I finally decided to go with Michael's educational approach rather than with the tech-approach. Anyway we shouldn't further discuss education in this forum ;) To reply to some of your suggestions: I'm using max2play but I don't want to start fiddling around with scripts within max2play (which I fear would be gone with the next update of max2play). The SSID approach would be nice and easy, unfortunately with my Google Wifi I can't setup a separate SSID. cramcram's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22906 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110538 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Pause specific Squeezebox at scheduled times?
The approach outlined in #5 works nicely.
Configuration:
/usr/local/etc/lmseventtrigger.json:
Code:
{
"enabled": false,
"numStatusResults":1,
"events": [
{"cmd":"/usr/local/bin/lms-autostop.sh","event":[["playlist"],["newsong"]]}
]
}
/usr/local/bin/lms-autostop.sh (adjust player name and id):
Code:
#/bin/bash
echo "$2"| grep -q '"player_name":"kids_squeezebox"' || exit
(echo "00%3A00%3A00%3A00%3A00%3A00 stop" | /bin/busybox nc localhost 9090) &
enable plugin (e.g. via cron at a specified time):
Code:
wget "http://lmsserver:9000/plugins/LMSeventTrigger/js.html?cmd=enable;
This will stop the player as soon as a track is started.

Some WiFi routers/access points also have the option to limit internet usage for certain devices based either on time of day or on total time online.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Pause specific Squeezebox at scheduled times?
The WiFi suggestion is 2 have two different WiFi networks serving the same LAN - with one reserved for the kids equipment. If you have a WiFi Access Point that has that ability - along with the possibility to have a time limit on it - then it has the extra feature that if the kids have tablets/computers on the same WiFi then they stop working as well. Lots of WAPs have support for Guest Network but might not have a time-of-day feature. Another way to achieve it would be to put in an additional WAP but put it in a sort of bridge mode so that DHCP serving still comes from the main one. Then even if it does not have a time-of-day function you could simply put it on a timer switch to power it off at night.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, this solution requires switching off the entire wireless network in order to silence one player? It might be possible to set up a virtual network, which is only accessed by the Squeezebox that needs to be silenced. But in that case, this is becoming nearly as complicated as my ramblings about creating a virtual player to load a url. In any case, it's certainly a valid approach, worth considering, and good to have it included in this thread. Again, thanks for explaining!

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Pause specific Squeezebox at scheduled times?
Allright perhaps I was a bit short in explanation. If the SB is connected via wifi then a solution would be to place wifi on a scheduled base. So wifi is only working from day 10 AM until 15.00 pm. A lot of sb's are connected via wifi and if one thing is critical in a good working SB environment than it is a good working network (cable or wifi). One brand that provides good wifi is ubiquiti and it has also that capability of making a schedule. So using ubiquiti would give you a solution for OP question and also provides good wifi and so avoid network related problems with lms. Assuming the cabled part of router and switch is also in good condition and proper configurated.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Pause specific Squeezebox at scheduled times?
In my earlier comments, I got swept up in enthusiasm for the "elegance" of doing everything within LMS. But doing it that way is kludgy, anything but elegant. A much more reasonable approach would be to use something like wget to call one of the urls I mentioned in message 6. If the OP has LMS running on Linux, it would be simple enough to set up a cron job to do that at the appropriate time. I assume similar options are available on Windows and Mac.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Pause specific Squeezebox at scheduled times?
There are a number of home automation systems that interface with LMS. I use HomeSeer and the Squeezebox plugin for it. You could easily create an event that detects a player that starts playing and then turn it off or pause it between a certain time period.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Pause specific Squeezebox at scheduled times?
I think Michael actively discourages the use of html "remote control" codes, and there is no guarantee that they will continue to work. However, for now, this seems to work for me: Code: http://localhost:9000/status.html?p0=stop=[MAC or IP of target player] That's using a "stop" command, which is what I used while testing. Pause should also work, although in that form it will simply toggle the player's current pause status. To insure that it pauses instead of unpausing, use this: Code: http://localhost:9000/status.html?p0=pause=1=[MAC or IP of target player] Or this to power the player off: Code: http://localhost:9000/status.html?p0=button=power_off=[MAC or IP of target player] You can test any of these commands using the Tune In URL field in LMS. If it does what you want, save it as a favorite and set an alarm to fire it at the appropriate time. If you have LMS listening on some port other than 9000, that will need to be adjusted, and if you test the command from a machine other than the one running LMS, you will need to use the actual LMS url instead of "localhost". As has been pointed out, nothing prevents someone from undoing what the command you choose has done, but that's an issue to be dealt with on an individual basis!
