[SlimDevices: Plugins] Audioscrobbler Tag Submitting?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: IRBlaster = WireBlaster?
Mark, thank you for the hint! It basically works with my 8500, too. But I noticed a few times that the receiver didn't power down when the SB switches off. But sending the commands from the IR blaster settings page works fine. Maybe it has something to do with the weather plug-in that is activated when going to standby. And I wonder if the IR blaster can be tweaked, so that a short press switches only the SB on and off, and a long press also switches the receiver.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Last FM caching of submissions
Annoyingly my internet has been out of action for 1 week and is due to be repaired tomorrow (fingers crossed). Are LastFm submissions cached until a connection is obtained or have I lost the last weeks submissions? I have realised just how dependent I am on the internet now to the point where I was way more bothered about the loss of internet than the loss of phone (and annoyingly due to legislation the phone was restored within 6 hours) Thanks to James for developing this plugin it is amazing, if you haven't used LastFM then you must as it is brilliant.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: Custom Scan plugin
I briefly used the Custom Artist Tag template to browse my music tagged as SINGLE (to differentiate them from albums) 1.9 worked almost as I would like, but on 1.10 it seems to have stopped working at altogether. On 1.9 it detects the tags and lists the relevant tracks by artists, then by the custom tag but then it tries to list albums but there aren't any so they all show as no album before finally showing the tracks. Is it possible to skip the album part when browsing? Also when pressing the add button (on the player not the web interface) it adds all the tracks not just the selected one even though I have the play only selected song setting enabled. Does this setting not affect Custom Browse? On 1.10 it list all the matching artist but then says No matching songs, albums or artists were found!

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Alien BBC Plugin stops communicating
I have had Slimserver 6.51, Alien BBC 106, plus a SB3 and SoftSqueeze working fine for 6 months. Suddenly the Alien BBC plugin seems to have stopped talking to the slimserver/peripherals. I have deleted the plugin and reloaded (stopping and starting the server) and re-installed the plugin with the server off. When the Mplayer tries to test the link it work faultlessly - and I can run the test many times and it works fine. I can connect via softsqueeze or sb3 to the squeezenetwork and play bbc 7 etc etc with no issues. It seems that the Alien BBC and slimserver have somehow become disconnected . When I select alien BBC it tries to connect, and the display shows exactly as it should expect there is no sound and the display stays static (I have the level meter displayed) Can anyone help me out - have I missed a file to delete - I really dont want to uninstall the whole system as it seems to be OK apart from the Alien BBC plugin - which worked until a few days ago . -- rodlogic rodlogic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30139 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Audioscrobbler Tag Submitting?
Tags have never worked for me. I've always run 6.5.1 with the lasted Audioscrobbler plugin. Though in the past few days I'm questioning the usefulness of scrobbling at all. The Last.FM site is really bad. Really really bad. It has more bugs than Slimserver beta nightly releases and user data is continuously getting lost or calculated wrong. Their developers also don't care about cleaning their databases nor does the site's focus/goals center around giving its users much control or configuration. Lastly, don't get me started on their ghastly layout and UI which is a nightmare to navigate. Originally I had started scrobbling to be able to dump from last.FM to my web site a list of recent plays. They only have a really weak method of doing this which lists only tracks and as an image. They have no concept of ALBUM from which tracks come, so I'm better off trying to get a plugin for Slimserver to do this. The other use was to find new artists I might like based on my listening habits. However their algorithms for finding similar are so basic I was amazed at some of the stuff they group together. Plus when the site completely wipes your neighbor lists, it makes it hard to follow even manually what others are listening to. Every problem I've ever seen so far with submitting info to Last.FM has been the fault of Last.FM. The Slim plugin does everything it should (at least for track submission) but Last.FM's POST scrobbler server is often down or otherwise refuses the data. Then you'll get a mass submission later in the day. -- MelonMonkey Bruno *'Twisted Melon - Fine Mac OS Software' (http://twistedmelon.com) | 'mira - Personal Control for your Apple Remote' (http://twistedmelon.com)* MelonMonkey's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8466 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30127 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Attention Plugin Developers: API Changing / Discussion
All - as part of the 7.0 goals, we want to change how SlimServer handles Plugins, focusing on installation, loading, packaging Settings. A high level overview exists on the wiki: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?SlimServer7Spec I'd like to get a discussion going so we can start writing some code and get this train moving. For some background, see http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4112 Goals: * Improve the user experience of installing configuring plugins. * Versioning plugins to ensure SlimServer stability. Strategies: * Packaging of plugins: - The model that Mozilla/Firefox has is the right one. Plugins come as a single (zip) file, with some metadata which would allow SlimServer to determine plugin compatility from not only a min max version number, but also a target platform if the plugin needs any binary components. - The actual plugin library code would be contained within a PAR file (http://par.perl.org/) inside the first zip file, referenced by the metadata file. This allows the bundling of extra libraries, both pure perl compiled in nature. - As with the current structure, content such as HTML images would be contained in the top level zip file. * Installation of plugins: - Plugin packages will be installed via the WebUI, and will have the following states: - Needing Installation (requires SlimServer restart) - Installed Enabled - Installed Disabled - Needing Uninstallation (requires SlimServer restart) * Plugin Initialization: Currently Slim::Utils::PluginManager calls Plugin::YourPlugin::init(), and then looks for some well named functions to add things like web pages, settings, screensavers. That functionality is backwards. The plugin should actively register any components that it has during the initialization. * Plugin Settings / Options: As part of the 7.0 work, the Server Player Settings pages are being overhauled. Previous to this, there was a giant (unmaintainable) hash table in Slim::Web::Setup awkward page building system. 7.0 is getting rid of all of that, and moving to a cleaner, HTML + controller driven model. This allows flexibility for the designs of settings pages, finer grained field validation and a nicer user experience. This will require changes to your plugins however, and will likely be the hardest part of all this work. Each plugin will have it's own settings page (drop down), which will remove the clutter from the Plugins page. The validation areas are still being worked out. * Logging: Already in the 7.0 codebase is Log::Log4perl, which is a fantastic, fine grained logging system. The shipped SlimServer plugins show how one can use it, this code will likely stay as-is. Please migrate from the old msg()/errorMsg() code. * SlimServer shipped plugins: We'll be moving the plugins that we ship, such as the iTunes importer, RSS reader, etc into the Slim/Plugins/ directory. * What this change probably isn't. Because of the flexible nature of perl, and the creativity of our community we've never had a strict API in the you can only access these methods sort of way. There has been some talk of defining a real Public API that plugins can use. Unfortunately I think that is beyond that scope of what I originally had in mind. However, if we can come up with places in the SlimServer code where well documented hooks can be called, I'm all for that. I'd love to see plugins register themselves with SlimServer saying Please run me when you call hook player.mainMenuList. Which bleeds into changes I'd like to see such as bug: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3997 Once we have things like that, providing hooks become much easier, either through subclassing or different method resolution mechanisms like C3 - http://search.cpan.org/dist/Class-C3/ At the same time that I want to limit what plugins can do in order to maintain stability of the server, I don't want to stifle creativity. So I'd love to talk about finding some middle ground. * Backwards compatibility: As a result of the packaging changes, and to some degree the Settings changes, backwards compatibility with existing plugins as they are today will not be maintained. At a minimum, the plugin will need to be packaged with metadata and some initialization changes will need to be made. Additionally, if your plugin makes use of web Settings, it will need to be updated. - I'll be cross posting this in the Plugins Developer forums, but would really like to see the discussion happen in Developers.

Unfortunately after hitting play the time count never got past (0:00) and the VU meters stayed flat. I tried different channels and always got the same result. Per the Known Issues, before I tried the plugin I unchecked the box for the line that covered Windows Media (built-in) and restarted the server. I did not change any of the other three Windows Media line items. Here are my Windows Media file type settings: [X] Windows Media, FLAC [ ] Windows Media, MP3 [X] Windows Media, WAV [ ] Windows Media, Windows Media (build in) Was my setup correct? Did I miss any steps? Any suggestions for what to try next? Thanks! Jeff BTW, what are the semantics of the file type table? Is there any documentation on it? How do the 4 lines apply to different Windows Media formats? E.g. my music library is ripped to WMA Lossless. If I read the various threads correctly the server will transcode WMA lossless to FLAC before sending it to the SB3. So I assume the first line applies somehow to that scenario. But what about WMA9 lossy? Does it become WAV? Or is it sent natively? I assume that latter based on the high level marketing materials, but it's unclear to me how this policy is imposed and what role the table plays. Any insight into this would be appreciated. Sorry for the slow response, I was overseas and wasn't checking postings. Could you please enable -d_plugin debugging and post your debugging output so I can see what's going on? Also, what kind of system are you running on (Winblows, Linux, MAC, etc)? Regarding your question of how the file type stuff works, I'd recommend posting a separate post with that question and you'll probably get some good responses. How the whole process works is grey to me as I've seen some pretty random behavior based on some of the debugging posts people have sent regarding the Sirius plugin... -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29989 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Thanks Waldy. I've just downloaded - looking forward to tomorrow night to try it out... Not to sound ungrateful, but have you considered making your code available for the SuperDateTime plugin? It's a great engine, and it's nice to have the sports scores alternate with the time and weather info.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Slimscrobbler crashing Slimserver

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: IRBlaster = WireBlaster?
Buz;158267 Wrote: thank you for the hint! It basically works with my 8500, too. But I noticed a few times that the receiver didn't power down when the SB switches off. But sending the commands from the IR blaster settings page works fine. Maybe it has something to do with the weather plug-in that is activated when going to standby. Hmm, worked perfectly for me. (Too perfectly, there are times I don't want the receiver to power down when I switch off the Transporter, so I disabled that part!) But I don't use the Weather plugin. The only issue I had was timing of the three commands: power on, switch to Transporter input, V-Mute on. If they're all done with the default 0.25 second delay, the V-Mute usually gets missed. I just put in some additional delay, works fine. And I wonder if the IR blaster can be tweaked, so that a short press switches only the SB on and off, and a long press also switches the receiver. That'd be cool - as I indicated, there are times when I turn off the TP I don't want to turn off the receiver. -- Mark Lanctot Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26326 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

I guess you didn't notice the option to let MC2Slim to set up the zones for you heh not until I had already done it. I don't know about the stop/sleep command but I'll try to have a look and see if I can add it if possible.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: XMRadio v1.1.1 updated for SS 6.5
Hey atlslim, I have experienced this a couple of times myself, but have been unable to reproduce it. (I've only seen it twice and could not reproduce it even with your detailed steps.) I've updated the attachment in the original post which now includes improved error handling in the retrieve station play URL code. Hopefully, this will solve the problem. I've also updated the code that determines which client is logged into XM. This should prevent the already logged in through client... problem from occurring. This will at least provide a mechanism for resetting the hanging client from the web interface (saving you from having to bounce the server). Also, am I correct in assuming that this version of the plugin works in transcoding mode (since you're using it with an SB1)? It would be nice to know since I haven't been able to test this capability myself. Let me know if these patches help at all. -- Joe Bob Joe Bob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7361 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29867 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Attention Plugin Developers: API Changing / Discussion
Jut a quick note, as a user, that this means that 7.0 needs to come with a warning to users. That is, users should be told PROMINENTLY that their current plugins will *not* work with 7.0. Depending on how quickly developers produce new versions of their plugins, that might be a reason for some people not to upgrade. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30148 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
