Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: WaveInput for Linux
Since you are using a pipe to move data between shairplay and LMS - you are not using any of the Ubuntu audio subsystem so all talk of Alsa or Pulseaudio is irrelevant. The is is prtobably good since you have no audio hardware I suspect the audio subsystem may not be complete. Using a pipe also mean anything after wavin: is ignored - so just use wavin:default. To test that audio is streaming. 1. Stop LMS 2. Run shairplay 3. In a separate Terminal/Konsole window run ecasound -d -z:db -b:4096 -f:16,2,44100 -i /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/airplay-fifo.raw -o testaudio.wav 4. Look at output. Let it run for about 1 minute and then stop ecasound. 5. Play the audio file testaudio.wav and check it is what was being streamed. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49584 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Playlist - random songs from multiple artists?

I'm trying to build a dynamic playlist where it will just pull from a

I thought I could just click select multiple artists in the Only

that didn't work. I tried the random songs by artist, but I can't seem

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Erland's Plug-ins, Large Collections, and Hardware Requirements
Hi Erland, Got a new Touch and for me it's lacking some basic customization options. I would think of the following features, can your plugins provide them? a) Now Playing screen: - When it's displaying the 3 lines, I want to include the Track number in first line, before the Track title. (Because the top Now playing 2 of 9 is written in too small letters.) - Then I would include the year information at the album title line. - Then is it possible to change the letter sizes, or number of lines? b) My second wanted thing is to customize a bit the Browsing menus. - For example when I browse any menu, is it possible that Touch would display, at the end of a line, to show which line is the actual line out of the all in that level. In other words, instead to see right side scrollbar, to show where I am, in numbers instead of the scrollbar. This is because due to TFT display, is very depending on seeing angle and I usually don't see where I'm in the scroollbar. For better understanding: for example I browse Music Folders, then in a folder1 I have 100 albums, each in separate folder. Now when I browse folder1, and scrolling down with remote, at the end of the line, showing album folder, I would see 30(100) for example, showing that currently I'm at the 30th folder out of the 100 folder. - Another thing which I would see, when in same situation I scrolling down or up in that list, is there any scrolling effect? To show the lines actually* moving *down or up a bit? The reason of this request, because unfortunately the display width is quiet short, and it cannot display too long text at once. Hence, when I have a lot of same artist with a lot of albums, each in separate folder, then only see the beginning the folder name when scrolling, and if there are a lot with the name beginning, when I scroll down, I don't see anything changing on screen. So I would love to see line actually move up or down, instead of just immediately stepping one line down in all 3 lines. Hope I was clear :) - Then is it possible to change the browse menu size letters again, to customize? Maybe to make it a little bit smallers letters, to include more length of the string to display?

It's probably better to handle this in a separate thread if we need to discuss it further, but generally if you want a customized Now Playing screen your only option is to use the Custom Clock applet and configure it using the Custom Clock Helper plugin in a local LMS/SBS server on a computer. The LMS/SBS server is only needed during configuration, after this you don't need it. There are some sample styles here which other users have provided: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Custom_Clock_styles I'm personally using a style that combines artist images from LastFM with a VU meter and a line of text in the bottom of the screen which switches between artist name, album name and track title. The configuration is a bit geeky, but just start a thread in the 3rd party software section in the forum and start asking questions if you don't understand how to do it. The general principle is described in the Customization section of the Custom Clock documentation page: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Custom_Clock_applet batka wrote: b) My second wanted thing is to customize a bit the Browsing menus. - For example when I browse any menu, is it possible that Touch would display, at the end of a line, to show which line is the actual line out of the all in that level.

However, if you have access to a smartphone, I can strongly recommend to try to remote control the Touch using a smart phone remote instead of navigating directly on the touch screen, this is going to make this less of a problem. batka wrote: - Then is it possible to change the browse menu size letters again, to customize? Maybe to make it a little bit smallers letters, to include more length of the string to display? Is the problem the text size when you navigate using the touch screen or the text size when you navigate the screen using the IR remote ? If it's the IR remote control, you can switch which skin that's used when navigating the IR remote in Settings/Screen/Select Skin/Remote Skin If the problem is when navigating using the touch screen which already have smaller letters I don't think there is a solution available. It's definitely possible by patching the source code, but I don't think anyone has done it yet. There is a FatFinger Skin skin which can be installed through Patch Installer applet but that will make the text larger, not smaller. erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96124 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

-- PlaylistName:Bun Artists
-- PlaylistGroups:
select tracks.url from tracks
join contributor_track on
tracks.id=contributor_track.track
join contributors on
contributor_track.contributor=contributors.id
and contributor_track.role in (1,5)

dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
