I'm not sure what information you're retrieving beyond just track and album names, but I wrote a Python script that could retrieve all of my albums (currently about 550) over the 'Net in about 10 minutes or so. It used a combination of the 'albums' and 'titles' commands. I have no idea how long your app takes of course, but as I understand it the database 'sync' is a one-off operation.

Hi, In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Triode[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The plugin is intended for real Squeezebox2 and later players which can decode wma natively. If you install AlienBBC I suspect these streams will play for you as it will use mplayer to do the conversion. Yep, works fine on the SB2. Not too concerned about software players as if I really wanted to listen to it via a PC, then I could just turn in direct to the source. Shame the live streams are such poor quality though.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [PoC] 3D Album Browser (Windows)
Hi, In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], simbo[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, please give it a go if you're interested. I've attached some screenshots below. Please make sure you read the readme.txt file and peruse the config.ini file before starting it up, and let me know if you have any issues. Looks very interesting. Not sure how relevant my comment are as it's a Proof od Concept, but I had a number of crashes and error messages once I got it working. I suspect a lot of these are due to the way you request the album info? I set the limit to zero in the .ini file, and immediately got a huge error box that seemed to include a truncated CLI command response. I'd suggest you retrieve the albums (say) 10 at a time until you get them all to get around this. Also, while browsing through the albums, the title displayed was often incorrect for the artwork that was currently selected. Apart from that, a very interesting concept, and one that I'd definitely like to see taken further. The ability to retrieve a full library is obviously a good start, as is selecting between the players in a system. From then, adding in different browse options as others have said would definitely be a plus. I'd love to be able to run something like this 'full screen' on a laptop for selecting music, with the ability to build up a playlist and use the mouse to move tracks around. I was in the process of implementing a utility (in Python) to allow for the entire library to be printed out (after retrieving details via the CLI) so if there's anything I can help with in that regard I'd be happy to help. Look forward to seeing any future progress. Andy ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [PoC] 3D Album Browser (Windows)
Hi, In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], simbo[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree it needs to be more scaleable if it becomes a real project, and I think your approach is the best way to achieve that. In the meantime, you could try increasing the SocketDelay value (try 200+) in config.ini to see if that helps. If not, please could you PM me the error (just out of curiosity)? I'm not sure that SocketDelay would help, and to be honest I'm not too concerned just yet as it's obviously a quick Proof of Concept and not a final release. Not sure I could get the error, but given my knowledge of the CLI it looked like the remainder of a response asking for albums. I suspect you gave it a buffer, and the response was actually longer than that, which got your parsing code confused as it tried to process the result of the next 'read' from the socket. Could be related to above. I'll probably add some diagnostic stuff to root out these issues. Quite possibly. I think I dropped the album count down to something more sensible (200 if memory serves) so that I could have a play with the rest of the stuff without running into problems retrieving the album list. Full screen would be a necessity for the 10ft UI to work. I only disabled it in the PoC so I wouldn't have to code resizing and positioning procedures! :-) Understood! Thanks, I had a few issues with IP packet management via the CLI (which probably explains your first issue and is why the SocketDelay hack exists). If I develop this further I might come back to you to see what you did. No problem. Basically (if memory serves) you can tell the CLI commands how many results you want them to return, and at what 'offset' to start returning results from. I set this to something relatively small so that I didn't run into any issue with split responses. First of all, I did: info total albums ? to retrieve the number of albums in the system, then kept doing: albums 0 10 tags:lyjiqwa albums 10 10 tags:lyjiqwa albums 20 10 tags:lyjiqwa ... until I'd retrieved them all. Bet of luck, definitely interested to see how this progresses. Any chance of a PDA version? :D Andy ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

However, I've not tested that on any recent build so if you have trouble it might be difficult for me to test. It won't do any harm to try it, though - the worst that can happen is that you need to clear and rescan your library. I'm already using that I think. Doesn't it have a few 'odd' issues with generating duplicate tracks or something though? Have to say I'm using it quite happily, just wondered if the 'latest and greatest' was worth trying. I'm not quite ready to jump to 6.5 yet, would rather let it stabilise some before I try it.
