The comments posted in reply to the post should then be about that version. I receive posts via the mailing list, so new stuff appears at the bottom. Also, I can see when there's a new version because there's a new post with a new version id in it. If I see an old thread with new messages, I wouldn't know if that's because there's a new comment, or a new version (and changing the title of the thread to represent the latest version isn't a good idea, as those updates aren't sent to the mailing list).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Guidance for new plugin developers?
Hello all... I've been looking at the "Developing plugins" pages in the Wiki, and I've been struggling to get even the most basic plugin to be recognised by SlimServer. So I have a couple of queries: 1. Is there a lump of skeleton plugin code which can be used as the basis for new development projects? If not, would the SlimServer crew consider creating and maintaining a "Hello World" plugin? Such a plugin would (I guess) be less than a couple of Kb in size, and most of that comments 2. Are there any docs available to say which parts of SlimServer constitute an "API", and which are internal? I didn't see much evidence of a "best practices" document in the Wiki. I have looked at the code for other plugins, but there's no guarantee that they're not using nasty tricks 3. What about any formal API documentation? I'm sure there'll be tons of routines in SlimServer that would be available for plugin devs to use, but are not generally known about and therefore often re-invented. How about a list of callbacks available from SlimServer to plugins? 4. I wonder which forum would be best suited for discussions about plugin development? This one seems to be more about announcements and discussions of released plugins... do all you developers write your plugins in isolation? Er, I think that's all for now! I've probably got my SlimServer / perl terminology all wrong, but I hope you get the gist of what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance...

When I started to developing plugins I looked at other plugins that did something similar. Typically you won't find everything in a single plugin, you might want to look at the player display code in one plugin and at the web interface code in another. Without knowing what type of plugin you are going to write it is hard to give you a good sample. Michaels reference is probably a good start in case you just like something very simple.

Regarding the functions available in slimserver that you can call from your plugin I haven't seen any documentation. Functions called by the plugins included with slimserver should be pretty formal, functions only used by other 3rd party plugins are probably less formal. You should be aware that the slimserver API changes between releases, this was the case between 6.3 to 6.5 and will definitely be the case between 6.5 and 7.0. This will be the case even if you are using only the formal functions. I have only been around since 6.2 and the upgrade to 6.3 didn't require me to change anything in the plugins, the upgrade to 6.5 required quite big changes. I expect the changes in the 7.0 upgrade to be pretty big to since one of the release points on 7.0 is a restructured plugin api. By big changes I mean that I had to spend one of a few days changing the plugin code, compared to the time spent to develop the plugins this is very little. mflint;170829 Wrote: > 4.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Exceute on client power on
What do you mean by "power on"? Players can be powered on by multiple means, including: - a remote control's Power button (IR code) - the web interface right-side "ON" link - the web interface right-side "PLAY" link - the web interface left-side triangle Play link (next to a playlist or sog) - the CLI - an Alarm set for that player and I found that, in order to have my BottleRocket plugin properly control power for a player's amp, I had to watch for SlimServer "power", "play", and "playlist" commands. (Frankly, this strikes me as a little weird & buggy. I would expect that using the web "PLAY" link to turn on a player should include something like invoking a "power", "_newvalue", "1" command for the player, but that's not what I've seen in practice.) Execute.pm's power code/command only seems to act in conjunction with the SlimServer "power" command, so it almost certainly won't handle all the different ways that a player can be powered on. If you want your code to execute every time a player powers on, regardless of how the player was turned on, I suggest you also look at BottleRocket, AMP Switch, and Power Switch. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?PluginRemoteControls And realize that you won't be able to have code run when a player attached to SqueezeNetwork powers on, not until SlimServer 7.0 at least. -Peter -- peterw peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31693 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

I'm using three NuVo Squeezeboxes together with a NuVo Essentia Multiroom system. The central Squeezebox is connected at source input #6 at NuVo Essentia. The plugin I've written is using a web service, which is able to control the NuVo system (switch zone on/off, select source, etc.). If I now switch on the squeezebox of a certain zone, I would like to automatically switch on the assigned zone and select the central squeezebox as source input.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Control NuVo Multi-Room System
Hi, Christian. Monitoring for volume changes is easy in SlimServer 6.5; see http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html for some working code. If you want the volume changes to affect the Nuvo volume instead of the Squeezebox output, you might want to start with VolumeLock_mixerVolumeCommand and VolumeLock_mixerMutingCommand, adding code to see whether the attempt is to go up or down and to call the Nuvo API. I have not looked into the mixerDisplay() source code, but it sure seems like it would be nice for your application to have the SB display the Nuvo volume level instead of the (presumably fixed) SB output level. If you really want to monitor only the remote control's buttons (and not things like using the web UI to change the volume), take a look at http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html I don't recall the specifics, but running slimserver.pl with arguments --d_command and --d_ir was helpful in finding command and button names. -Peter -- peterw peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30731 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Multi Library plugin
I have made a new plugin called Multi Library which makes it possible to define sub libraries within your main slimserver library. Each sub library will be possible to browse separately using the Custom Browse plugin. In a multiple player setup, you can also specify that a specific sub library only shall be available on a specific SqueezeBox/Transporter. A sub library can be defined by: - A directory path - A specific comment tag value - All tracks included in specific genres - All tracks excluded from specific genres Currently the sub library concept is only supported by the Custom Browse plugin. The standard SlimServer browse menus will not support these sub libraries, so you will have to browse your music using the similar Custom Browse menus. You will find the plugin at my 'download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) as usual. NOTE 1 You need at least Custom Browse 1.17, earlier versions won't work. NOTE 2 It has only been tested on slimserver 6.5.* and probably doesn't work on any previous slimserver version. If anyone tests this plugin I would appreciate some feedback about how it works and wishes for new features and improvement of existing features. SOME TECHNICAL DETAILS ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION FOR THOSE INTERESTED - The library definitions are stored as *.ml.xml or *.ml.values.xml files in the directory specified in the Multi Library settings page. - The library definition is basically a SQL statement that returns all tracks that should be part of the library. The user doesn't have to see the SQL statement unless he wants to. There is a simple mode available that is used by default, in the same way as Custom Browse/SQLPlayList plugins. - At startup, after rescan and every time the library definition is changed, the SQL statement for the library is executed. The result is stored in the database in a number of relation tables which contains references to exactly the tracks, artists, albums, years and genres that shall be part of the library. The tables are named: --- multilibrary_libraries (contains the identifiers and name of each library) --- multilibrary_track (contains the track references for each library) --- multilibrary_album (contains the album references for each library) --- multilibrary_contributor (contains the contributor references for each library) --- multilibrary_genre (contains the genre references for each library) --- multilibrary_year (contains the years for each library) - The core tables are multilibrary_libraries and multilibrary_track, the rest of the tables are generated based on these two just to get better performance later when browsing the library. - The Custom Browse plugin version 1.17 contains updated menu configurations that uses the extra multilibrary tables to limit the contents of the menus. - By default the Multi Library plugin provides a main menu for each library and below that a number of sub menus. You can add additional Custom Browse menus to a library by creating them from the Custom Browse interface and just set the "Menu Group" parameter to the library name and set the "Library" parameter to the correct library. The Custom Scan menu types will probably be available in Custom Scan 1.15 (which isn't released yet). - The Multi Library plugin also provides a skip filter to the Custom Skip plugin making it possible to configure it to skip all tracks besides those that belongs to the currently selected library. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist), 'Custom Browse' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-custombrowse),'Custom Scan' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-customscan),'Custom Skip' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-customskip) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31742 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Is slimserver installed on a Windows, Apple OSX or Linux systems ? -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30918 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Multi Library plugin
Took me a while to figure out how it is meant to work, because of problem (1) below. It's more comprehensive than I was expecting - you've done a lot so quickly! I think some more general getting started instructions would be useful. Some initial feedback: 1. I had trouble creating a standard library to start with. This is I think due to various issues with special characters in file names and directory paths. I think it doesn't like spaces in the library filename. I think it doesn't like apostrophies in directory paths. eg. I tried creating a library with the name "Phil's Music". This would have a directory path of "M:\Music\Phil's Music". I tried to save this as "phils music.ml.values.xml". I have successfully created a library: Library name: "live". Directory "M:\Music\Live Concerts". Filename "live.ml.values.xml". 2. Is it necessary for a user to enter a library filename? Why not create the name with some unique id in the name, eg. "library 001.ml.values.xml". You can still display the filename that has been used to save the library definition, so the user could edit the file by hand if necessary. 3. Will refreshing libraries be quick, or should there be some progress indicator? 4. I was anticipating a "Libraries" menu alongside Custom Browse, and within that a list of the configured libraries that are visible to the current player, rather than adding the libraries directly within Custom Browse. 5. I was anticipating a way of configuring many different custom browse methods, and then being able to select the custom browse methods to add to each library, such that each library acts like custom browse. Add a new way of browsing music in custom browse, and it would immediately be available to all sub-libraries. ie. custom browse would be like a library that includes all music. At the moment, I believe I have to create a set of custom browse menus for each library (although some builtin ones are generated automatically). 6. What effect does activating a library have in the Multi Library web interface? Phil ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Multi Library plugin
I have configured a library called "Surround Sound". This is configured to only be available on my Squeezebox in the lounge, as other players would just play static. I can see that when I select the Lounge player, the Surround Sound library is ghosted in the web UI (after refreshing the page), so the restriction seems to have been picked up here. I thought that this would restrict the library from appearing in Custom Browse, but it is visible. I see that I can configure each browse method that has been created for the Surround Sound library, so that the browse method is restricted to certain players.

I can't delete the Surround Sound/* menus. I don't really need some of them, eg. Surround Sound/Decades, as I only have a handfull of surround sound albums available in the library, so would never browse this library by decades. I can modify the menu, and then get a delete option, but that just resets it back to the builtin version.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Alien BBC & PCI latency
I'd been suffering intermittent dropouts listening to BBC streams using Alien and living with it, since I couldn;t work our what the problem was, it certainly wasn't the network. After setting up a MythTV box I discovered that increasing PCI latency timing really helped MythTV (and doesn't MythTV rock). Did the same to my Slimserver box and bingo - no dropouts. I use Linux and this can be done easily with the setpci command. I played about with this and then set the timings in the bios - if your motherboard allows this its easy. Might be worth a try if you are having similar hard to diagnose dropout problems.

Adding an extra "Libraries" part at the top of the hierarchy wouldn't be a problem, might be a good idea to have this configurable as a parameter when you define the libraries. Inside or outside custom browse is probably a matter of taste. Some people have created a custom key map for slimserver that connects the "Browse" button on the remote to the Custom Browse menu, these would probably like to have the menu inside Custom Browse. Other people are seeing Custom Browse as just an extra method for browsing besides the slimserver standard browsing methods, these would probably like "Libraries" menu on the top. You can move the current menus to the top from inside the "Enable/Disable menus/mixers " link in the Custom Browse web interface. I also have an idea that it should be an alternative to just have a flat menu structure with Albums, Artists, Genres (and the rest) and selecting which tracks that should be shown in them by activating a specific library.

The idea is that the current solution will probably be good enough for most people since you get all the standard slimserver ways of browsing the music for each library, plus some extra methods. It will be a bit more work for people which have a lot of different libraries since the extra menus needs to setup for each library, but I imagine this is something you do once and it isn't changed so often so its probably not a big issue. I also think its a good idea to make it possible to have a different set of sub menus for each library. This way it is possible to make a simplified browsing for some family members, with just a few menus in their library, and a still make more advanced browsing methods available for other family members with a lot of menus. Phil Meyer;171062 Wrote: > 6. What effect does activating a library have in the Multi Library web > interface?At the moment it only activate the skipping of tracks in the Custom > Skip plugin if you have setup a "Not Active Library" skip filter. You can also activate a library with the remote from the Plugins/Multi Library menu. The idea is that one library will always be activated/selected, the first library you create should be activated automatically and you can change to another one manually. At the moment it only affects the skipping as described above but I have some future ideas to make stuff like the following possible: - Having a setup with standard menus at the top like "Albums", "Artists", "Genres". By activating a specific library you select which tracks that should be shown in these menus. - Possibility to execute other type of actions when activating a library, for example changing user in the SlimScrobbler plugin to select the user on which tracks are submitted to LastFM.
