[SlimDevices: Plugins] New XM Plug-in: Question Comment
I just installed the new XM plug-in -- THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! It works great. However, I have one question/suggestion, and a comment: 1) I noticed that there is no little heart icon when you browse through your presets (for example), or when you tune a station. As a result, I'm not aware of any way to add XM stations to favorites. Is there? This would be a suggestion for the next version, but I'm wondering if there is a URL so-to-speak that I can use to add an XM station into favorites. 2) I would like to donate to the cause as an expression of gratitude for this plug-in -- but I don't see any Paypal link (say) in the google code page for the plug-in. Can you guys add one?

The good thing about the registry solution is that you can choose for the server to standby, hibernate or shut down, so apart from the timer features, it can replace SCPowerTool completely. -- mvordeme 'last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/mvordeme) | scaleo home server 2105 | squeezecenter 7.3.2 | server power control 7.3 | squeezebox boom duet | rotel rsp-1066 | rotel rmb-100 | phonar p-5 mvordeme's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22892 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
On my system the power control loop checks againsts a value set by the system state loop (srvPowerControl participates in defining the system state); If there is no value to be read by the control loop, or the value is not polled by the control loop between 2 updates of the state loop, something is wrong (since by design the control loop runs light and fast, and the state loop slow with low priority.) When no polling has occured, my system commands reboot (after a few reads, to be sure --e.g. take services startup order into account) I suggest having a marker saying the system state value has been read or written, optionnaly by whom. That can serve IHMO avoiding cases where one system waits on updates from the other, while in fact it is out of service. I'd be wary about using a timestamp, because of suspend/hibernate. A variable or boolean would do a more robust job. (this reflex of rebooting is just mine; a more lenient fallback policy will probably be better for most systems) -- epoch1970 epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Ok i've playing with this last night and wanted to code the following
into your plugin:
Let's start with the following:
Lights_Out checks the registry value HKLM\SOFTWARE\AxoNet Software
GmbH\LightsOut for the Value Action
possible value are:
0=do nothing (in this case do not shutdown if no clients (computers)
are active)
1=Standby,
2=Hibernate
3=Shutdown
I am now trying to execute
reg ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\AxoNet Software GmbH\LightsOut /v Action /t
REG_DWORD /d 0 /f..
This should be done inside your Watchdog
#$g{log}-debug(Checking to see if scanner is running if players
are idle..);
if ( Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Block::IsBlocked() ||
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Util::AnyPlayersPlaying() ||
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Util::AnyPlayersUpdating() ||
Slim::Music::Import-stillScanning() ) {
$g{log}-debug(Not idle condition..);
#Not idle...reset the timer to check again..
$nIdlePlayersTimeCount = 0;
Reg ADD HERE
return 0;
}
By doing this everytime a player is running LightsOut doesnt do
anything.
and further down i would add reg ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\AxoNet Software
GmbH\LightsOut /v Action /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
right here:
#restart the countdown for our eventual return from
suspend/hibernate/SN..
$nIdlePlayersTimeCount = 0;
HERE-
#cue up the requested action..
This returns LightsOut to its normal operation (in my case 2=hibernate)
when players are idle.
Thoughts on handling of alarms, Shutdown buttons etc.:
Since LightsOut is the main handler for all shutdown and wakeup action
on my Home Server i do not need the other options. I would never
shutdown the server using my squeezeboxen, i just shutdown my pcs and
stop playback - server goes to sleep. A simple checkbutton in the
config Use Lightsout Integration does it for me. All other options are
neither needed nor desired since they would interfere with normal
HomeServer operations. This includes the force to SN options since in
this environment there is always an active server if a client comes up.
The one exception is the Alarm function which i would leave the way it
works now.
Hope this made a little bit of sense, now i'll try to check if i can
add this to your code. It's been a while since i last programmed and
that was Java but well let's see.

If we were to go with just the is idle message via the registry, that should avoid the sort of system deadlock as you describe. Presumably, LightsOut has the responsibility of clearing the is idle flag. Strange brew, it is. Using watchdog is very simple on an always-on system. I had it running in a few minutes in the last Alix mini-server it did setup. On a system that is under power management and does suspend/resume, using it is a nightmare. But it works, in the end. On a system like this, I have 3 loops running : - the slow and bright (?) one: the status assessment loop; It is a Loop method instance of Net::Daemon. Runs, says, every 5 minutes, looks at a lot of things (AFP, NFS, SB clients, SC7, ...) and comes back with a status (keep alive, shutdown, reboot, sleep). - a faster one: listening on a TCP port for a connexion, and replying the current status. It is a Run instance of Net::Daemon (in the same code as the one above). It tries to respond very fast at any time. It serves the last know status, which may be soon obsolete if the Loop instance is near finishing a new assessment. Normally it shouldn't do anything but respond, but there are things better done at the last minute, so this loop will for example write to the RTC if the status is suspend. Runs whenever it is being called... - ... by the linux client-side watchdog program. Configured to run with RT priority, say, every 30 secs. The watchdog is C code, it does a lot of smart things and polls a device, probably /dev/watchdog. If /dev/watchdog is not being written to timely, the OS reboots. If the client-side can't write to /dev/watchdog, it reboots the machine itself (not calling shutdown, it's all coded in the client. In fact it can also sit and wait, depends on your configuration for the client.) The watchdog also launches a helper test program; this program in my case is a light perl script that connects to the Net::Daemon instance and executes the required action according to its response. If it times out, the watchdog client will reboot the machine. This is why within the assessment loop isn't queried directly. The required action is launched in another process, with a slight delay to allow the test script to return before the system is suspended. Now enters ACPI wake-up. Who wants to use a watchdog on a non 24/7 system ? Well, me. Kernel-wise, I had pretty inconsistent results according to my use of the Intel ITCO hardware watchdog (I think you'll find this hidden gem in any ICH7 chip and up), or of the softdog module, linuxes software watchdog: in some cases I had to unload the module before sleep, and reload it as part of wake-up, in other cases doing so rebooted the machine (only removing a watchdog module configured with nowayout=1 should cause the kernel to reboot, but that is the theory, not my practice.) Ok, with a bit of testing, modular or inlined in the kernel, soft or hard (if available, of course), nowayout or yeswayout... you'll get an OS that will reboot when it's stuck, but won't reboot at wake up. (Unfortunately the ACPI wake process is not subject to the watchdog, so you can still freeze at wake-up, and not reboot. That is a severe limitation, considering this is probably the only moment the watchdog would be truly useful.) Now, at wake-up, the watchdog client wakes up too, and it's grumpy. First of all if the external test script which ran the sleep action failed to return before the system was actually suspended, then watchdog will believe there was a (long) timeout, and reboot. Hence the delay+other job used in the external test script. You can't fool the watchdog client like this. At wake-up, because some time has lapsed in real life between its last run, it will compute that the current load is enormous, and want to trigger reboot. It will also notice that a lot of time has passed without any traffic on the network interfaces, or that the interfaces are down (i.e. not up again already), and want to tigger reboot. Fortunately, before rebooting the watchdog can be configured to launch a repair script. Same as the test script, it has to return fairly quickly. But it can be used to defuse those false alarms caused by wake-up. My repair script looks at a flag that is set as part of the pm-suspend script, at ACPI wake-up time. If that flag was recently touched, then this is a false alarm, and the test script blocks the reboot. Otherwise it lets go and the machine reboots. I might add I have a reboot counter in /etc/init, so that

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Browse - using Disc as a separator
It should be possible but it will require some special handling. The problematic part is that I'm guessing that you only want the disc level if the album have multiple discs ? One requirement is that you have enabled the SqueezeCenter setting: Thread multi-disc sets as a single album. Without this setting, you will get duplicate album entries. You will need duplicate menu elements that lists track, one should look as the default one but have a filter to only show tracks if there are a single disk. The other one should list disks but only if there are multiple disks and it should have a sub menu element that lists tracks on the disk selected. The duplicate menu elements is somewhat similar to how the various artists handling works in the artists menu. I don't have the time to give you an exact XML at the moment, but if you get it to work partly and post what you have done it's a bit easier to help. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/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=64113 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
dirty, but well let's leave room for improvements :-)
changed Watchdog.pm:
add the following at the beginning:
use Win32::TieRegistry;
and the modify the following:
sub IdleWatchdog {
my $nCurTime;
my $item;
my @clients;
my $curclient;
my $action;
my $nTimeDelay;
my $key;
#$g{log}-debug(Checking to see if scanner is running if players

if ( Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Block::IsBlocked() ||
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Util::AnyPlayersPlaying() ||
Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Util::AnyPlayersUpdating() ||
Slim::Music::Import-stillScanning() ) {
$g{log}-debug(Not idle condition..);
#Not idle...reset the timer to check again..
$Registry-Delimiter(/);
$key=$Registry-{LMachine/SOFTWARE/AxoNet Software

$key-{/Action} = [ pack(L,0), REG_DWORD ];
undef $key;
return 0;
}
#We're idle..increment the idle count..
#$g{log}-debug(Players are idle..);
$nIdlePlayersTimeCount++;
$Registry-Delimiter(/);
$key=$Registry-{LMachine/SOFTWARE/AxoNet Software GmbH/LightsOut/};
$key-{/Action} = [ pack(L,2), REG_DWORD ];
undef $key;
It's all done in perl. no external scripts etc. Works for me at the
moment.
possible improvements:
seperate from SvrPowerControl and do simple interface with LO plugin.
This would only include watchdog (as implemented here or in Prevent
Windows Shutdown Plugin) and registry modification according to idle
status.
offer selection for standby / hibernate / in plugin config. would be as
easy as exchanging 1,2,3 literally ;-)
Integrate in SvrPowerControl to automatically include registry
modifications if process LightsOutService.exe is running - absolutely
no configuration necessary. Here we would have to check the acutal value
set in the LO Plugin (registry key) before altering it to 0 to prevent
shutdown. If it's been saved somewhere we can reset it in idle condition
to whatever it was before. That would be my prefered way. Maybe i'll try
something like this next week. For now I'm pretty happy with what we've
got so far.
