For what it's worth, my own experience, when I started around 2 years ago developping for LMS and knew nothign about Perl either, the best is to start from a good example (e.g. Qobuz) and use a lot the source code of LMS, where there is also a lot of other plugins that are good examples. The Technical Information in the help page also has some helpful information, including on the Perl framework used for GUI. It was a difficult learning curve for me, especially when I did the YouTube porting to APIv3, but again, with the help of Michael, bpa and others, things worked out. My recommendation is to write small pieces in Perl, independently from LMS so that you can do unitary tests easily and don't go mad at stopping/restarting LMS all the time, especially when you'll have to deal with the Amazon API (maybe this is my own biais as I'm still making a lot of mistakes in Perl) Good luck!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Amazon Prime Music, plugin possible?
This is a very interesting thread - anyone pursuing Amazon music options? I have an extensive library given all the music I have bought. If I didn't have so much to do (ramping up new job etc) this would be just the project to bring out the programmer in me. And if nothing happens soon, a few questions - 1. Is there an LMS Developer Wiki where on can learn some basics? 2.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Amazon Prime Music, plugin possible?
I think the fact that it's now free to existing Prime subscribers makes it much more interesting. I suppose one could use a waveinput style plugin to access it on the PC, and then make it available via LMS, possibly? Would be nice to have direct access, though. cdmackay's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=24816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101705 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Amazon Prime Music, plugin possible?
I'd be interested too. I note that there is a Sonos plugin, so wonder if there is an API for it. menno's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11751 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101705 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

E.g., Prime Instant Video now works on all Android devices without requiring weird fiddling around. And they will provide APIs for the Echo (which, IMO, is a horrible product, but still).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Amazon Prime Music, plugin possible?
Agreed that the Prime selection (1 million songs) is somewhat limited ... for now. If Amazon has proven anything is that they will continue to add content to the service to drive Prime Membership. Now back to the OP comment. I don't see anyway to currently create an app unless it comes directly from Amazon. Without an API it isn't going to be possible. Given the life-cycle of the Squeezebox I wouldn't hold my breath. I have had some success using the web-based cloud player to send music playing on my PCChrome browser to my home stereo via Chromecast. I was looking to end the use of that device and receiver (I want to move the six hdmi ports of that Pioneer receiver to my video viewing area and place back in service my older Denon receiver with optical audio inputs). I currently am running Squeezebox on a Raspberry Pi and would love to add this service to the mix. If it doesn't come to pass I will stick with Pandora. anjenaire's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=46443 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101705 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I don't see any API from a quick search. Just throwing this out there as a possible new source of streaming music.
