Many thanks morberg for the fix for OSX!  I had given up on Spicefly
since my move to OSX from linux.  With the modification to "if ($os eq
'unix' || $os eq 'mac') {" in the Plugin.pm file I can now get things
going again and enjoy the (sometimes strange) journeys this plots out.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Album Review on Controller and OS X

2009-04-30 Thread davep

I am running SC 7.4.0 on Mac OS X and using a Controller to interface my
Transporter, all of which works just fine.  The only really outstanding
issue for me at this point is that the Album Review plugin does not seem
to behave properly.   I get a display on the Controller with the correct
album title and a list of two or three (sometimes many more)
alternatives which match the title to choose from.  However, at this
point, the Controller does not respond to vertical scrolling commands
from the scrollwheel, but just sits there refusing to allow selection of
one of the listed albums for highlighting and reading the review.

Is there anything I have missed?

Yes, it appears to be a list where a single unique choice is not
available.

No, not all - where there is a single result the display goes
immediately to the detailed review for that album.

Agreed - but it is the inability to navigate these lists which is the
problem for me.

I get the same list of alternatives in the left pane with each title
being clickable.  Clicking on one of the listed titles takes you to a
separate All Music window containing the relevant review.

Michael, I think that part of the problem is that I probably have a
high proportion of "obscure" albums in my collection, mostly jazz from
the 1960s and 1970s which do not have allmusic reviews and hence return
a list of 'close matches' in Album Review.  However a good example of an
album which gives me trouble but does have a review is Mingus's 'Blues &
Roots".  Using the Album Review plugin on this produces a list of two
entries - the original album and the Japanese re-issue.  On the allmusic
website the reviews for each of these are identical but each has a
unique cover shot picture since the covers were different for the two
releases, and I think perhaps the track listing for the alternate takes
may also differ.  In any case allmusic chooses to present this as two
entries and hence I get a list of two on the Controller, neither of
which I can actually select to read since scrolling doesn't work.

As another example, clicking on Cream's Albert Hall 2005 set gets me 4
or 5 listings, including one for the DVD.

Having said that, when it does work - and this is the case with the
majority of the searches I do -  it works well and is a valuable
addition to the overall usefulness of the Controller as an aid to a good
listening session.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] In Praise of Sugarcube

2009-04-30 Thread davep

I just wanted to mention for those who have gone the MusicIP route and
put in the time to scan and fingerprint their collection that I am
finding the Sugarcube plugin to be an absolutely excellent method of
listening to your collection in a 'random but structured' way.

Thinking of one track you want to hear and hitting play starts you off
on a usually interesting trawl through your music, turning up tracks
that work but that you would never have thought to play yourself.  I
find I have quite a few albums that I don't actually know that well and
certainly not well enough to be able to pick a title and say "that's the
sort of thing I want to hear", and as a result these are the albums that
almost never get tracks payed during a normal listening session.

Sugarcube overcomes that by continually adding one more track to the
end of your now playing list as each song finishes.  This means that you
are constantly in the dark about what is coming up after the next track
and thus provides an element of (usually pleasant) surprise.

This is now my dominant method of listening.  Highly recommended.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] A new AlienBBC 2.6b1 beta for testing.

2009-07-20 Thread davep

Have been trying this on 7.3.3 under Mac OS X 10.5 and on both WMA and
Real I get a timeout with the message "Couldn't resolve IP address for
www.bbc.co.uk" and no sound.  Previous versions of Alienbbc have worked
fine for me on this setup.

I also notice that suddenly my other radio menu options such as 'Local'
and 'World' have disappeared and I am left with only Alienbbc and Lastfm
as menu items under the top level Internet Radio menu.  Possibly
coincidence but possibly not.

Any thoughts?

Using the fishbone skin will get you the album cover (thumbnail size) in

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Plugin to Remove Played Song From Playlist

2007-01-28 Thread davep

John,
not quite sure what you are trying to do here.  A Playlist is just that
- a list of songs lined up to be played.  Once one has been played, and
assuming you set the SB repeat feature to "Repeat Off", it is just
history and will not play again. You can add and subtract songs to the
yet to be played part of the list, but I can't see why you would want
to remove one that has played already.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Plugin to Remove Played Song From Playlist

2007-01-29 Thread davep

Well, I never knew that before!  I never actually invoke the mode you
described but I just ran a little test of 3 songs on a playlist with
shuffle turned on.  After playing the first track and going into the
second I added a 4th track and lo and behold the list reshuffled and
the already played first track came up as the 3rd (i.e. next) track.

It would appear that unless shuffle is turned off this is bound to
happen and I agree that it would be quite annoying if you were adding
new tracks and kept getting repeats of those you had already heard.

No idea how to fix it other than not using shuffle in which case tracks
will get played in the order they are added - which may or may not be
acceptable.  Otherwise I see erland suggested that a suitable plugin
might be possible, but I'd have to leave that to him...

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: slimfx - Flash-based Skin / Control App

2007-02-04 Thread davep

This looks excellent so far and may have the potential to be the
interface that satisfies the "why isn't slimserver just like iTunes?"
people. The drag and drop for playlists alone is worth it.

One question - your screenshots show the now playing list having cover
art thumbnails associated with each track.  I am wondering what
circumstances are required to see this - my all flac library with
'cover.jpg' in each album folder generates no thumbnails here.  Is it
only possible with embedded cover art?

Not for me, I'm afraid.  That button is useful as it expands the simple

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: slimfx - Flash-based Skin / Control App

2007-02-13 Thread davep

gsama, will it be possible to make the http port user-configurable in
the next version?  I have changed my setting in SlimServer from the
default 9000 to avoid a corporate firewall blocking issue.  It seems
that the value of 9000 is hard-coded into the Slimfx flash routines and
as a result I get full functionality except visible cover artwork.  If I
switch the port back to 9000 in the server the thumbnails are there.

The ability to set this by the user would be a great help for this -
but of course it might be only me that needs this...

Once again, thanks for an excellent interface.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] POLL for AlienBBC listeners with Ubuntu Dapper

2007-02-18 Thread davep

My answer is #4, but I got the stopping at 4'15" effect after my upgrade
from dapper as the repository for edgy still seemed to have only mplayer
1.07.  My solution was to do 'apt-get update', and 'apt-get install
mplayer' in a terminal which got me a copy of 1.08.  After that the
problem went away.

Not sure if this would work with the standard dapper repositories but
might be worth a shot.

Classic FM ought to be in the standard menu setup of AlienBBC.  If you
go up in the top level of its menu (where Radio 1 is the starting
point), a couple of steps up should take you to GWR Stations.  Go right
into this menu list and scroll down - you should find Classic FM in
there.

When you have the desired station playing, select the "Now Playing"
screen on the SB (use the button on the remote), then go Right and 
scroll Down until you get the option to 'Add to Favorites', at which
point going Right again will save the station as one your numbrered

the appropriate number key and it will start.  This even works when the

Well I feel I must come to the defence of MIP here since, like Michael,
I have run it with almost no issues for more that 2 years, through
several versions of MIP and multiple iterations of SS (and now SC).  I
have run it on Windows, on Linux, both headless and with the GUI and,
although it is not exactly trivial to get it set up, it runs very
reliably.

In my experience it works exactly as advertised. Of course YMMV and I'm
sure you've had major frustrations with it to get you to this point and
you have my sympathy for that.  Not sure if I can help you resolve it
since I am now full time on ubuntu but I can try.

You absolutely have to start MIP before SC, otherwise it just doesn't
work.  And the port used by the API has to match that set in the SC
settings page.  Other than that - and making sure you do a full clear
and rescan the first time you set this up - there isn't much you can
really tweak.

Can you get mixes to work from the SB player? Just push and hold the
Play button on your selected seed track and you should see a message
about MIP mixing... and you then get your playlist presented ready to
play.  Note that it will not start playing automatically but needs a
further normal press of Play once the list is generated.

You will need a "real" ip address for your laptop, one that exists on
the internet outside of your local home network. You actually do have
that if you are connected to the net via an ISP.  Try opening 
http://whatismyipaddress.com/ which should show you the ip address of
your router as seen by the internet. This is the address you need to
put into softsqueeze on the remote machine.

Then you need to go into your router's configuration screen and set up
port forwarding for 9000 and 3483 to the local ip address of your
laptop.  This is the address you see if you run 'ipconfig' in a
terminal (Windows) or 'ifconfig' (Linux and OSX).

If you have a firewall on your laptop you will need to open up ports
9000 and 3483 to allow the traffic between Softsqueeze and Slimserver.
Be aware that this is not a secure setup and anybody who can get hold
of your internet ip address can get into your laptop and control
Slimserver themselves. To prevent this it is best to use SSH tunneling
- Softsqueeze actually has SSH client capabilities built right in so
you just need to set up the SSH server on your laptop. Linux and OSX
can use OpenSSH; on Windows I have had success with WINSSHD
(http://www.bitvise.com/winsshd).

You do not need to run Slimserver on the remote machine, just
Softsqueeze.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Help with Using Softsqueeze Remotely

2008-01-13 Thread davep

I assumed from your first mail when you said "I am running Slimserver on
my laptop and have been able to access the music at home by attaching
via my home IP address xx.xx.xx.xx:9000. I can see all my music folder
so I know this part is working." that this meant that you had a laptop
as your server, since you don't run Slimserver on the client machine,
just a browser (and Softsqueeze if you want a player).

To be clear, you need to open up ports on the home computer you are
using as a server, not on the remote machine. You then connect to the
"outside world" ip address of the home router and forward the ports
from there to the local ip address of the server machine.

Looks like you are getting there.  My own office experience was similar
-couldn't get music to actually play - until I guessed that the
proxy/firewall/whatever set-up used by the company was blocking  port
9000.  If you go into the Slimserver setup pages on your home machine
you can find somewhere (I can't look now and in any case I am on SC7
which has a quite different setup pages layout) a place to change the
port assigned for communications from 9000 to something else.  I
suggest you try this and see if changing this setting helps.  You will
of course have to change it in the browser on the remote machine and in
Slimserver to match.

Not sure of the reason but the way around it is to go Right on the song
in the Now Playing screen to get to the track details, scroll down to
the Album and then right again to get the song list.  In this screen
the songs should have the M symbol.  Somewhat of a clumsy process but
it works.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AudioReview and Biography for new remote controls ?

2008-02-25 Thread davep

I just wanted to say thanks to you two guys for this outstanding piece
of work.  Being able to bring up the album review for the now playing
music and read it on a large bright, clear (and rotatable) display is a
great addition to what has already become a pretty sophisticated remote
- especially as all of this control and functionality has basically
been done with html! I can only guess at how much better this could get
if the Apple SDK delivers the necessary access to the OS.

This could seriously challenge the Controller in my opinion.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicInfoSCR on Boom - Not getting far..

2008-12-25 Thread davep

First of all the obvious - the checkbox next to the plugin name on the
Plugins tab is ticked?

Otherwise I suggest you try going the new automated way, using
Extension Downloader.  Still slightly unintuitive to my mind, but does
a good job of managing plugins.

Go the the Advanced tab on the SC Settings page and then look in the
drop down list for Extension Downloader.  In the Additional
Repositories box at the top cut and paste this url
http://www.herger.net/slim-plugins/repo.xml and then click on Apply at
the bottom of the page.  You then need to restart SC to get it to see
the new repo.  When you next open the same Advanced|Extension
Downloader page you should see then MIS plugin ready for selection.  I
think you then need to do a further restart to get it activate and then
off you go.  If your original MIS install was actually there you may see
a message about needing to remove it first.  If so go to the directory
where you had put the MIS folder and blow it away and then do the auto
install as above.

Try going to the Home SC page, scroll down to the Internet Radio

Just did my weekly update of the 6.2 beta installed on Mandrake 10.2 and
find that Alien BBC will consistently crash slimserver when selecting a
station to play.  The crash is near instantaneous and so far I have not
got anything to show up in the log using debug switches for plugins and

Nightly is 09-09 and version info shows 6.2b1 - 4218 - Linux.

Alien BBC has been extremely stable on this machine for months prior to

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: AlienBBC v1.01 BETA

2006-02-03 Thread davep

I am running Ubuntu and have had a working version of 6.5b1 running with
a functioning Alien 1.0 for the past month or so.  However I was tempted
by the release of the official Slimserver Debian package and the promise
that I could update regularly as I used to do when running  Mandrake and
using nightly rpms.  Since the new install wiped out my Alien I thought
I would use this opportunity to install the latest 1.01 beta.  However,
something has got lost in the shuffle as I cannot get any of the rtsp
settings in 'file types' to stick but get the following message:

Required binary was not found: [mplayer.sh] -really-quiet -vc null -vo
null -bandwidth 1000 -cache 128 -af

pcm:nowaveheader:file=/dev/fd/3 $FILE$ 

This looks like a path/permissions issue but I have drawn a blank
trying to nail it down.  The mplayer.sh file is in
/usr/share/slimserver/Bin/ and has 777 permissions. mplayer itself has
not been touched.  My suspicion is that it is related to the fact that
the location of slimserver has changed as aresult of the new install
from /usr/local to usr/share

I have run "mplayer
rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra"
from within a shell and get live BBC streaming audio, so I assume that
my mplayer is not broken.

Any suggestions?

That nailed it.  Triode's analysis was right - it was mplayer.sh being

Patrick,
My permissions on the folder and the mplayer.sh are almost identical to
yours - 775 on the /Bin folder and 777 on the .sh, and all owned by
slimserver.  One thing that I am suspecting as part of the problem is
the fact that the debian install now seems to put most things into
/usr/share/slimserver whereas under all my prevous installs (automated
rpms and manual ubuntu) things had been in /usr/local/slimserver. 

So far it seems to have had no other impact on the set up, but I am
curious as to why the change.

first of all many thanks for the great work so far on SlimRemote which
looks like it might be a really useful alternative to the web
interface.  I have run this on both a windows XP box and Debian Linux
(using the ewe launcher) but in both cases I get no cover images

My cover images are all called 'cover.jpg' and each stored in the

Yes, they show fine in the web interface (fishbone and Nokia 770) in
both 'Browse Artwork' and 'Now Playing' modes.  File size varies
somewhat - most are grabbed from Amazon - but typically seem to be
between about 5k and 30k.  As I said before they are all called exactly
the same thing - 'cover.jpg' - but each one sits in the lowest level
directory in a heirachy which goes Genre/Artist/Album/

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: SlimRemote 0.5

2006-03-23 Thread davep

Michael,
Thanks for that - it did identify the problem as one of the
possibilities I had suspected, the port used for the http
communications.  I do not use the standard 9000 but another 9xxx port. 
Although threre is a place to set the http port in the SlimRemote
settings dialog this does not seem to have the necessary effect since
the output from running your debug version shows it is still calling
9000.  When I reset my server to use 9000 the album art comes up just
fine in SlimRemote.

I guess that the 9000 is somehow hardwired in the code.  Would it be
possible to look at making the value in the Settings dialog get picked
up correctly and used?

Thanks for the help,

2006-03-24 Thread davep

Michael,
This seems to half work.  The http port entry accepts my non-standard
value and then and I get the small sized artwork in the "Music" view. 
However in the "Status" view, where there should be the larger image, I
still get the question mark graphic.  

Looking at the console window from which I launched ewe I see repeated
instances of the following:

ewe.io.IOException: Connection refused
at
ewe.io.BasicStreamObject.getException(BasicStreamObject.java)at
ewe.net.Socket.doConnect(Socket.java)
at ewe.net.socketConnector.doRun(Socket.java)
at ewe.sys.TaskObject.run(TaskObject.java)
at ewe.sys.mThread.run(mThread.java)

Not sure if this helps you nail this one.


Also, having exited ewe and restarted I see that the http port
assignment is not really sticky in that it resets to 9000 if you start
a new session.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: [Announce] SlimRemote 0.6 - now featuringInternet radio support

2006-04-02 Thread davep

Michael,
you may recall that I was the difficult guy who wanted to run
SlimRemote on a system with a non-standard 9xxx html port.  Your
version 0.6 fixes the problem with seeing artwork just fine - thanks.

However, when I run the program under ewe on Ubuntu Linux I am seeing
excessive CPU usage - about 25 to 30% of resources for each instance of
SlimRemote running.  I would like to run 3 copies - one for each of my 3
SBs as I find this fits nicely on screen in three side-by-side panels,
enabling easy control of the three boxes without the switching needed
under the browser interface.  But this basically maxes out the resource
loading at close to 100% - not a desirable state obviously.

Is this a problem with my setup or is there something about the ewe
install that I need to be aware of that can cause this?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: [Announce] SlimRemote 0.7

2006-04-14 Thread davep

OK, tried 0.71 and it does indeed report "There is no player connected
to your Slimserver" but there are actually no less than 4 of them
active on my system, one of them playing at the time. Pressing Yes to
try again just repeats the message and No exits.  Same for the java and
the ewe.

Running 6.5b1 on Linux (ubuntu).

Michael,
that did the trick, the ewe is working fine now. Thanks for all your
efforts on this excellent alternative to the web browser.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: [Announce] SlimRemote 0.7

2006-04-22 Thread davep

Michael,
I had not previously looked at the search facility in SlimRemote but
having just done so I'm not sure if it is not working or I am
misunderstanding its function.

I select "Songs"from the drop down list and am prompted to 'enter at
least 2 characters'. Putting in a few characters and hitting enter then
quickly - and as far as I can see, correctly - generates a list of
songs.  The trouble is that it doesn't seem like you can then do
anything with this list. Clicking on the listed songs appears to do
nothing, as they are "dead" items.

Any ideas?

Michael,
nothing works with the search results list, the individual song titles
are completely dead with no response to right or left mouse clicks. 
This applies in the java and ewe versions. Version is 0.71, revision
182.

Michael,
sorry for the delay in testing this, I've been on the road.  The
bracket fix works and I now have full responsiveness from the search
results list.  The great thing about this is just how fast the
searching is compared to doing it via the web interface.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Getting MusicIP/MusicMatch to work with slimserver

2006-05-24 Thread davep

Ben,
I think you need a MusicIP reg number in order to activate the API
option.  I know that MusicIP have been messing around recently with
what is in the free and paid for versions and I am not sure what the
requirements are now to get the reg number, but I believe you can
request a trial account without any need to pay anything, at least for
30 days.  Should be a link on their website somewhere though this is
not the easiest site to navigate I find.

Having said that, I do have a lifetime account myself and have had
several goes at using MusicIP in the past year or so but always give it
up when I find it messes with my system too much.  I am running Linux
(ubuntu) and find it just a little too unpolished.  Great idea when it
works though.

Take a look at the MusicInfoScr plugin on Michael Herger's site:
http://www.herger.net/slim-plugins/

This enables you to configure the Now Playing info in lots of ways,
including showing the current time.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: Custom Browse plugin

2006-09-06 Thread davep

On my version which I grabbed from the website the Browse -> Artists
menu item actually reads "Arists".  I didn't notice it the first few
times I flicked through because the brain _knows_ it says Artists.

Nice plugin by the way.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: [Announce] MusicInfoSCR 2.99

2006-09-28 Thread davep

Michael,
not sure if I've missed something among the many options and settings
for the new version but is there any way to have the two displays on
the Transporter set to different size fonts? Cycling the Size button
changes both displays in tandem for me.

I suspect that this is not going to be possible but it would be neat to
be able to have, say, the song title in a single large size line on the
left whilst seeing two lines on the right with perhaps Album and Artist
one above the other.

Michael, you are amazing.  No sooner do I have an idle request for some
obscure preference for screen displays than you (with help from Triode)
magic it up and release an update.

This is exactly what I wanted - and just in time for my Transporter
arriving today.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: LazySearch and MusicMagic

2006-10-25 Thread davep

I imagine this is becasue LS has to build its own track index for use in
executing searches.  It is either difficult or perhaps not possible to
link this with the MM data.  I get exactly the same result on my
system.  Hadn't noticed it before as I had never actually tried to do a
MM mix off of a LS result.

The Stan James one works for me with this URL:
http://audio.teamtalk.com/StanJamesCricket?MSWMExt=.asf Copy and paste
it into the Internet Radio box on the Help page and it should start
streaming. On your SB save it as a favourite and then you can grab it
