Yes, that did sound quite tricky. Also it doesn't seem to be possible to
capture the sound indefinitely, a time period is required.

Anyway, followiTunes is done as-is: 
it's not supposed to be a plugin, because your SlimServer might not be
on the same machine as iTunes.

Really, installing Perl and double clicking on the script should be all
you need to do.

Give it a go and I suspect you'll realise it's not quite what you want!

Ah! OK In theory...

Open up the script in notepad.
Firstly is the SlimServer host the same as your SlimServer host? 
If not, you need to replace the $server_address variable with the
correct IP address.
Secondly, you need to enter the MAC Address of the squeezebox to control
in the $player variable.

Save the changes and double click the script. 
You'll get the DOS box come up and it should say something about
connecting to iTunes (you should be running this on the iTunes host),
iTunes will open if it wasn't already running.

Then try playing a track in iTunes that SlimServer also knows about...

I suppose it is what you want then, although the SB will actually be

Therefore if you want to run the script you would need to install

Then you'd just run it - double click should work after the Perl
installation.

It's not entirely clear quite what you need here but...

Have you looked at the 'shadowplay' plugin? This allows you to control
remote SlimServer clients.
I'm not sure if it would work on a stream-only client though.

I also think it would be possible to write a plugin for controlling
iTunes from SlimServer (using applescript (OSX) or OLE (windows)), and
relaying the playback info. But it doesn't exist at present...

You know you can integrate SlimServer with iTunes? It's not quite as
immediate as with Roku, as you'll need to rescan the iTunes library
after creating a new playlist to make it available in iTunes. If you
have a lot of existing playlists though, they'll be available all the
time.

Alternatively if you're a Windows user, have a look at Moose which is a

I think the problem is that iTunes doesn't do what you expect when given
an m3u. 
It appears it just loads all the tracks from the m3u into the library
and plays them.
Now, I assume that wtbates already has all the tracks in his library, so
it probably doesn't appear to do anything!

Possibly the m3u files will need some massaging regardless to match
iTunes' point of view though...

RE: [slim] iTune and Slimserver on Different PCs?

2006-01-11 Thread Craig, James (IT)
Hi Wei,
SlimServer doesn't use iTunes 'sharing' feature. 
You would need to mount your windows laptop as a drive on your Linux
server.
(I'm not sure how you would do this, most people are usually looking for
the reverse setup)

For full iTunes support in SlimServer you need to make sure both the
iTunes Library XML file and the music itself are available to
SlimServer. But the file paths are unlikely to match what's in iTunes so
this may not even work.

Alternatively maybe you could run 2 SlimServer installations, one on the
laptop, one on the Linux box?
I believe in SB2/SB3 it's relatively easy to switch between SlimServers.

That's not a bug I believe, you're supposed to put the shared album name
in the 'common album titles' preference.

But can one put 'No Album' in this list?

If so I guess that solves the problem. I will try that tonight.

RE: [slim] Playlists

 I have the playlist folder on the same device and the server settings 
 set to \\Rimmer1\music\MP3 Data\!Playlists which is obviously in a 
 different branch to the MP3s; there are quite a few playlists 
 in there. 

Can you post a sample of the entries from the playlists? 
Maybe the paths don't match up with what SlimServer is expecting.

You could also enable d_scan (I think, maybe d_parse?) debugging, start
a playlist-only rescan and check for errors in the log
(http://your server:9000/log.text) as well.

It really sounds like you are not waiting for the initial iTunes scan to

I'd guess that is going to take at least 30 minutes if all goes well.

With the interval set to 0 there is no initial scan hence no problem

 dfrazee,
 
 It might be worth your while to startup slimserver via command line so
 that you can capture any debug output.  You'll need ActivePerl though
 which you can download and installed.  Once installed, kill your
 running slimserver.  Then open a Windows command shell, 
 
 Start-Run and enter
 
 cmd
 
 and hit Enter.
 
 The change directories
 
 cd \Program Files\SlimServer\server
 
 (or wherever your slimserver is installed).  The run:
 
 .\slimserver.pl
 
 and minimize the command shell window.  If it crashes, you'll have
 output in the command shell window, that you can post here.

RE: [slim] Re: I love my Squeezebox, but it NEVER works perfectly

2005-11-15 Thread Craig, James (IT)
I think it is a common problem. 
It seems to be affecting Mac users more than XP users. Or maybe there
are just more iTunes users on Mac?

The iTunes rescan changed significantly from 5.4 6.2 and produces a
different performance profile than before.
It has to both parse the iTunes XML and scan the files, so much more
work than the filesystem scan only.
But it is now a lot more accurate in my experience, and you have the
option to only scan playlists.

For me, (10,000 songs on 2Ghz Xp box) the SlimServer is unlistenable
(although menus are usable) during the scan.

I'd recommend setting your automatic rescan interval to 0 (disabled) and
using the rescan plugin to schedule a daily rescan at a time you won't
be using the system.

 When I disable the iTunes plugin it works perfectly.  but, it 
 no longer
 uses iTunes which I want it to use.  When I tell it to rescan 
 it reverts
 to not using iTunes.  When I switch it to use iTunes it plays 
 music for
 a few seconds then stops then picks back up.  What should I do?

Most likely the iTunes rescan is running. Music playback will be patchy
until this completes.

It can take a while depending on the size of your library so you may
want to adjust the iTunes rescan interval accordingly.
(otherwise SlimServer may just rescan iTunes continuously)

RE: [slim] itunes plugin windows, ss on linux

2005-11-02 Thread Craig, James (IT)
Yes, you can run the iTunes plugin from a Linux SlimServer, as long as
it can see the location of the iTunes Library XML file and the music
files. You'll need to copy the Library file over as a one-off if not.

This might end up being a lot of work for a party this weekend though!

There was mentioned a tool for creating .m3u playlists from iTunes
recently, this could be an alternative.
You may need to doctor the m3u files after creating them, so the paths
match the file locations on LINUX, but that should be easy.
I found this http://chimpen.com/things/archives/001450.php on Google but
I'm sure there are others.

RE: [slim] SlimServer starting...

Hi Ronny,
I'm guessing you don't have a SlimServer service installed?

This should get created automatically but there seems to be a problem
here.

Try reinstalling SlimServer and this should create it.

It seems there is an outstanding bug for this issue: 
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1960

You should be able to create the missing service by running 
C:\program files\SlimServer\Server\Slim.exe -install

You upgraded from v6.1 ? 

The database schema has changed for 6.2 so a rescan is required.

Indeed, there won't be, unless there is a major database change.

Which one would hope is unlikely this close to the official release.

It's on engadget already and gizmodo does always seem to lag them a

Ooops.

Try doing a refresh...

Ah I thought it would be unlike SlimDevices to make such a big slip-up.
Announcement today surely?

I'm hoping it's just the SB2 in a new box, then I'll have no reason to
be depressed.

I like that the headphone socket has moved to the back, and the arial
has gone.
My SB2 looks rather untidy now I've an IR Blaster sticking out of the
headphone socket.

I don't like the extra height though!

Put the SB1 on ebay quick - they are still going for a very reasonable
amount (in the UK, not sure about US prices)

It's the same as SB2 though isn't it... I couldn't see anything in the
manual relating to new features?
