You need to transcode as squeezebox players don't support aac natively. However as long as you trascode to flac or wav (decode not transcode?) then there should be no loss of quality. -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SqueezeScrobbler 1.0 for SqueezeCenter 7.0
Hi There, Looking for someone who has the power to fix this plugin.I wrote the same thing for the native plugin. The way i look at it. the plugin that can get this worked out first all the better. Anyways i prefer the Submission of genres as tags with this one. Thoug i would like the "love this track " facility as well. At the moment When scrobbling tracks with multiple artists. SC scrobbles the whole tag. e.g. Crosby, Stills & Nash/David Crosby/Stephen Stills/Graham Nash I use the artist that i would like scrobbled as the first part of the Artist tag, e.g. Crosby, Stills & Nash/David Crosby/Stephen Stills/Graham Nash I would like 'Crosby, Stills & Nash' Scobbled. I consider this a bug. As Squeezecenter Offers the ability to have multiple items in tags, and this helps with finding all artists contributions over a large data base. I strongly believe the importance of fixing this issue is paramount as we also have the ability to Scrobble to Last.FM and my scrobbles are just wrong for those tracks. So i was thinking we could attack this as such. in the LastFM scrobble options page have an option "submit first artist for tracks with multiple artists" have a check box. The Code that exists would just need some code inserted that would have the Psuedo code as such. Needs a variable set up as artist. Does the track have multiple artists? No. --> Assign artist tag to variable. Yes. --> Is the check box ticked on the lastFm options page? No. --> Assign artist tag to variable Yes. --> Cut Artists tag from beggining till it reaches the delimiter. which is set in the Music Library Options page. Assign this result to the variable, "Artist" then follow the existing code to submit it. Of course you could have another option to join the multiple artists; Make; Crosby, Stills & Nash/David Crosby/Stephen Stills/Graham Nash Crosby, Stills & Nash,David Crosby,Stephen Stills & Graham Nash By counting the artists, inserting commas and ampersands where needed. Depending on how people tag there files. >From what i've gathered at LastFm they will not be using a facility to cope with the multiple artist problem specifically they are working at fingerprinting songs which will help and i suppose at that point we will be submitting the fingerprint id for songs. Anyways any support would be appreciatted. I love scrobbling. I use to find events in my area, find bands i haven't heard of close to those i listen to. And the more accurate my scrobbles the better. -- Volition Volition's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5534 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38845 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SB3: TitleSwitcher + MusicInfoScreen example usage
The %% was my patch to the code to allow me to use double quotes, and to place text -after- the given string (i.e. the trailing double quote). So, for example, the %% in this: Code: "%%"ARTIST is replaced by what follows, which is ARTIST, yielding: Code: "ARTIST" including the double quotes. You can just configure your configuration string as: Code: TRACKNUM.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
I've gone ahead and posted 5.8.8 to www.gregbrown.net. What's new: - Fixed SqueezeServer 7.4 compatibility issues. - Fixed MLB/NBA refresh collision (Thanks Steve B and family.) ** Please support the plugin by starting all your Amazon.com shopping via clicking through the Amazon.com links on www.gregbrown.net *** Please note, I have configured this version as requiring 7.4 as the minimum if you do a repo add/update. It may work manually (non Repo) with 7.3.3 but I don't have a working 7.3.x instance to test it on. If anyone can do me a favor and test it on 7.3.x it'd be greatly appreciated. I now have a SuperDateTime repository available to make downloading/updating easy. This repo is usually updated faster than the main repo provided by Slim Devices. Please give it a shot by adding: http://gregbrown.net/squeeze/repo.xml via Settings -> Advanced -> Extension Downloader Sorry about me going MIA for a while.

Maybe put it by the custom command text box as > something like 'wake system to perform this action'. The one non-custom action available in the drop-down list that, it seems to me, is worthy of a wake-up is the 'Restart Server' action. I know that some folks pride themselves on the fact that their linux servers have been up for years at a time without a reboot. I'm not one of them. I like to see my server rebooted once a day. But, certainly, that could be accomplished in a custom script. My own custom EOD script updates the OS, updates a couple of different svn branches of SqueezeCenter code, reboots the server and then, shortly thereafter, a SC wipe-and-rescan gets initiated. So, all my chores get performed daily between 2 & 3 am. Can you think of an example of a custom script action that wouldn't be worthy of a wake-up? If I can get away without having to add another pref, I'd prefer that. Another tweak to the EOD behavior that I'm thinking of trying is this: If the EOD idle timeout is set to zero, then the custom script gets executed just once within that EOD period. All other EOD idle invocations would ignore the custom script and fire the selected 'stock' action instead. This would allow the custom script to fire once and perform the big chores. Then, with SC restarted, the next EOD action could be a quick suspend. Thus the server would be awake for a shorter time for the chores. This would suit my purposes, anyway. I'm just not sure I've thought through all the (potentially unintended) consequences here. -- gharris999 gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66330 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

After thinking some more about it, obviously it's only worth waking for the EOD action if it's custom (so not just to shut it down again) but ultimately there are custom actions that may also be irrelevant for a shutdown system, so the extra checkbox gives ultimate flexibilty while not wasting power (and hdd wear, etc.) to wake just to wait 40 minutes and then shut down again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Are you willing to pay for a Sirius Radio plug-in?
I doubt this has anything to do with Canadian law. I'm thinking that Sirius Canada has made some kind of technical change that GoCubs could probably accomodate if he had the time/inclination to do so. Sirius Canada has been very helpful to GoCubs in the past, even giving him an ID to use for his development. Sure wish GoCubs would return - or at least formally tell us he has given up. I will make a contribution to him if he does return and fix this. -- Rick B.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
I think somne of those connection problems are related to SC - in an earlier Triode post - he says that he had to put a patch into 7.4 to fix one connection issue. Not sure about the WAV point - the audio format is AAC which is transcdoed into Flac to be played by the player. If you check the running processes you should see faad running when an AAC stream is being decoded. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
I have installed iPlayer 0.9beta2 on my Windows 7.3.3 SC and disabled all AAC file types options but faad/flac. I am finding usage of the main BBC stations quite flaky on my Controller (controlling an SB3). Some live streams connect some of the time and some don't some of the time (Controller reports "Connecting"). There appears to be no pattern that I can see. Whether the stream happens to connect or not appears random. However, when streams do connect the connection time is quite short. Also, sometimes I have to go up a menu level (or even two) before I can connect to another live stream (and sometimes not). The only constant is that BBC Asian Radio sounds like a very bad AM transmission. BTW. How can I verify that I am actually receiving high quality AAC streams as WAV?
