[slim] HA : Can I broadcast a signal to slimserver ?

2007-06-27 Thread Alaric

Hi Guys,

I have a slimserver PC and a couple of squeezeboxes with some speakers
about my home. I'm also looking at installing a few more with ceiling
speakers and bitsA kind of distributed home audio system.

I'm also curently playing with a few bits of Home Automation,
particularly in respects to my cinema set-up and just hit on the idea
of re-using some stuff that i already have - Ie the Squeezebox
network.

So, is it posible to do a broadcast to the squeezebox, say such as a
doorbell message or similar - Ie briefly interupt the curent program,
play the message then resume the current program for that box ???

Would be a wonderfuly useful feature if its posible ???

Thanks,
Lee

Hi There,

It looks interesting, however it is a perl script and from having a
quick read through it, it has only been tested on Linux. I'm running a
win NT/2000 server for my server box !

Ta,
Lee

Hi There,

Yeah i've used that before a long while backHowever i still think
of perl as linux based !

Curiously do you have to run this script on the slimserver box, or can
it be from anywhere ???

Ta,
Lee
