This is known as "Static DHCP", and I can confirm that it works quite
well in this situation.
I'm doing this with a Linksys WRT54GL, and Sveasoft firmware, but I
understand that Tomato (which works on a lot of router models) does it
as well - other routers and/or replacement firmwares may also have this
option.

Actually, in FF, you do not need to have a tab open already. Just drag
the link to the "tab bar", i.e. to the right of the right-most open
tab. It'll open in a new tab, the same as if you had Ctrl-clicked.

[slim] Squeezebox Classic Promo Code

2009-01-09 Thread rfreedman

I just purchased a black Squeezebox Classic from the Logitech Squeezebox
Store (http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_squeezebox.html).

While I was looking on the web for the lowest price, I found the promo
code "blackisbest" (unfortunately, I can't remember now where I found
it).

I entered the promo code at the store, and sure enough, I got a price
of $249

Re: [slim] Album Catalogue Creater

2009-01-07 Thread rfreedman

I reworked the xsl stylesheet.
It produces the same output as before, but is much more efficient.
Note that the forEach construct is very expensive, and generally
frowned upon.

I attached the new stylesheet, as well as some python code to do the
transform.
I think that you should consider doing the transform server-side,
instead of sending the xml to the browser with a stylesheet reference -
not all browsers handle that well. The only issue here is that you have
to install libxml2, and I'm not sure if that's available on Windows or
not...

As far as the actual output, I think it might be a good idea to put out
divs instead of tables, and put css classes on the divs. That way, you
could skin it using css, and provide different css according to the
user's choice.
I'll work on that as I can over the next couple of days.

I'm interested too.
While I'm not fluent in Python, I'm sure that I can get by.
I do have a lot of XSLT experience, though, so if you can give me an
idea of what you want the output to look like, I'd be happy to help
out.

Re: [slim] Turning SB on or off and controlling volume from timers?

2008-10-11 Thread rfreedman

If you are programmer, then the CLI (command line interface) should be
pretty easy to work with. 

The documentation is on your slimserver - you can get to it at
yourserver:9000/html/docs/cli-api.html

You can test your commands by using telnet to connect to your server on
port 9090.

I wrote a Java program a while back that used this interface to put
caller id on the SB display.

It's not RSS, but you can get all the info you want by hitting the
server's http xml interface with http://server:port/xml/status.xml

If you need it to be in RSS format, you could write an xsl transform...

I had pretty much given up on getting internet radio streams to work

I agree - I think that stability of the existing codebase should take
priority over new features. 

As of today, there are 29 bugs listed as "major" or higher in severity.


I would hope that at least these 29 would be fixed before any new
features are added.
