pippin wrote: The problem here is that the alarms menu is not an iPeng menu, it's provided by the server and that's also where it is designed. I can't make it look the same way as other on/off toggles because the field is of a different type and the type is not an on/off state, but a text array. iPeng doesn't know when all alarms is on and when it's off, it just gets a text from the server to display and that happens to be on or off if the server language is set to English. There are other cases where there are three or more different states for that kind of field. I don't know why this is designed this way, other switches in Alarms are on/off toggles. The best indicator is the alarm symbol in the player list. Whenever your alarm is active, the bell icon will appear for that player, it does only show when it's really on and not when blocked by the all alarms setting. The alternative would probably to design an entirely new, iPeng-specific alarms menu but that would be a lot of work and there are a few other things that I would think have higher priority, after all, the alarms menu works. But as long as I use the existing one, I can't just change single items, I would have to replace the whole thing. Thanks for explaining the technical challenge. Would it be possible to simply make it red or a different color when it is in the off position? I usually just go right to the player drop down on my ipad before retiring and adjust the alarm time without thinking to look at anything else. I am now in the habit of trying to verify the alarms are in an nailed state but still get caught flat footed every so often. jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
I have what I feel to be a reasonable feature request. I've been using both iPhone and ipad versions of iPeng pretty much as soon as they became available for purchase. One of my key uses is for setting alarms on my Squeeze Radio. I have, quite a few times failed to notice that all alarms we're set to off... Since it is a light color and not the same on/off button toggle as pretty much everything else in iPeng. As a result have been late to work or other engagements on a few occasions. Any chance of making the toggle look like the others or at least make it more noticeable when set to off? jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
I have been having a problem now for a while with iPeng on both my iPad and iPhone. When I start the application everything seems to work fine. However if I run it again at a later time, and go into one of my squeeze devices, it starts to become unresponsive. For example, if I try to open the alarms settings for the device it will just sit with a spinning icon and never populate the alarm settings. If I kill and re-start the iPeng application it starts to respond normally again. I suppose this could somehow be a problem on the Squeezebox end, but I don't think so, as I am always able to go directly into the device itself and it is very responsive, alarm screen comes up immediately, etc. Any thoughts on this? I have a screenshot from the iPad of what it looks like when it is doing this if that would be helpful. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
I have both iPeng versions so I was able to activate the music playback service on my iPad after installing both versions to it. How sweet it is! I also had an initial problem with no audio during playback, but I just went in, reselected my iPad as the playback device and then it started to work. I also observed a bug, but the bug might be with SB Server and not with iPeng. This morning, my Squeezebox Radio alarm went off. This alarm plays a large playlist of about 2000 tracks. The alarm was going, meaning that my music was playing on the Radio unit, and a few songs had played (I had not yet reached over to kill the alarm or hit the back arrow button to switch it into regular play mode). I then fired up iPeng on the iPad and started playing back there. Within just a second or two after iPeng started audio playback the music on the SB Radio stopped and it started to play the default alarm sound that I get when the SB Server goes offline. I was then able to power the SB Radio down from iPeng, power it back up, and resume playback of the song with no issues, even though iPeng was still playing music on the iPad. Just thought it worth mentioning.

My phone is not jailbroken or I would use Screen Recorder to make a recording of it and demonstrate it directly. It's worth noting (though maybe not involved) that I have two alarms. Alarm 1 is set to go off M-T-W-T-F at 7:00AM for example and Alarm 2 is set to go off S-S at 9:00AM. If I add a 3rd alarm, then it is created properly with the default alarm time as long as I don't try to change the time while adding this new alarm. However, if I try to change the default alarm time while creating the alarm it will not set to the right time. Additionally the application will crash a good deal of the time while trying to change the alarm time. If I try to change the alarm time after creating the new alarm time, it also has the wrong time on it. For example I set it to 8AM and it sets to 11PM and/or the app crashes out.

It seems that somehow the pathing is okay. In the library file all of the paths are referred to as \volume1\music\ but yet somehow after configuring the WHS squeeze to point to this XML and to point to the actual directory the music is in it seems to be working since all of my iTunes playlists are now showing up and are working.

So now my Mac and the WHS have access to the same library data. The only source of confusion for me is whether the files the Mac uses and the files the WHS/Windows instances use are the same.

I've just kind of waded into this and am hoping I can get a pointer in the right direction. I have an OS X 10.6.1 iMac that I run iTunes on. I keep all of my track ratings in this iTunes database. iTunes is not managing my music, all music is located on a Windows Home Server through a network volume on the Mac. On the Windows Home Server I am running Squeezebox Server (latest version) and do NOT have iTunes integration turned on. Is there any way for me to get all of my track ratings out of my iTunes library and imported into Trackstat/Squeeze? Is there any way to reimport any changes I might make on the Squeeze side back into my iTunes database? If the answer to this is yes then how are conflicts resolved (I rated a track three stars in iTunes but rated it two stars in Trackstat)? Any help appreciated, I'd love to get this working. Another option, that I have toyed with is simply moving the iTunes database from the iMac onto the Windows Home Server in its entirety, and then having Squeeze use that iTunes database for everything.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] LastFM plugin crashing Squeezebox after upgrade
This is kind of weird, if anyone has any ideas let me know. I just re-loaded my fileserver from scratch with Fedora Core 5 and re-loaded Slimserver 6.2.2 and all of my Plugins. The LastFM scrobbler is working fine, all of my tracks submit, however the LastFM internet radio plugin (version 116) is doing some weird things. When I launch the LastFM Internet radio plugin by pressing play or selecting a station it will cause the SB to immediately reboot. After the reboot the SB starts to play the stream normally, but if I change the station or skip a track (or mark a track love/hate) it also will cause a player reboot. It almost sounds like I have the wrong version of the plugin, but as far as I know 116 is all I should be using if I'm on Slimserver 6.2.2. Any help appreciated, thanks, Jason. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23878 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

tfish77 Wrote: jmpage2, thanks for the super-helpful reference! I have a question: When I go to the last.fm radio page and type in a bunch of artist to create a custom station, how do I access that station via the SB? I copied the link from the play now button that appears and extracted this: artists/2152118,1164352,1017845,1002262,1000313,1158,1001592,1187,979,1177,352,1000113,1146220,1009868,1002994,2044884,6917178,5795,2247,5354 But there is no similarartists bit at the end. It seems to be playing my station, but I wonder if this is the right way to capture these custom stations in the SB? Thanks again.

James Wrote: No, discovery mode does work when not on a 'personal' station, which makes sense: Discovery = new music Personal = music you've already listened to, so there's no overlap. However it currently has the side effect of breaking the now playing information for a period of time. This is an issue with the LastFM servers, not the SlimServer plugin. James Ahh, ok then, thanks for the clarification.

Craig, James (IT) Wrote: Can confirm that I'm also getting this now - if I turn discovery mode on, on a channel which isn't personal or loved, and try to change to another channel which isn't personal or loved, then the SB appears to lose its connection to LastFM. It is, of course, LastFM's problem! Although you shouldn't lose the personal station when it happens, and it's even stranger that you keep the 'loved' station. Should both stay or go. I shall see if anything's wrong there. James NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender. Sender does not waive confidentiality or privilege, and use is prohibited. So the problem is that discovery doesn't work at all right now for any last.fm compatible players?

I've found a (potentially) new problem. If I enable discovery mode while listening to any last.fm station the squeezebox loses contact with last.fm completely and I have to turn the SB off and on again to resume any music listening.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: More Last.FM problems
You should have an option from the player menu under Internet Radio titled LastFM if you have BOTH the scrobbler and last.fm plugins loaded correctly. If you right arrow over on Last.FM and press play it should start playing your scrobbler feed. This assumes you've gone into the web page and populated your last.fm account information. If you right arrow TWICE from last.fm you will have some additional options such as the ability to play other radio stations. These other stations MUST BE FILLED IN BY YOU ON THE WEB RADIO FORM FOR LASTFM! Please describe EXACTLY what you have done and what is not working so we can help you fix the problem. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21151 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: More Last.FM problems
James, Thanks for all of the help, you've of course hit it on the head, I had the wrong version of the plugin. Being in the IT industry myself (network stuff) I'm not a complete idiot, so allow me to explain how this happened. When the official Last.FM site is visited it provides a direct link to the Audioscrobbler plugin for the Squeezebox but gives no mention whatsoever that without your Last.FM plugin for internet radio support all that will happen is your user data will be submitted to Last.FM. In my haste to get the proper plugin I did not check the version and hence the mistake. I would be happy to assist with documentation. I have three initial suggestions. 1. Kindly ask the SlimScrobbler people and/or the Last.FM folks to include a link to YOUR plugin and an explanation that BOTH plugins are needed to actually accomplish music playback with Last.FM service on the Squeezebox. 2. Include a readme file with every release of Last.FM that indicates what version it is intended for (I realize this is on the website, but I think it would help quite a bit). 3. In the same readme include some very basic documentation for setup of the application, including some sample radio stations, etc. I would be happy to assist with drafting something for you to include. Thanks again, now that the service is working I'm really happy with how your plugin works! -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21151 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

That link is for *slimscrobbler* the point being made is that there is no link for the actual *last.fm internet radio plugin*. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21151 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

As I indicated earlier, I'm totally hooked on running last.fm through the SB (became a last.fm paid subscriber within about an hour of having it all working) and I'm happy to do whatever in the way of user docs to help other users feel the joy. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21151 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Kyle Wrote: I've got last.fm up and running, but I'm a little confused about choosing music from the website and playing it through the SB. Also, it doesn't appear as though last.fm is seeing what I am playing unless I am playing a last.fm feed. Is it supposed to see the music from my own collection that I choose? Ah, a perfect opportunity to share the joy and explain how some of this works! OK, here's how it works. You need to put your user name and password in the slimscrobbler plugin (in the plugins section of your slimserver web interface), the slimscrobbler plugin will then automatically send information to Last.fm about what kind of music you have been playing on your squeezebox(s). At about two minutes into listening to a track it will transmit the info to last.fm website and update your user profile info with the data about the song. Then in the internet radio section under last.fm you define the stations you want to listen to with the squeezebox. You do NOT control the last.fm feed from your PC (at least not that I can figure out, all that happens if I run the pc client and SB at the same time is the SB gets confused and gets no audio output). For example, if you play the /slimscrobbler station then Last.FM will start playing music that is associated with tags for music you have been playing on your own squeezebox. If you want to build an artist station then you would populate it as such; /artist/Hooverphonic/similarartists Want a station for listening to rock? /globaltags/rock Or your own personal station that is defined from what you've listened to in the PC Client? /usr/your username Your favorite (loved) tracks that you have marked while listening (if you are a subscriber)? /usr/your username/loved Once you have music playing then if you arrow down in the Last.FM menu from the Squeezebox you will see the options to love/skip/ban songs or to change the station to any of the above. There is always an option to change the station to a new artist station based on the artist you are currently listening to. Hope this helps, and I hope someone captures some of this into whatever readme/FAQ/manual gets created for the plugin! :) -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21151 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Did you restart slimserver after putting scrobbler in?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] More Last.FM problems
Thanks for the help that I have recieved so far on getting Last.FM to work with Slimserver. I've gotten to the point where I can add stations into Last.FM under the options in the Slimserver internet radio web-page (honestly a little readme distributed with the Last.FM plugin itself would really help make this easier for folks to know what was going on and what the connection was between slimscrobbler and last.fm). Playing music with Last.FM works fine. My primary station that is set up is group/SlimScrobbler. I also have the following channels programmed; artist/artistname/similarartists user/jmpage2 When I try to navigate within Last.FM and select one of these other stations I get a message that says error connecting to LastFM!!Check your network settings. I don't understand this because all other network connectivity from the squeezebox seems to work just fine. Additionally I have found the following problem. If I navigate into the Last.FM menu and try to utilize the skip/love/ban functions it will cause Slimserver to crash out. Slim shows the following upon it's death; Undefined subroutine Slim::Utils::Misc::escape called at /usr/local/slimserver//Plugins/LastFM/Plugin.pm line 883. Can anyone help with this? I'm running the latest 6.2 nightly as well as the latest versions of Last.FM and Scrobbler on a Linux box. -- jmpage2 jmpage2's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21151 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
