Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SqueezeIR - A Generic Infra-Red Remote Control Applet for the Duet's SBC

2010-06-15 Thread bluegaspode

firmware updates erase all applets from the controller. 
So you'll have to do it again the next time.

I think in the latest applet menu there is an option to reinstall all
applets after a firmware update. 
This works only for applets installed via the applet installer though.

I've set the kidsplayvolume max. value to 50, but it has no effect on

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Possible to add 3rd pary Plugins to MySqueezebox.com?

2010-06-15 Thread majtchus

Hello all,
I am planning to get rid of my SBS since I (almost) only use Spotify as
a music source.

The problem is that I am using IRBlaster to control my Reciever through
my Ipod Touch (Ipeng).
Is there any possibility to get around this problem?
(other than using the regular remote control for the Reciever =)

Thanks in advance!

Regards

Majtchus

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2010-06-15 Thread Nautilus

Hi,

I've been using iPeng for a few weeks now and really enjoy the
functionalities it has been packed with...:) In this sense I already
prefer it over the SBC to control my SBR and radio. However, I have
noticed a couple of issues:

1. In general the application responds a lot slower to commands than
Duet's SBC. Quite often the playback commands (play, pause, volume)
take several seconds (5-10) to respond, also the same behavior can be
witnessed with the now playing screen, playlist, tuning of teh device
etc. Is there something I could do to speed it up (both SBC and iPod3G
connect to a Buffalo WLAN router to which the SBR is also connected,
with wire. SqueezeServer 7.5. is running on Qnap ts209 II NAS)?
Commands sent through SBC do not have a mentionable delay.

2. A few times iPeng has not been able to find the players (SBR,
Radio). In these cases I've had to shutdown the iPod to find the
players again. Two occasions when this has happened is when the iPod
was recharging over night and I tried to use iPeng in the morning. A
couple of other times it has happened with no apparent reason, though I
don't know if the recharging can be any kind of reason either (might be
that on one occasion I restarted SB Server and after that it did not
find the players until iPod shutdown and restared)

Has anyone else witnessed this kind of behaviour and is there something
I can do in my setup to make it a bit more realiable (although is not so
bad if you once a week need to restart the iPod...:) ) Can I do
something else than turning off the iPod in case it does not
automatically find players

I have not done any manual setups, the iPeng (as expected I guess)
found the palyer and started working out of the box when I downloaded
it. SB Server and SBR have static ip addresses in my LAN.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeIR Support Thread

2010-06-15 Thread Nautilus

Hi,

once again not the exact right forum to post this question, but since
people have been very helpful here and it vaguely fits the topic...:)

Are device-specific IR-codes usually following some type of sequence or
logic (other than the same header etc information)? Let's say that
instead of hex, the codes would be decimal, would they follow some kind
of logic like 100, 110, 120, 130 etc. (or even something as broad as
everything is between 1000-2000)? Or are they just random numbers?

The reason I'm asking is that the lirc file I'm currently using to
control my receiver is originally for a simpler device so it's missing
some commands. So I was wondering if it is possbile (well, certainly
possible but possible with reasonable effort) to try to find the
missing codes by trial and error, following the sequnce of the existing
command or something?

Hi, I'm sorry I'm not able to help you with your question but just out
of curiosity, what kind of setup do you have to be able to control your
receiver through iPeng? Namely, what component is sending the IR
commands to the receiver and how do you control that with iPeng?
Something attached to SB3 and a plugin in SB3 that send the IR when you
send a certain command? But how it is integrated to iPeng?

Thanks, I appreciate if you have the time to elaborate your setup, it
sounds very cool and is something I'd like to be achieve too..:)

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Synology 7.5 Package Upgrade Question

2010-06-15 Thread mjl

This is a question I have asked on the Synology forum and as yet have no
response. So, if there are any Synology users out there that can answer
this, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a DS209 and everything
works great (Duet and Radio). I am using the Synology supplied SBS
package. I am getting ready to upgrade to 7.5. Here is my question:

Can someone tell me the best way to upgrade the SBS to a new version
without losing settings, favorites, playlists, radio presets, etc? I
see there is an upgrade option in the Package Management section of
DSM; does that work in preserving the items I mentioned?

I am running 7.4 which was loaded 4 months ago when I got my DS209. SBS
has worked perfectly for me. I am considering an upgrade to support the
Touch so this would be my first upgrade.

Thanks

I am afraid my input is not going to be very helpful to you - I have
upgraded three times in the last few months, and each time I have
uninstalled the previous version and installed the new, losing all
settings (I upgraded as my orininal installation stopped working).  I
assume that using the upgrade option reatins settings, b ut cannot
confirm that.  However, when installing the new version:
- make sure you have the latest version of the DS manager firmware
- restart the NAS (and swithc it off at the mains and re start that
way)

Not much help, I'm afraid!

The strings.txt file is on the Controller.  You can change it but it

you want to change it then you'll need to log in to the Controller

Generally the header information is constant for all of the remote's
commands and is stored in the pre_data part of the lirc file.  The
commands themselves are generally sequential and are generally 8-bit
numbers so will be in the range 0x00-0xFF.  Many protocols also use a
checksum which is calculated from the command value and LIRC files
store this in the code section along with the command value itself so
the commands may not look sequential in the lirc file.  Another thing
that muddies the water is that lirc files often encode the commands
backwards masking the true value so that sequential command values may
appear random when expressed in a lirc file.

I don't understand. Where does this result in a problem? The only
problem may be that your original 32-bit value isn't correct to start
with. But if that's ok you can get at your bit values by right-shifting
and ANDing with 1. I do not see a problem wrt. 32-bit there. What am I

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread

2010-06-15 Thread pippin

1. Your Qnap is probably still rescaling artwork for iPeng. It needs to
do this because iPeng uses different thumbnail sizes than the
Controller. And iPeng does ask the server to create up to 450 of them
in a bulk when originally started.
Now not having a floating point processor the Qnap can be pretty
challenged with this task.
It will eventually go away if you don't do Clear and Rescan of the
database too often (this clears not only the cache in iPeng but also
the one on the server side).
You could also set (on the server side)
Settings-Advanced-Performance-Arwork resampling to resize
(faster, lower quality).
2. This usually happens whenever the WiFi is not up and running when
iPeng starts. It will find the players after a while but usually it
should be enough to just re-start iPeng.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spotify Premium Plugin (Beta)

2010-06-15 Thread Triode

I'd like to announce an early beta of a plugin I have been working on
for Spotify Premium subscribers to browse and play Spotify streams
through Squeezebox players.

Scope:
- for Spotify users with a Premium account
- plays back 320k or 160k streams
- requires a PC based server running Squeezebox server (linux or
windows only at present)
- will play back via Squeezebox 2 and later hardware players only
- only supports a single playback stream (one player) at once, i.e. no
synchronisation support

The plugin is early beta, so I expect some rough edges, but I am
posting to get feedback on interest level and to help further
development.  Note that the plugin is somewhat more complex than a
standard squeezebox server plugin so it will take longer to download
than normal plugins and there may be more issues which I have been
unable to test...

If you are a Spotify Premium subscriber, then to try it out:

1) Make sure you are running 7.5 or 7.5.1 Squeezebox server
2) Go to the Settings/Plugin page and add the following to the
additional repositories box at the bottom of the page, press apply:
http://triodeplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/testrepo.xml
3) Assuming you are running your server on windows or linux, you should
then get an additional repository in the list which includes Spotify as
an installable plugin
4) Select and click to install, note that it may take longer than
normal to fetch the plugin as it is bigger than a normal plugin so the
page make take longer to respond
5) Restart the server
6) Go to the Plugin, Settings page for Spotify either via the
advanced menu or from the plugin page
7) Read and agree the Spotify restrictions, then add your username and
password to the settings page.
8) If you refresh the settings page a couple of times you should see
that a helper appl is running an it is logged into Spotify.  If not
there may be an error to help...
9) Go to the radio menu on one of your hardware players and you
should be able to browse and play tracks from Spotify

Linux:
The binary files included in the plugin include the Spotify library
libspotify and a closed source application built around this.  This is
32bit only so on 64 bit linux you probably need ia32-libs installed and
probably libFLAC and libogg as well.

Windows:
The binary is 32bit and should work on 64bit as well.  I have not tried
it on all versions of windows, so there may be some issues so please
report.

Please provide feedback and let me know if this plugin is interesting
to people...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SqueezeControl for Android announcement and support thread

2010-06-15 Thread xiffy

I finally got my Milestone (Droid) and have been playing with it for a
day.  I have not tried SqueezeCommander yet, but i have played with
squeezedroid and SqueezeControl which both give you at least a feel of
how a touch remote could work. The feature however which i was most
interested in was a player for the squeezebox. Being able to use my
phone as a player and with a wireless headset listen to my music and
controlling it with the phone, lying beside me would me awesome. 
My question is will the client be a native squeeze-player or will it
listen to stream.mp3? The last works, but the experience does not give
credit to what a real squeeze-box/player/server experience would give.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Possible to add 3rd pary Plugins to MySqueezebox.com?

 Hi, I'm sorry I'm not able to help you with your question but just out
 of curiosity, what kind of setup do you have to be able to control your
 receiver through iPeng? Namely, what component is sending the IR
 commands to the receiver and how do you control that with iPeng?
 Something attached to SB3 and a plugin in SB3 that send the IR when you
 send a certain command? But how it is integrated to iPeng?
 
 Thanks, I appreciate if you have the time to elaborate your setup, it
 sounds very cool and is something I'd like to be achieve too..:)

No Worries!
Maybe I exaggerated a little bit before. 

The only thing I can control with my Ipod Touch/Ipeng/Squeezebox are
the Master Volume and the Power Switches (which are more just enough
for me =).

The IR commands are sent through the Squeezebox to the Receiver (and to
an external IR controlled Power Switch for the DAC) through an (three
headed)IR eye connected to the Squeezebox 3.5mm headphone connection to
the two IR receivers (the receiver and the power switch).

This is then controlled by Squeezecenter with the 3rd party application
IRBlaster. When I turn on the Squeezebox, IRBlaster sends the Power on
command to the IR receivers. It works similarly for Volume up/down and
Power off.
It doesent matter if I, for instance, change the volume through Ipeng
or through the Squeezecenter directly.

My setup is as follows:
Hardware:
Squeezebox Classic (Wifi to router)
Nad S300 (Reciever)
Cambridge Dacmagic (Digital-Analog-Converter)
BW 602 (Speakers)
IR-eye ( http://www.ljudmakarn.se/view.asp?art_id=1018menu=1 )
IR-controlled power switch for the DAC (
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12902 )
Ipod Touch (Remote control)
Laptop - Server (wire to router)
Laptop - Client (Wifi to router) 
Router - D-Link 

Software:
Squeezecenter (latest?)
IRBlaster (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/IRBlaster)
WaveInput - Planning to change to DSBridge for Spotify

Hope that it was possible to understand, otherwise just ask again!

 1. Your Qnap is probably still rescaling artwork for iPeng. It needs to
 do this because iPeng uses different thumbnail sizes than the
 Controller. And iPeng does ask the server to create up to 450 of them
 in a bulk when originally started.
 Now not having a floating point processor the Qnap can be pretty
 challenged with this task.
 It will eventually go away if you don't do Clear and Rescan of the
 database too often (this clears not only the cache in iPeng but also
 the one on the server side).
 You could also set (on the server side)
 Settings-Advanced-Performance-Arwork resampling to resize
 (faster, lower quality).


Thanks for the tip - I did not know that the artwork rescaling process
would have such an effect on all these commands sent through iPeng.
Better not do the clear and rescan too often then...

Yeah, I also thought that if I restart the application a couple of
times it would eventually find the players. However, on the mentioned
occasion even several restarting did not help, only after turning off
the whole device it found then again. We'll, it hasn't happened too
often luckily

That is funny, because I am also using a german weather code with a

Triode;555020 Wrote: 
 
 Please provide feedback and let me know if this plugin is interesting
 to people...
 
Well, it's the biggest enhancement to my Squeezebox experience for a
very long time, so it's definitely VERY interesting to me. It's worth
every dollar I had to spent on the Spotify Premium account to make it
work. This is one of those plugins that's totally going to change how I
find new music and listen to it. Really great work with this, thanks for
all your efforts.

Just for convenience, I'll mention the issues you have already got via
mail earlier which haven't been solved yet, just to avoid duplicate
reports from other users and make it possible for other beta testers to
comment on them. There isn't anything in this list which you haven't
already seen.

THE WEB INTERFACE:

2.
It would be nice to get album art in search results, at least in album
lists, is that possible ? It works on SqueezePlay but not in web
interface.

3.
It would be nice with a Play button beside albums in search result,
should the the same as the All songs item in the sub menu, possibly
an add button might be nice too.

4.
Would it be possible to add functionality so you can build a Spotify
playlist and save it to spotify ?

5.
If possible, I would prefer that search results was rendered the same
way as in standard library. So album lists shows the album and artist
as separate clickable links and track lists shows the track, album and
artist as separate clickable links. This would make it really easy to
switch between the different search types, for example start by
searching for a known track and then click on the artist list of one of
the matches to list all albums for that artist.

6.
It would be nice with a Play button beside a playlist in search
result, should the the same as the All songs item in the sub menu,
possibly an add button might be nice too.

7.
Similar to point 5 it would also be nice if I could see artist and
album information in current playlist for each track, currently it only
displays the track title and album cover.

8.
After adding a track as a favorite it looks a bit strange in when
expanding Favorites menu in default skin, it looks ok in classic
skin. I suspect it might have to do with a missing icon or something
similar. The Spotify entry in the screenshot is the DSBridge
connection, it's the Love Doesn't Ask Why entry that's the one
connected to your plugin. Here is the screenshot:
http://erland.isaksson.info/arkiv/slimserver/SpotifyFavorite.png


SQUEEZEPLAY INTERFACE:
===
10.
Would it be possible to add a Similar artists on Spotify item in the
context menu on all artists (local and spotify) that listed the
Similar Artists from spotify ? That way it would more user friendly
to find similar music as the one you already have in the local library
without having to revert to searching that needs you to enter text.
Enter text works good on touch interface but not so good on Radio,
Boom, Controller and Touch IR-remote interface.

11.
Would it be possible to add a Albums on Spotify item in the context
menu on all artists (local and spotify) that listed albums for the
specified artist from spotify ? That way it would more user friendly to
find new music from artists you already have in the local library
without having to revert to searching that needs you to enter text.

12.
Is it possible to control the rendering of album lists ? It would be
nice if albums where shown on multiple lines in same way as My
Music/Albums menu lists albums

13.
Is it possible to control the rendering of track lists ? It would be
nice if tracks where shown on multiple lines in same way as current
playlist lists tracks

14.
To make searching a bit better, it would be nice if it remembered the
last 20 search texts I've used so I could reuse them without having to
enter all the letters manually again.

15.
In addition to point 14, maybe it could even remember which Spotify
artists/albums you have listen to before and the ones in your Spotify
playlsits and make it possible to browse among those by Albums or by
Artists/Albums ?


OTHER THINGS:

16.
It doesn't work with synchronized players or multiple players by
design, so if any user have problem with that, it's a limitation of the
Spotify API as I've understood it. It might be a good idea to give a
better error/warning message if someone tries to use multiple players.


IPENG INTERFACE
==
19.
In iPeng the Spotify icon in the Radio menu isn't shown, it just
shows the default radio icon.

20.
In the What's new menu I have some problem in iPeng if it's only a
single track. It works for multiple tracks but for entries that only
have a single track I just get the heading and not the clickable track
itself. The heading contains the track title but I cannot click on the
heading to play it. After some time I realized I can hit Play Shuffle
at the top to play the track.

21.
Album lists doesn't show the album cover in iPeng. It works

Well, I can only talk about SqueezeCommander:

I'm working on an integrated player for Squeeze Commander.

The short term solution will probably be an enhanced stream.mp3, i.e.
the player will connect to the stream.mp3, but I will try to avoid some
problems of the stream.mp3 like high latency. The major disadvantage
will still be the need for a quite powerful CPU on the server side,
i.e. a NAS without FPU will probably not work.

The long term solution is to implement a real Squeeze player. But
I'll wait until Pippin finished his work for iPeng and afterwards I'll
adopt his solution. ;-)

Well, that's probably not what you'd like to hear, but AFAIK it's
impossible to use IRBlaster (or any plugin) through MySB.

So you basically have the choice between SBS (with IRBlaster) and MySB
(without being able to control your receiver).

If you want to use MySB only, you'll probably need to use your
receiver's remote for on/off and the digital volume control on the
SqueezeBox (i.e. disable fixed volume).

The max  min only apply to the kidsplayvolume CLI command. For
instance if you set Preset #1 to decrease the volume with
kidsplayvolume -5 and Preset #2 to increase the volume with
kidsplayvolume +5, then pressing either of those buttons would never
result in a volume outside the KidsPlay min/max range (increasing if
needed to reach the min and decreasing if needed to stay under the
max). 

The KidsPlay min  max don't apply to changes made with Radio's volume
knob. If you want to set a maximum volume that applies to the knob, you
can mostly do that with VolumeLock. VolumeLock doesn't completely
prevent Radio being turned too loud with the knobs on Radio or an IR
remote pointed at Radio, but if someone turns the volume above the
VolumeLock max, VolumeLock will pretty quickly turn the volume back
down to your max setting.

Oh, and thanks a lot indifference_engine for the hard work on the

Maybe you could add the really short version too: 1. install IR
