I have no immediate plans to do so as the system is working really well
for me at the moment...

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: HydraPlayer plugin: a SliMP3 emulator written in perl

2010-01-22 Thread torp

I've recently created a web page for the plugin I wrote called
HydraPlayer.  The site can be found here:

http://www.noid.net/hydraplayer/hydraplayer.html

Here's a brief description of what it does:

HydraPlayer is a SliMP3 emulator written in perl. The emulator can
function on its own (stand alone mode), but it's mostly useful when run
as a plugin within the SlimServer. When running in plugin mode, it can
spawn multiple emulator sessions, one per detected Squeezebox
controller. The players are synchronized with the controllers such that
the Squeezebox controller is used for media selection, volume control,
etc. and the player sessions are used to actually drive the speakers.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: HydraPlayer plugin: a SliMP3 emulator written in perl

2010-01-22 Thread torp

When I first started the project, I looked at the source code for the
slimp3slave player, and it looked pretty tiny and straight forward.  At
the time, SlimProtoLib was not ready yet, but I looked at the source and
it seemed to be both larger and more complex.  So I decided it would be
easier for me to implement SliMP3 rather than SB2 in perl...

As you noticed, with a tiny hack, the SlimServer will send FLAC to a
SliMP3 player, and since I did not have any real SliMP3 hardware that
would complain about that, I decided to go for it...

I have not looked into it recently, and it was not available back then,
but if there exists a perl module that wraps around SlimProtoLib (or
something), that would be a good way to go...
