[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: Multi Library plugin
A new version 1.1 of the Multi Library plugin is now available, the new functionallity and changes are: - Automatically refresh Custom Browse menu when changing a library definition - Added a "menu group" parameter making it possible to put the library menus in a group, for example "Libraries/XXX Music" instead of "XXX Music" - Corrected bug in include/exclude player parameters that were lost if you edit a library menu in Custom Browse - Corrected so non ascii characters works in Directory parameters - Automatically assign a free filename when creating a new library - Added check to make sure filename doesn't contain any unsupported characters NOTE 1 You need at least Custom Browse 1.17, earlier versions won't work. NOTE 2 It has only been tested on slimserver 6.5.* and probably doesn't work on any previous slimserver version. The new version is available at my 'download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) as usual. The current wish/todo list for new features in comming Multi Library releases can be found here: http://erland.homeip.net/issuetracking/do/guest/home?application=slimserver-multilibrary If anyone have more feature requests or if I have missed some feature you already have requested which hasn't been implemented, please let me know.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: ir blaster question
Hi ddewey Thanks. :) Happy to hear it's useful. You are correct in that the 'test' buttons and pressing a button on the remote are sending the same codes. However there is a small difference: The 'test' button sends the code once whereas pressing a remote button might cause IR blaster to repeat the code, since the remote starts repeating itself, espeacially for volume up and down. So my question is if you are using the remote does the volume change at all? Meaning does it at least change one step? Could you post the learned codes? Sometimes it needs some manual tweaking to make it work properly. Cheers Felix -- fcm4711 Everyone said: This cannot be done. But one day someone came along who didn't know about this - and did it.

I can see that all these situations could be common requests. In my situation, I currently leave the original browse menus in place, and just use Custom Browse for extra browse methods. The menus inside "Custom Browse" apply to the whole music library, where as menus within a library will be the same as the custom browse menus, but will apply to a sub-set of the whole library. I was thinking of renaming "Custom Browse"->"All Music". So I would have: All Music -> Albums -> Artists -> Genres -> Dynamic Playlists -> Phil's Music -> Albums -> Artists -> Genres -> Dynamic Playlists -> Alex's Music -> Albums -> Artists -> Genres -> Dynamic Playlists -> etc. This could be achieved also by creating a dummy "All Music" library with no filtering, so it always contains all music. Maybe multiple library plugin should come with a built-in "All Music" library (pre-configured, not editable/deleteable, the default activated library). >I also have an idea that it should be an alternative to just have a >flat menu structure with Albums, Artists, Genres (and the rest) and >selecting which tracks that should be shown in them by activating a >specific library. > That's another nice way for it to work; although I would see this as a better fit for multi-user setup (where each user could be configured to see different allowed libraries/activated library). A Change User menu option could switch over to a different configuration, preferably picking up other settings, such as scrobbler user, etc. eg. Another issue I have is with TrackStat - me and my wife have separate iTunes libraries, so I can only configure one iTunes library into the settings. Like you say, libraries may be configured with different browse methods. With a flat menu structure, would the menu options change depending on the activated library? My wife may get confused, having to navigate to find a menu to select the library to activate, and then navigate to find music to play. At the moment, I get her to use the old Custom Browse->Libraries menu, or use Browse Music Folder, so she can find her music under "Alex's Music". Perhaps an option would be to have an option to hook into the Power-On event. It would ask you to select a library to activate. The default would be the last used library. Pressing play from stand-by would bypass the library selection and just resume playback. Better still would be for this to select a user. >You have understand correctly how it works today.

OK - the other part of the problem setup was that slimserver is installed to start up when OSX starts up. If your slimserver is also set to start when PSX starts - the following is what happens 1. OSX starts up and starts up networking 2. Slimserver starts and lookups up the DNS servers. Wireless sometimes takes a while to get set up so DNS has not been set up when Slimserver looks for DNS. 3. Wireless LAN setup completes and DNS works. 4. Slimserver runs but thinks DNS is not configured. Test to check if this is your problem: Stop and restart slimserver and retest AlienBBC Solution if above "fixes the problem": Put in a delay before startup of slimserver. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31762 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] ir blaster question
I have 2 setups using the awesome IR Blaster plugin. Bedroom setup works perfectly. Kitchen setup is exhibiting an odd behavior. There was no code for the remote on lirc.com, so I used the 'learning mode,' same as I did in the bedroom. The 'test' buttons in the learning interface work fine. Using the remote, the on/off button works fine to turn the receiver (a cheapish Yamaha) on and off. However, the volume up/down buttons on the Slim remote don't work, even though the 'test' buttons DO work perfectly. Seems to me both of these actions (pushing the 'test' button and pushing volume up on the remote) should send the same codes? Am I missing something?

That was a bit sparse of me, apologies. I had been getting the short burst of silence but streams continue. This was particularly noticable on BBC radio London Live via RealPlayer, but also Radio 4 live FM (via RP). I've got a SB3 wired. Hopefully the following won't lose everybody: mplayer -v = MPlayer 1.0rc1-4.1.2 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz (Family: 15, Model: 4, Stepping: 1) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. So you can see this is not an underpowered system (its a dev box) I had tried everything suggested in these forums re changing from flac to mp3 etc, testing the network connection and so on. Everything else works flawlessly. After shuffling the PCI cards to get them on different IRQs and tweaking the PCI latency timings on an AMD Athlon 64 box which serves MythTV I thought I might as well have a go on the Intel box running SS. However, it has onboard sound (intel) and onboard Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express so no physical shuffling there. I simply changed the PCI latency timing in bios to 128 from the default 32. This option isn't available on all motherboards but is easily set from the cmd line in Linux (I haven't a clue what is done in the Windows world). Anyway, the end result is dropout-free Radio London & Radio 4 which is cool. -- chuckiebear -- SlimServer Version: 6.5.1 Debian Testing chuckiebear's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5659 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31748 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Change the "Library name" parameter to something you like, lets call it "Good Music" 5. Change the "Directory 1" parameter to "D:\My Music\Good Music" 6. Click Next 7. Change the filename to something only containing ascii characters and no spaces, like: goodmusic.ml.values.xml 8. Click Save 9. You might need to click the "Refresh" button in the bottom of the Custom Browse web interface to get the menu to show up. After this you should have a new "Good Music" menu that only contains information about music files in "D:\My Music\Good Music" Example 2: - You like to create a sub library that only contain "Pop" music 1. Goto Multi Library in the web interface 2. Click "create new library" link 3. Select library type "Standard library" (which is the only one that currently exist) 4. Change the "Library name" parameter to something you like, lets call it "Pop Music" 5. Check the "Pop" checkbox for the "Include genres" parameter 6. Click Next 7. Change the filename to something only containing ascii characters and no spaces, like: popmusic.ml.values.xml 8. Click Save 9. You might need to click the "Refresh" button in the bottom of the Custom Browse web interface to get the menu to show up. After this you should have a new "Pop Music" menu that only contains information about music files that belongs to the "Pop" genre Example 3: - Your main slimserver library music files are in the directory: D:\My Music - You like to create a sub library in the Multi Library plugin that just contains the music in the directory: D:\My Music\Good Music. Besides this you like it to ignore music files that belongs to the "Christmas" genre. 1. Goto Multi Library in the web interface 2. Click "create new library" link 3. Select library type "Standard library" (which is the only one that currently exist) 4. Change the "Library name" parameter to something you like, lets call it "Good Non Christmas Music" 5. Change the "Directory 1" parameter to "D:\My Music\Good Music" 6. Check the "Christmas" checkbox for the "Exclude genres" parameter 7. Click Next 8. Change the filename to something only containing ascii characters and no spaces, like: goodnonchristmas.ml.values.xml 9. Click Save 10. You might need to click the "Refresh" button in the bottom of the Custom Browse web interface to get the menu to show up. After this you should have a new "Good Non Christmas Music" menu that only contains information about music files in "D:\My Music\Good Music" Did these samples solve your problem ?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Alarm Playlist and Repeat Mode
I'm sure a plugin could do this, but instead I've patched the Slimserver source to add in a modest extra bit of alarm functionality. With this patch applied, you get two extra alarm settings: Alarm Shuffle and Alarm Repeat. Setting these works much the same way as alarm volume; when the alarm occurs, the Squeezebox is set with these values. In laymans terms, this means that you can fiddle with your squeezebox however you like. When the alarm fires, the volume, shuffle and repeat settings will be changed to however they're configured in the alarm settings. This is a poor-man's implementation of per-playlist shuffle and repeat settings. I have no idea how that could be implemented, but I like my morning wake up in shuffle, and my getting dressed albums as the artist intended. This patch does that ;-) More info: http://www.coofercat.com/wiki/SlimServerAlarmPlaylistMode (possibly more up to date than here too) Otherwise, see the attached patch files. +---+ |Filename: alarm-mode-patch.tar | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2271| +---+ -- coofercat coofercat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9704 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31760 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Morning. Multi Library is great! Thanks. One issue... When creating Libraries, both Standard and Standard with Options include the Genre checkboxes. I assume this isn't what you intended. It is problematic for me because I have alot of genres to checkmark.

Hi Christian, Really interested in this plugin. Don't have Nuvo but have something similar with an RS232 interface. To be able to do basic functions such as select source (ie Squeezebox), zone select, volume up/down etc would be fantastic.

Not seeing any crashes here and I have been using it extensively over the past couple of days. The return key isn't working though, I used to be able to press return in the library to add/insert new music but it's stopped working. Not sure why. Other than that everything is great, thanks for all the changes and for the ability to change the font size.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Alien BBC & PCI latency
Could you provide a little more details on your configuration and the problem so that the problem and cure can be characterised and hopefully explained. What do you mean by droppouts - typically AlienBBC problems are either one of below depending on the source of the problem. - short burst of silence but streams continues or - longer gaps of silence, followed by stuttering and stream restarts Were you sending the BBC streams in Flac to the SB ? If Flac, did you get dropouts when streaming Flac files to SB ? Is the SB wired or wireless ? What version of mplayer are you using ? What values of the PCI timing did you use ? Assuming your PC is wired to the router - Is your Ethernet interface onboard or a separate PCI card ? If it is onboard what is the motherboard or PC model ? -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31748 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
