So if I connected to SN services through SS, all my SS plugins would see the normal button & IR commands, etc.? This sounds very good! The "currently playing" info would then look, what, like Internet Radio but with a "squeezenetwork:" URL or something? Might my SaverSwitcher plugin even be able to use its current Slim::Music::Info::getCurrentTitle(undef, Slim::Player::Playlist::url( $client, Slim::Player::Source::streamingSongIndex($client))) to get something like the name of the current song from Rhapsody/Pandora/etc.? That would be *excellent*! Andy Grundman;185999 Wrote: > > We do still plan to have a public API for controlling SN players > though. Controlling a player that's connected to SN, like Slimserver could start up & regain control of a SB that's currently controlled by SN? I'd be concerned about the security/authorization design for such an API. SB serial numbers and MACs don't seem very hard to guess, so the SS request to regain control of an SB would need some other token to convince SN that it is the rightful master of the SB. If my SB3 is happily connectd to SN, I don't want some confused or malicious SS instance somewhere else telling SN to let it control my SB3. Perhaps when a SB connects through SS to SN, SN could give the SS instance a strongly random token associated with that SB, and the SS instance could use that token as authorization to control the SB when the SB is acting as a SN player. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32930 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
