Re: [slim] Grandfather clock plugin, possible?
Indeed... :) with interchangeable chimes (Westminster, Whittington or St. Michael's, whatever, cuckoo clock!) and selectable period (off, 15, 30, 60 minutes) and probably a "turn off the chimes at night" option too. If I get this project in a decent state, I might enlist someone with an actual GF clock to send me some sound clips so as not to get on anyone's bad side by lifting some clips off the internet... Once I can get actual wav or mp3 clips playing at will, then I'll concentrate on the rest of the logic. Think about it, an SB with a decent amp would make a terrific high-tech grandfather clock!

...or a tropical rainforest or waves crashing on a beach, etc. The nice thing about a clock is that you _expect_ the sounds to be repetitive... a 5 second snippet of a roaring fire in a loop will probably get on everybody's nerves real quick! ;) -- dborn SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12387 - Debian - EN - utf8 Buffalo Linkstation HD-HG300, 266MHz PowerPC, 128MB RAM running Freelink (Debian etch) SlimDevices Squeezebox 2 wired dborn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=181 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Grandfather clock plugin, possible?
If you end up coding this plugin, I think you should also consider a 'roaring fire in background' option :) -- oktup oktup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1117 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Grandfather clock plugin, possible?
Thanks for the reply guys, Unfortunately for now, I'm stuck with V6.5 as I'm running off a NAS but I guess I could take a peek at the V7 code to see how it's done. I've been digging deeper in the squeezebox & slimp3 comm protocols and I've found commands to feed a stream directly into the SB decoder. It's as low-level as it gets but I'll see if I get lucky figuring out how it works without getting the SB into an incompatible mode WRT the rest of slimserver and its main task of playing music... -- dborn SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12387 - Debian - EN - utf8 Buffalo Linkstation HD-HG300, 266MHz PowerPC, 128MB RAM running Freelink (Debian etch) SlimDevices Squeezebox 2 wired dborn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=181 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Grandfather clock plugin, possible?
You could possibly use the "Heartbeat" sound embedded in SC7 to do the tick-tock sound. As for the chime sound and then maybe use the wind chimes sound again from the embedded sounds as the 15/30/45/60 chimes just running them longer each time Schatzy -- schatzy Kitchen - SB3 - Russound R235LS Amp - Russound SP-M8IM speakers in ceiling Main Stereo - SB3 - Nikko Beta 30 Preamp - Nikko Alpha 230 Amplifier - Genesis VI Speakers schatzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Grandfather clock plugin, possible?
I'm not completely sure, but I think I've read that SlimServer can only play stuff that is in the database and in the current playlist. So I suppose this means that you will need to go through the standard play/add code. The announcement script should give you some idea, it interrupts the currently playing song, plays an announcement sound, continue playing the original track. http://www.gwendesign.com/slimserver/dev_software.htm#announcement -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43105 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
