Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm/Scrobbler suggestion
SlimServer leaves it as it was. I could change my tags - but they really do match the "requirements" set by Freedb http://ftp.freedb.org/pub/freedb/latest/DBFORMAT I know that I should really move to use MusicBrainz - but I haven't got around to that process yet. I did download an updated CDEx that claims to support MusicBrainz but so far not a single CD that I have bought has been found by it in MusicBrainz (I haven't researched hard to see where that problem lies - but I do get a lot of unusual CDs so I wasn't too surprised). -- Paul Webster Paul Webster http://www.lastfm.com/user/BondJamesBond Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Thanks for the info, considering the amount of money Sirius is paying for Stern I highly doubt they'd allow him to be broadcast for free. My guess is Crystal.net will ultimately receive a cease and desist notice, especially since I know Sirius monitors this thread... BTW- The plugin doesn't really have any "ongoing" issues, and it's especially easier to configure now that the built-in wma decoding supports playing the streams direct. Of course, you'll still need a server running to at least connect you to the stream initially. -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Are you willing to pay for a Sirius Radio plug-in?
If all you want to really do is just listen to Stern, it's on the Crystal.net internet radio channel. Get the url at Shoutcast.com and create a favorite for it at SqueezeNetwork.com. All Stern all the time. Certainly this is easier than using a plug-in with SlimServer, with all it's attendant and ongoing issues, and which requires that the PC be turned on. Plug in your fm transmitter and your livin like it's 1999 again (finally). I've discovered that the show simply repeats nonstop through the day, which is the ideal that Sirius has yet to realize. They repeat the same show through the day, not that days' show but a very recent one, without commercials. I wouldn't be surprised if Crystal.net has approval, otherwise how could such a prominent re-broadcast continue to be undiscovered? -- NauticusLX NauticusLX's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8981 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

OK. I didn't mention it, but I can "telnet localhost 9090" without any problem (though I don't know how to issue CLI commands). I don't think the CLI is the culprit here. More likely some Flash/Firefox/Linux quirk... I wonder if anyone else has used this skin with a Linux browser and the latest Flash? Might be possible to try using a Live-CD. Knoppix and 'these instructions' (http://linuxactivist.blogspot.com/2007/02/put-little-flash-in-it-adding-flash.html) would seem like a good option... Might try it myself if I find a little time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Last.fm/Scrobbler suggestion
Given that last.fm doesn't like tracks by an artist called "Various" ... and that some people (ok ... me) have CDs ripped that way with ID3 tags becuase that is how Freedb wanted them ... could Slimscrobbler take special action if the artist is "Various" or "Various Artists" and the track name has an occurrance of " / " and submit the calculated artist and title. e.g. Artist: Various Title: Uschi Bauer / Kuckucks Jodler gets submitted as Artist: Uschi Bauer Title: Kuckucks Jodler -- Paul Webster Paul Webster http://www.lastfm.com/user/BondJamesBond Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: slimfx - Flash-based Skin / Control App
As mentioned elsewhere, the current track doesn't seem to be updated automatically. I haven't seen this glitch mentioned: if the page is refreshed, the compact track display is always presented, even if the expanded display was in use. I'd like to encourage the rapid inclusion of random mix support (a third page, in addition to "Library" and "Playlists", perhaps?). In addition, I think the option of toggling between the existing layout and one in which the Now Playing list is expanded (i.e. as multiple columns) would be a useful enhancement, especially when used with Random Mix and the expanded track display. -- dbls dbls's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=296 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Recording AlienBBC streams
I find that with MPlayer all you need is a command line like MPLAYER bbcurl -CACHE 128 -AO PCM:WAVEHEADER:FILE=filename.wav The capitals are fixed entries and can be typed in lower case. The bbcurl and output filename you supply yourself. You can then edit any rubbish from the WAV file and save in your favourite format. Note that this will only output to the file, you will not hear any audio on the PC. -- MrStan MrStan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1771 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30517 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Recording AlienBBC streams
Hi all, Following this thread I'd also like to be able to record whatever the squeezebox is currently playing, for example by hitting a magic button on the remote. The main reason is, of course, for recording live internet radio streams. A search hasn't provided the answer, does it exist? A link would be great.
