You want not only to tell if the player is currently on or off, but also when the state changes. I'd suggest you look at modifying the Power Switch plugins to do what you want. You could try tweaking my PowerCenter plugin, but it's gotten rather bloated and I've not yet found the time to rework the APIs for dealing with different systems, or do some other code cleanup. Currently the code is very hackish, especially the later versions that include 'heyu' support on Linux. If you *only* want to control power to your amp, I imagine you would be happier starting with Power Switch. Oh, and you might want to measure the power draw of your amp. Many are quite efficient, drawing less than 1-2 watts when nothing is playing. It might not be worth the trouble.
But if you want to control multiple devices, some independent of the Squeezebox power status, you might want to look at PowerCenter (nee BottleRocket). -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver FuzzyTime 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=49729 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
