plug-in is receiving any xAP traffic.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
I've upgraded to 7.2.1 - 23223, the nightly release from 20/9 (had an issue with the standard 7.2). Duration appears correct now on both slimp3 when the player is on, when the player is off messages are back to the brief flash. I suspect it's something to do with the 'adjust brightness automatically' setting, but that has disappeared in 7.2... -- vworp vworp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8279 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52645 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
A problem with 7.2.1 squeezecenter nightly. The plugin doesn't translate BSC state commands to players, audio.transport commands aren't being acted upon either. So, no on/off/previous/next control from xAP. With the xapbsc.cmd state messages, although the players never change state, xapbsc.event messages are generated indicating they have. I suspect this problem is cause by my using a nightly release. I can always pick another one up in a few days. I'm testing xapbsc.cmd messages from OPN-MAX. James, Floorplans generated bsc messages don't appear to work at all for squeezecenter, something to do with id= being correctly set, OPN-MAX auto wildcards to id=*. Do you see this behaviour too? Edward, is the squeezecenter plugin case sensitive to xAP messages? The ID= key in xapbsc.cmd messages seems to work when wildcarded, id=*, but not when targeted to the correct sub address eg id=02. -- vworp vworp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8279 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52645 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
Hi, I have a couple of SLimp3's (firmware 2.3) connected to 7.2 and can confirm it does work correctly with these versions. I tested a few message.displays and durations between 2s and 60s worked fine. It actually works alot better than the old 6.0 version as I used to get a pause when a message went away and the screen would blank before returning to the slimp3 clock. With 7.2 it goes straight from the display message back to the clock, which is nice!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
That's good to hear James. And what I'd expect looking at the SqueezeCenter side of things; no reason why a SliMP3 should behave differently. Vworp, one thing you could try would be to check that the Auto Brightness setting for your SliMP3's is turned off as this can interfere with the display of xAP messages. -- erspearson erspearson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8425 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52645 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: xAP Plugin v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x
Thanks for the updated plugin Edward. I've got a few SliMP3s dotted around, along with a squeezebox and a duet, so a decent range to test against. I've noticed that message.display duration= isn't being honored by the slimp3s, but does work fine with the squeezebox. Display messages flash briefly on the slimp3s, but never for the allotted duration. Any way to access the SqueezeCenter Random Mix/playlists/favourites functionality through xAP-Audio.Playlist? I'll be having a play with IR.events over the weekend. I used them quite a bit with the previous versions of the plugin. -- vworp vworp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8279 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52645 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
