 Hi all
 
 I need some real basic help.
 
 How do I start creating a plugin for the SqueezeBox Duet controller?
 
 I have read the WIKI and followed the details at:
 wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlay_Applet_Guide
 
 At the end it says to follow the link to this page:
 wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlay_Applets
 
 This page states Please note this page is out of date and will be
 updated for 7.3 which uses an alternative mechanism to download applets
 to the Squeezebox Controller.
 
 I am running 7.3.3 - so what gives - how do I do this? 
 
My recommendation would be to download Squeezeplay Desktop and look at
some existing applets. The information on the wiki with sample applets
tend to be out of date since no one takes the time to update it.


iisfaq;457456 Wrote: 
 
 And how to I publish to the SqueesePlay?
 
With Squeezeplay Desktop it's possible to select between several skins,
so you can use it to simulate the screen size of a Controller or if you
use Squeezeplay Desktop 7.4 you can also simulate a Touch or Radio.

During development it's easiest to use SqueezePlay desktop because then
you can put your applet files directly in the correct place in the
Squeezeplay Desktop installation and edit them in place and just restart
Squeezeplay Desktop to look at the changes.

I'm not sure how they are installed on Windows, but in my Linux
installation of Squeezeplay Desktop I have a share/jive/applets
directory that contains all applets. During development I just add my
own sub directory here with my own applet.

When you are releasing something which you want other people to use you
will need a repository XML file with and applets element with your
applet. The download address to this repository XML file is configured
in the Extension Downloader tab (or Plugins tab in 7.4) in
SqueezeCenter. You can look at my testing repository XML file for a
sample which contains the Information Screen applet:
http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml

iisfaq;457456 Wrote: 
 
 Also is there an IDE that people use to develop plugins?
 
 I can't think you write this stuff in notepad.exe and then install into
 squeezeplay and find it does not work and then go back to notepad and
 edit it manually!
 
 I see that there are IDE's for LUA - should I be using one of these? 
 
I'm using Linux so I use gedit which basically is notepad.exe with
syntax highlighting. For someone like me who normally works with modern
Java IDE's it feels very basic, so if there is something better I also
like to know.

You at least want something that's able to show the code with syntax
highlighting coloring. Everything is better is better than notepad.exe
so at least use a editor made for programmers, Notepad++ is one step in
the right direction.

I've tried some IDE's for perl development but I always got stuck
setting up all dependencies in the IDE project so I reverted back to a
simple editor. If there is something that works for lua development I
also like to know.

iisfaq;457456 Wrote: 
 
 I really just want to take an existing plugin and modify it - like a
 hello world. But I find that the WIKI is lacking and needs updating by
 someone who actually knows this stuff.
 
As I said above, it's best to look at one of the bundled applets.
Find one that's somewhat similar to what you like to do.

There are some sample applets bundled which even have a license that
allows direct copying, these are stored in the Test and Bounce
directories. 

All the other other applets currently have the Logitech Public Source
licensing that doesn't allow you to re-distribute your changes but
Logitech has said that they are going to make most of them free to
change and redistribute. I've personally decided that I'm probably fine
as long as I don't do anything that will decrease Logitech's earnings on
the Squeezebox hardware.

If you have questions, I think it's better to post in the Developers
sections since most developers read that section. 

Also, unless you are already aware of it, many things that are shown on
the Controller is actually implemented in perl in SqueezeCenter. So if
you just want to add a menu with some functionality behind it you might
want to write a perl plugin instead of a lua applet. However, it's hard
to say since we don't know what type of applet you like to do. 

iisfaq;457456 Wrote: 
 
 Is there a basic tutorial that explains what tools I need to use and
 the process to install and debug my scripts? I would have thought that
 the WIKI would have all of this.
 
I've no idea if it's possible to debug, I've so far just used the
logging mechanism. If you use Squeezeplay Desktop you can enable logging
on various levels.

Sorry if I'm sounding stupid (put it down to my age)., but i've lost the
iPlayer and I cannot find how to get it back.

Updated Mac to Snow Leopard and stupidly installed SC 7.4 (have you
seen how this changes the menus?). Have now installed SC 7.3.4 but
cannot remember how it install iPlayer again. Where do I download it
from for a Mac? 

Help much appreciated.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze / Snow Leopard

2009-09-13 Thread vhs

With my limited knowledge of the inner workings of OSx it seems that
both have the same permissions. My problem is that the WebUI of SC7.3.4
offers a category called Extras; clicking the Install button on SS3.7
results in a download of a .app whereas the same action for SS3.9b1
fails. The last time I installed 3.9b1 on SC7.2 it worked fine. Seems
strange and rather perplexing.

I am loath to remove all aspects of SqueezeCentre and start again since
the basic program is working well. However, could do this if it clears a
logjam. Bit of a pain redoing all the configuration settings again
though - is there a setting file or two that I should copy and
reinstall? Or would all that be a waste of time anyway?

None of this is, of course, vital in the great scheme of things but it
would be really good to get everything working smoothly again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze / Snow Leopard

2009-09-13 Thread bpa

The basic problem is that the webstart application cannot download the
jnlp file when it is presented as an URL.  This URL is found in another
html page which presents the checkboxes on the Squeezecenter Softsqueeze
page.

So the problem is odd that two files in the same directory, served by
the same http server - one file is served and other isn't.  Furthermore,
this setup works for most users on most OSs but doesn't on Snow Leopard.
That seems to point to a SNow Leopard setup issue.

The main difference between the two files is the jnlp file is served
with MIME type of application/x-java-jnlp-file - does your security
block this MIME type ?

 
 The last time I installed 3.9b1 on SC7.2 it worked fine.
 
Was this on Snow Leopard ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Softsqueeze / Snow Leopard

2009-09-13 Thread vhs

No, the previous installation of 3.9b1 was on Leopard not Snow Leopard
so probably irrelevant here.

I'm sure that you are right about the security problem but all I'm
using is inbuilt rather than specified by a firewall. I agree that it is
very strange that two near identical downloads work differently. Your
efforts are greatly appreciated and maybe someone else will chime in
with a lightbulb moment that explains how to overcome the issue.

To summarise the two quirks we've been discussing here:

1. A new install of the SoftSqueeze .app 3.9b1 won't download (listing
in past message) when activated from the web UI of SqueezeCenter 7.3.4
although SS 3.7 will do so without problem.

2. My old download of 3.9b1 is still on the Mac - it worked fine under
SC 7.2 but now won't run under SC 7.3.4 (listing in past message
above).

So, even if 1. worked, 2. probably wouldn't. I'm now on Snow Leopard
10.6.1 which is the update recently issued by Apple but still hasn't
fixed my issues. The Java version is SE6 as supplied with Snow Leopard.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Thinking of a weather screensafer for the DUET (later Radio+Touch)

cparker;457263 Wrote: 
 In my opinion this is to heavy, most datasets are only updated twice a
 day [...] 
thanks - his is a really helpful thought !

 Good luck with that, most of the API/RSS feeds only give limited data,
 so you either need to suck the data from the screen or find a good
 provider. Most of the plugins check www.weather.com [...] Be careful
 with copyright infringement
 

To be honest - the current way the other plugins are working
(screenscraping the website) is definitely a copyright infringement.
Just read the terms of usage on weather.com
(http://www.weather.com/common/home/legal.html?from=footer), 3B: You
may not modify, publish, transmit, display, participate in the transfer
or sale, create derivative works, or in any way exploit, any of the
content, in whole or in part 
This also includes the text, not only the images.

Weather.com even has an official API but you would have to register for
that, which none of the plugins do.
Not that I want to sue any of the other developers :)

Weatherbug on the other hand has official API, which is free to use for
personal use, as long as you name them
(http://weather.weatherbug.com/desktop-weather/api-terms-of-use.html). 
Didn't read to the end yet, but will do before going on, copyright is
alway a bit tricky I guess.

 
 So you can use any gfx you want and you arent limited to what the
 provider uses.
 
I'd be open to anyone contributing nice images ! Unfortunately I'm not
the best at drawing, so I think I'll stick with the images provided (at
least for the start)

 
 You need to plan for a lot of users using your plugin (even if you only
 have a few) and think about the case where 1000+ users are all pulling
 data from the provider and therefore what you can cache locally to
 ensure minimal impact to the provider.
I guess by using the API I'm putting less load on their server compared
to screenscraping the whole website ? But you are right - I'll put some
sort of image-caching on the todo-list - together with reducing the
update-frequency to say 1-2 hours.

Really appreciate your comments !
Next thing to come are some UI design studies ... now that the 7.4
SqueezePlay is out I even can start to think about the different
resolutions of Touch/Radio/Controller.

No, 7.2 wouldn't work on Snow Leopard and had to be replaced with 7.3.4
as documented in the SqueezeCenter forum. My initial post was therefore
correct, that SS 3.9b1 wouldn't work on 7.2 under Snow L but incorrect
since SC wasn't working either.

Weather.com came down on WeatherTime plugin developers and users a year

WeatherTime isn't infringing WU's copyright, unless the user gets into

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New WeatherTime Screensaver adds graphical forecasts

2009-09-13 Thread attenuator

I installed WeatherTime yesterday, and I'm very happy with it. However,
I noticed that the current temperature is nowhere near correct for my
area (I entered by UK city in the Wunderground city field).
Having called the Wunderground API URL that is being used by
WeatherTime to get the current temperature (in my browser), I found that
Wunderground is returning a seemingly random temperature - not from a
weather station near me at all.
I had a look at the Wunderground API, and it would appear that I can
use a different API call to get the data for a specific PWS (personal
weather station). When I do this, the XML data returned contains a much
more realistic current temperature.
I have therefore performed the following modifications to my install of
WeatherTime, and wondered if the community was interested in my changes
being added to the standard release.
- Added a field in settings to allow a PWS to be specified
- Changed $CURRENT_QUERY_URI to use
http://api.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXCurrentObXML.asp
- Changed format for current temp to display to 1 decimal place

Not that I've heard of. From what I've heard, BBs are the worst of the
current smart phones to program for. There is lots of work going on in
the community for a Squeezeplay port for Windows Mobile, and you have
iPeng for iPhone/iPod Touch. The BB browser is also particularly bad
from what I've heard.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)

2009-09-13 Thread boydd_uk

I've installed 0.9a via the extended plugins.  I'm using 7.3.3 on QNAS
box.  The problem I'm having is that everything is working but no
sound.

I'm not sure I want to disable AAC playback, because of my itunes

Any ideas?

If you are in the UK - then disable the AAC entries in WebUI
Settings/Advanced/Filetypes and BBCiPlayer is supposed to use the MP3
streams which will avoid the faad issue.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Scan does not read ID3v2.4; Bug?

2009-09-13 Thread wowo

I have been done some further investigation.

I have made a custom tag named OWNER in MP3tag and look what Custom
Scan would do.

1) OWNER Tag in ID3v2.3 format is scanned well and selected.
2) OWNER Tag in ID3v2.4 format is scanned well and selected.

The conclusion is Custom does read ID3v2.4 format *but!*:

An ORIGYEAR tag in ID3v2.3 format is scanned well and selected but an
ORIGYEAR tag in ID3v2.4 format is *not selected*.

I have tried different tagsnames to scan: ORIGINALYEAR, TDOR, %TDOR%,
%ID3:TDOR%, ID3:TDOR, but nothing happened.

I thought that the ORIGYEAR tag in ID3v2.3 format is the TORY frame
and
the ORIGYEAR tag in ID3v2.4 format is the TDOR frame.

Erland, if you have time, can you please look why the ORIGYEAR tag in
ID3v2.4 format is not selected?

I realy do not want to downgrade all my files to ID3v2.3, just because
the ORIGYEAR tag cannot be selected by if I use the ID3v2.4 format.

While both are sourced from data at the BBC ... the BBC sources do not
come from the indentical root source ... so there can be differences.

In theory, during Wednesday 16 the source that AlienBBC is using for
BBC local radio should be working better ... but with WMA rather than RA
as the content.

Can you give some specific examples.  

Is it a case of AlienBBC 
* showing more days 
* fewer or more programs on a specific days
* different programs for the same time slot compared to BBCiPlayer

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz processing sweeps

Hey
I'm trying to set up Inguz room correction using DRC to process the
sweeps.
So far I've managed to go around ImpulsePrep utility expiration date
(06/01/09) by setting the system's time before. Unfortunately  i'm still
unable to obtain room correction filters out of this...
Here what's DRC's log indicating before failing

Final allpass convolution...
Ringing truncation final windowing.
Counting target response definition file points: flat.txt
Target response definition file points: 0
Allocating target response arrays.
Reading target response definition file: flat.txt
Target response point file input failed.

Can anyone explain what i'm doing wrong?

 My recommendation would be to download Squeezeplay Desktop and look at

That for that - I have installed it.

 During development it's easiest to use SqueezePlay desktop because then
 you can put your applet files directly in the correct place in the

 Squeezeplay Desktop to look at the changes.

 I'm not sure how they are installed on Windows, but in my Linux
 installation of Squeezeplay Desktop I have a share/jive/applets
 directory that contains all applets. During development I just add my
 own sub directory here with my own applet.
 

On my windows machine it installed into 
C:\Program Files\SqueezePlay

And in that folder there is a \lua\applets folder with 35 folders with
names like Clock and Default Skin

 When you are releasing something which you want other people to use you
 will need a repository XML file with and applets element with your
 applet. The download address to this repository XML file is configured
 in the Extension Downloader tab (or Plugins tab in 7.4) in
 SqueezeCenter. You can look at my testing repository XML file for a
 sample which contains the Information Screen applet:
 http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml
 

I will do that thanks...
