Cliff, you should be able to do that with my KidsPlay plugin. You'll need to work out the CLI commands needed (something like "power 1; stop; playlist clear; mixer volume 30; playlist play PlayListNameGoesHere; sleep 5400;"), but this should be simple. Set KidsPlay for the Boom to "KidsPlay routine or normal action" for the Boom, set up a KidsPlay routine for whichever button you want to dedicate, and you're done; a simple tap of that button will start your chosen playlist and sleep timer. If you want, you can add other CLI commands to do things like set the shuffle setting if you want the playlist not to always go in the same order. MikeekiM, I don't know how old your kids are, but two tips: one , check out my SleepFade plugin, which lets you have the Squeezebox volume decrease more gradually (normal behavior is full volume up to T minus one minute). I haven't tested rigorously, but I suspect that a more gradual fade is more likely to help keep my toddler asleep. Two, Rain Outside is very close to plain old "pink noise". Before a recent trip, I grabbed a pink noise MP3 off the net so that I could use it w/ my netbook if needed. I've started using that instead of Rain Outside so I'm not dependent on SqueezeNetwork. -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52836 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
