Re: [slim] Turning SB on or off and controlling volume from timers?
Hi, I am having trouble to connect to the squeezecenter also. I have disabled the firewall completely (for the tests). I am having trouble from remote (other pc) as well as from the pc running squeezecenter. Sorry to tell that the PC hosting squeezecenter is a Vista machine ... The error number in Telnet by the way is "Could not ... on Port 23 (???) I entered "o xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9090" in the Telnet command line on the remote pc and "o localhost:9090" on the pc histing squeezecenter. And I do get the exact same error ... starnge! -- jwka jwka's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17426 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Turning SB on or off and controlling volume from timers?
Michael, "That was easy" I didn't think I had the MS firewall enabled but sure enough it was and port 9090 was not enabled. Enabling it gave me instant access to the slimserver. Thanks for the tip. While researching the CLI I came across an article which describes controlling slimserver from a VB program. The article is here --> http://www.pcw.co.uk/personal-computer-world/features/2204179/hands-controlling-slimserver-vb The VB program is available here --> http://www.itwriting.com/slimserver.php I can program VB and with port 9090 enabled this program connects right up to my slimserver so I can use it as a guide to build my own time based controlling program. Thanks everyone for the initial information...I'm sure I'll have some CLI questions as I get into it. -- mskvarenina mskvarenina's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17717 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Turning SB on or off and controlling volume from timers?
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. -- rfreedman rfreedman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7270 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

One relatively easy route is this: open the web interface in Classic mode (http://yourip:9000/Classic/). Look at the right-hand pane. Copy the URL associated with the Power On link, e.g. http://noir:9000/Classic/status_header.html?p0=power&p1=1&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A11%3A22%3A33 Request that URL in a new window. You'll probably see an error that displays a longer URL like http://noir:9000/Classic/status_header.html?p0=power&p1=1&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A11%3A22%3A33;cauth=bigstringhere It's that latter URL that your script should request. In Perl you could use the LWP module to do it. In Linux you'd just use 'wget'. In Windows I'd probably install PowerShell and use a .Net object in a PS1 script (be sure to set the execution policy for powershell to allow unsigned local scripts). Figure out each such URL you need, string 'em together, schedule it. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

How about the srvrpowerctrl plugin?

Re: [slim] Turning SB on or off and controlling volume from timers?
I'm a programmer/software developer by trade. I just don't know the commands or parameters for the SB so a simple example would be great. Don't know much about alarms, if they can select a playlist at a certain volume at a certain time then they may work but you can always do more with direct programming. -- mskvarenina mskvarenina's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17717 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Turning SB on or off and controlling volume from timers?
WHy not use alarms ? It may not be quite the functionality you need but no coding. An alarm to turn it on with a long duration. An alarm which plays a short track of silence to turn it off. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

peterw, Would you mind posting a small working example. I'm sure if I see it once I'll be able to modify it to meet my need. For example purposes, let's say I wanted to turn on RECEIVER1, set volume to 50(%) and set the playlist to PLAYLIST1. >From what you said earlier I'd setup a PERL script and have the Windows scheduler run it at a specific time. -- mskvarenina mskvarenina's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17717 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

SqueezeCenter and your Receiver can be controlled by any of the following: - Perl "plugins" running inside SqueezeCenter - applications on your server or network using the telnet-like Command Line Interface - applications on your server or network using the simple HTTP interface - applications on your server or network using the Comet/JSON interface used by the Controller and SqueezePlay apps - applications on your server or network using the xPL interface The simple HTTP interface is probably easiest -- one quick wget/WebRequest per command (power on, volume to NNN) in a script run as a cron job / scheduled task. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim AllQuiet BlankSaver ContextMenu FuzzyTime KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53643 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I'd like to be able to turn my SB receiver on at a certain time of the day and turn it off at a certain time. I'd also like to regulate the volume based on the time of day.
