[SlimDevices: Plugins] Meedio SlimServer plugin
Hi All Well, it's been a long time coming / planning but I'm nearly there. My Meedio Plugin (http://www.meedio.com) is nearing completion and I'd like a little feedback (from those who are interested) in what they'd like to see in the finished version. The plugin is still pretty basic at the moment in that it allows you to : 1. Choose a player to control 2. Choose albums / tracks 3. Choose artists / albums / tracks err.. and that's about it (at least, that's all I want it for) One exciting thing about this plugin is the speed - it's *very* fast (compared to the sloth-like web interface for SlimServer - at least it is on my mini-itx box ;-) It works against the back end database of SlimServer itself (not using the CLI / Web interface), with none of the 'pauses' that you get using the SlimServer web-ui. (The CLI is used for certain calls / playing songs etc) There's a few screen shots linked below : Browsing Albums http://www.catdna.co.uk/slimserver/browse_albums_1.jpg Browsing Artists / Albums http://www.catdna.co.uk/slimserver/browse_artist_albums.jpg Browsing Album Tracks http://www.catdna.co.uk/slimserver/album_tracks.jpg Now Playing / Player Selection http://www.catdna.co.uk/slimserver/now_playing.jpg (sorry for the small size / resolution - these files were huge! and ignore the horrible background image, I was just 'playing' - the final version will use whatever images you setup in Meedio for your theme). Now, I'd like a little feedback as I get close to finishing this project - is there anything people would like to see in this ? There's an option to search / browse by Genre and of course, it'll need a 'search' facility (artist / album / track etc), but I was wondering if anybody needed / wanted anything else ? I'm writing this for myself mainly (I have a squeezebox2 and the sound quality just blows away the FMOD / BASS interface from meedio - hence the reason for writing this in the first place). One idea I've been toying with is running an external program / script on the startup / shutdown of the module (I'll be using it with HIP to blast IR codes to switch my AMP into SqueezeBox mode ) Let me know what you think Cheers Chris -- catdna catdna's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=377 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21170 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

The Now Playing screenshot doesn't look correct though - you appear to have Jimi Hendrix album artwork showing up, but the selected item is a Porcupine Tree track. Also, when you select an album to play, does the music that you select to play get added in track order? Only I notice that you have the mighty Groundhogs Split Part 2 queued to play before Split Part 1.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: More Last.FM problems
James, Thanks for all of the help, you've of course hit it on the head, I had the wrong version of the plugin. Being in the IT industry myself (network stuff) I'm not a complete idiot, so allow me to explain how this happened. When the official Last.FM site is visited it provides a direct link to the Audioscrobbler plugin for the Squeezebox but gives no mention whatsoever that without your Last.FM plugin for internet radio support all that will happen is your user data will be submitted to Last.FM. In my haste to get the proper plugin I did not check the version and hence the mistake. I would be happy to assist with documentation. I have three initial suggestions. 1. Kindly ask the SlimScrobbler people and/or the Last.FM folks to include a link to YOUR plugin and an explanation that BOTH plugins are needed to actually accomplish music playback with Last.FM service on the Squeezebox. 2. Include a readme file with every release of Last.FM that indicates what version it is intended for (I realize this is on the website, but I think it would help quite a bit). 3. In the same readme include some very basic documentation for setup of the application, including some sample radio stations, etc. I would be happy to assist with drafting something for you to include. Thanks again, now that the service is working I'm really happy with how your plugin works! -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21151 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Kyle Wrote: I've got last.fm up and running, but I'm a little confused about choosing music from the website and playing it through the SB. Also, it doesn't appear as though last.fm is seeing what I am playing unless I am playing a last.fm feed. Is it supposed to see the music from my own collection that I choose? Ah, a perfect opportunity to share the joy and explain how some of this works! OK, here's how it works. You need to put your user name and password in the slimscrobbler plugin (in the plugins section of your slimserver web interface), the slimscrobbler plugin will then automatically send information to Last.fm about what kind of music you have been playing on your squeezebox(s). At about two minutes into listening to a track it will transmit the info to last.fm website and update your user profile info with the data about the song. Then in the internet radio section under last.fm you define the stations you want to listen to with the squeezebox. You do NOT control the last.fm feed from your PC (at least not that I can figure out, all that happens if I run the pc client and SB at the same time is the SB gets confused and gets no audio output). For example, if you play the /slimscrobbler station then Last.FM will start playing music that is associated with tags for music you have been playing on your own squeezebox. If you want to build an artist station then you would populate it as such; /artist/Hooverphonic/similarartists Want a station for listening to rock? /globaltags/rock Or your own personal station that is defined from what you've listened to in the PC Client? /usr/your username Your favorite (loved) tracks that you have marked while listening (if you are a subscriber)? /usr/your username/loved Once you have music playing then if you arrow down in the Last.FM menu from the Squeezebox you will see the options to love/skip/ban songs or to change the station to any of the above. There is always an option to change the station to a new artist station based on the artist you are currently listening to. Hope this helps, and I hope someone captures some of this into whatever readme/FAQ/manual gets created for the plugin! :) -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21151 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
