Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
Kuben, I have ironed all the problems now and Other Players is working fine. I just forgot to Apply the changes I made in SBS Settings when deleting the GrabPlaylist plug-in, so I am all good. One other question on Other Players: when I have sent or grabbed a playlist between two players, they seem to be effectively synced. Even changing between MySqueezbox.com and SBS on one player causes a like behavior in the other player, even turning the other one on if needed. If I select Sync the other player, how do I undo this action? I do not see how to UnSync the two players to make them completely independent, if only intermittently. There seems to be no option to Unsync the two in the OtherPlayers menu, after Syncing them. Does Grabbing a playlist from another player cause a syncing ? It sure seems to with my two players. Thanks again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
That's good. No. Grabbing or sending a playlist from or to another player does not automatically sync them. The syncing and unsyncing of two players happens by choosing the syncing option in the Other Player-menu for the player. Its a menu that toggles. If you grab a playlist can you see in SBS that the two players are synced? -- Kuben72 /Kuben72 2 Duet, 1 Receiver, 1 SB3 and 1 Boom Kuben72's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15308 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57617 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
Kuben, thanks for clearing this up. I see in the settings that the two players had somehow been set to sync--not how sure how that setting changed. I see now how the toggle works in OtherPlayers for syncing, and no, merely grabbing a playlist does not trigger a syncing now. This must have been a settings miscue.

Thanks, Kuben! It works fine now. btw, is there any reason now to keep Grab Playlist in Extras? I am not able to disable it --tried unchecking this plugin in Settings, and restarting SBS, but this Grab keeps reappearing, as a checked and active plugin. I don't want the Grab persistently syncing the playlists. OtherPlayers seems to incorporate Grab, with so much much choice and features. Great plugin-so glad I discovered it!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
I am a newbie with Squeeze and have trouble installing this Other Player plug-in, using my Mac OS 10.5.8 (and SBS 7.5.3). After downloading the plug-in zip folder, I clicked on the installer.xml file, but nothing happened. I'm sure I'm missing something basic--sorry if this has been explained elsewhere. Does this plug-in work with Mac? Also curious why this powerful and widely hailed plug-in doesn't appear in the third-party plug-ins menu for the SBS for a simple update (like the Grab Playlist), instead of having to manually install?

I have just started using OtherPlayers and also find it invaluable. Thanks for all your work on it. The new functionality being discussed sounds perfect.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
I agree you have to stick with Synchronize for consistency. Although it may not be the most intuitive, given that Sync/Unsync are already defined functions in SqueezeCenter, I think it would be bad form (and only increase the level of confusion) for a plug-in to use an alternate term/phrase for something that is already defined as a known user function in the core application. I think any discussion of proposing an alternative to the use of Synchronize is beyond the scope of this plug-in and would need to apply across the entire application for consistency. -- mikes mikes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2427 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57617 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Mikes is right. We can't change that term without the entire SC does it. Too bad. I really don't think it is a good term. I disagree. Plugins can call their functionality whatever they like. A plugin can explore a different way for synchronising music, and if successful it could end up being part of core functionality. Sync is a bad term - I get confused every time I try to sync two players together, and ultimately sync the wrong way causing me to play the wrong player content. The point of the plugin is to make things easier, not copy functionality that is already in the app. I quite like the idea of a Sync menu, with options within that to describe the direction of the the join. eg. Other Players Sync Join into players A B. One more key action perhaps, but it's quicker because I don't have to think for more than 5 secs what way the sync is going to occur, and how often does one sync anyway.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
I agree; sounds promising, and fairly comprehensive! I agree, sounds great. But the terminology is awkward still, I think. The problem for me is the word Sync, which on its own does not describe direction. I see synch as what happens when players are in a group. Setting up synchronisation involves other action words to describe the setup process. Sync To/With helps to disambiguate a bit, but it's still not clear. eg. SYNC WITH could be construed as both Sync this player WITH selected player or Sync selected player WITH this player. So, to disambiguate, I think either different words could be found that describes what is being selected, or include additional words to explain what is being selected. Perhaps: JOIN to sync group and SUMMON/INVITE/INCLUDE player into sync group Phil ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

SYNC WITH could be construed as both Sync this player WITH selected player or Sync selected player WITH this player. So, to disambiguate, I think either different words could be found that describes what is being selected, or include additional words to explain what is being selected. Perhaps: JOIN to sync group and SUMMON/INVITE/INCLUDE player into sync group Phil I think it's important to mention the word 'sync' or 'synchronise' somewhere as that is the actual SqueezeCenter action that is being performed and that the user is (hopefully) used to. JOIN, INCLUDE etc on their own don't really give any hint as to what they will do - they need something to give some context. This is probably easier on the Controller where there's more space. Perhaps one solution for all UIs would be to add another menu level, and call that something like Synchronise. So you'd have Other Players-Synchronise-Join AB. This would have the added advantage of putting Synchronise as the header on multi-line displays, adding more context to terms such as JOIN. Disadvantage is more button presses, but it's only one. Problem is Synchronize doesn't fit that well with 'JOIN'. Maybe it should be 'Sync Groups'? Unfortunately, we also need to keep things short as display width is limited and player names can be long. I like JOIN (meaning SYNC WITH) provided there's the additional context in there somehow. I think I prefer INCLUDE (meaning SYNC TO) out of the other suggestions, but it's not ideal. Please keep suggestions coming!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
Max, This sounds great! What do you think about including an All under your SYNC TO option? This would allow you to quickly sync all of your players to the playlist on the current player. I think it is a pretty common use case and a nice shortcut for those with several players. No easy terminology here that is clear like Grab/Send Playlist. My suggestions: Sync by Joining / Add to Sync or, if the first one is too long Sync(Join) / Sync(Add) Alternatively you could step through the process from a single Synchronize menu where you always prompt for both FROM and TO presenting all possible options. When you select the Synchronize menu you would be given a list of all sync groups including the current player A as follows: Synchronize From: A B C D If you selected Sync From A, you would be presented with: Synchronize From A To: B C D All If you selected Sync From B C, you would be presented with: Synchronize From B C To: A D All This would actually give you the option to sync two remote players together without affecting the current player (an odd use case, but an option). I think either approach will achieve the goal and I am looking forward to trying it out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
I agree. A new version like the one you suggested of OtherPlayers is just what I'm looking for. Mikes idea is a very good one but I don't like the word Sync/Unsync. It is not completely understandable for the not so advanced user. It is a term that is very technical. I remember the first time my wife saw it and I had to explain it to her. And I'm not completely sure she understands it now :) So why don't you try to express what it is you want it to do: You want it to play the music that is playing on this player also to be played on that player. So with mikes suggestion it would look like this: Play music from: A B C D If you selected Play music from A, you would be presented with: Play music from A on: B C D All If you selected Play music from B C, you would be presented with: Play music from B C on: A D All And instead of unsync you should called it Stop playing music on: A B C D All -- Kuben72 /Kuben72 1 Duet, 1 SBR and 2 SB3 Kuben72's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15308 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57617 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

What's the differenc between 'play music from' and 'grab playlist'? There needs to be some notion that the players will play the same thing at exactly the same time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
I've been having a think about how best to implement syncing in OtherPlayers and, at my wife's suggestion, have decided that it would be best to change things around a bit. At the moment, the first thing you do is choose a player, and then choose the action you want to perform with that player. This doesn't really work with synchronisation, as synchronisation deals with groups of players. I therefore think it would be better to start by choosing an action and then go on to choose the player, or group of players. For the non-sync-related options, this change should have little effect - the number of selections to, for example, grab a playlist would be the same - Grab Playlist - Player 1, as opposed to Player 1 - Grab Playlist. Having made this change, I then propose to remove the current Sync option and replace it with three new options. I can't think of good names for these options at the moment, so I'm going to call them Sync To, Sync With and Unsync for now. So, you would have Grab Playlist, Send Playlist, Power, Volume, Sync With, Sync To and Unsync. Sync With will list all the current groups of synchronised players, excluding any that the current player is already synced with. It will implement a sync where the current player joins the selected sync group. This means it will start playing what the other player(s) are playing. For example, if the current player is A, you could see BC, D, EF. Chosing to Sync With BC would give you ABC, chosing to Sync With D would give AD. If the current player is already synced with other players, that synchronisation will first be stopped. For example, if the current player is A, and A is synced with D, chosing to Sync With BC would end up with ABC with D on its own. Sync To will implement a sync in the opposite direction to Sync With - the selected player will be added to the current player's sync group and will play what the current player is playing. If the selected player is already synced to other players, that synchronisation will first be stopped. As a result, if you chose Sync To you will only see individual players listed, not sync groups. If A is the current player and is currently synced to BC, choosing to Sync To D will result in ABCD. If D was previously synced to E, you'd go from ABC and DE to ABCD and E. Finally, Unsync will offer an option to cancel synchronisation with any other player. There will be an 'Unsync From All' option, and the option to remove individual players from the current sync group: 'Release'. So if A is currently synced to BCD, you'd have Unsync From All, Release B, Release C. Again, I need better words. Some examples - the current player is always A. Initially, AB are synced together and so are CD. Each of the examples follows on from the previous one. Initial state: AB and CD Sync With CD - drops sync with B, giving ACD and B Sync With B - drops sync with CD, giving AB and CD Sync To C - breaks sync between CD and syncs with C, giving ABC and D Sync To D - adds D, giving ABCD Release B - gives ACD and B Release D - gives AC and B and D Sync With B - drops sync with C, giving AB and C and D Sync To C - adds C, giving ABC and D Unsync from all - gives A, BC and D That's a lot to follow, but I hope it makes sense. I think the actual UI should be much easier to understand, but it does need better wording. What do people think?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
I agree; sounds promising, and fairly comprehensive! Terminology is harder. For me, sync with has always been too ambiguous, though I'm coming round to thinking of A sync-with B to mean that A should pick up whatever B is playing. I suppose that if you have A sync-to B (where B picks up A's playlist), then the other direction could be A sync-from B; but sync with is 7.3's nomenclature. I like the word release, though I guess unsyc B (without the from) is probably clear enough. Heh, the opposite of release could be imprison or even enslave (the latter would make it clear that A is the master!) So, if I'm listening to A, and want to sync what it's playing to both B and C, then with the Controller on A, would I do something like this: OtherPlayers - SyncTo - B - - [to SyncTo player list] C - (Using - and - for left/right arrows, followed by scrolls)? I think that'd make sync'ing with multiple players pretty easy (perhaps only choosing a Synchronizer pre-prepared sync group would be simpler). (Probably don't even need that left arrow, if going right to select B doesn't actually leave the list of players.) -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57617 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
Ah ok the default setting for power on resume is .. remained paused at power on. which means that the playlist moves to the assigned player, but it wont start to play you have to press play on that player, which also means that you have to choose another player to do that. The workaround is to set power on resume to ... resume at power on. This makes the play list to immediately start playing on that player. and you can start and stop playback at that player with your on/off setting, without the need to choose another player.

The funny thing is that the player IS actually on, so sending another on command seems to pause it, when the wrong power on resume choice is made ?

radish;379788 Wrote: There's nothing stopping OtherPlayers from doing a sync in the opposite direction as well (same as push/pull playlist, which I use a lot more often than sync). Can you clarify exactly the scenario you're thinking of? (I have to admit to not being sure which was A/B in your description). I'll try... I'm listening to player A, and not surprisingly that's the currently-chosen player on the Controller. I decide that I'd like to play the same thing on players B and C (ideally without interrupting the music on A). So I try what worked under 7.2. I go to Other Players, choose B, then Sync with B. But now, A stops playing (or starts playing whatever B was playing), because sync now runs in the other direction. Player A now has acquired B's playlist. If I now go back to Other Players, choose C and then Sync with C, a now acquires C's playlist; and (crucially) sync between A and B is broken, so I can't even try to recreate A's old playlist on A, B and C, because they're still not all sync'd. Presumably, to get A synced as master with both B and C (I hope my language is clear here), I have to choose one of B or C first. This is bad enough, as switching between players on the Controller is pretty slow (at least, it's always been that way for me); this was what I loved about Other Players before 7.3. If, as I fear, I have to visit all three, then that's just too tedious for words. (I say if, because I've never tried to sync all three this way.) Might as well just stop A (perhaps waiting for the current track to end), and use The Synchroniser. (Incidentally, right now my three players are sync'd; but with the controller looking at Living Room (which should be the master, but see later), Other Players shows it as sync'd with Upstairs, but not with Kitchen. I guess there's an explanation along the lines of mumble mumble sync groups, but I can't be bothered to figure it out. Just to complete my day: though Living Room has Crossfade set (according to the controller), it ain't happening. Am I really going to have to turn it on for every player? Please, no!) I do use grab/send playlist occasionally, but really do need sync most of the time as I can hear more than one player from many parts of the house. -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57617 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
Max, I was really pleased to see this appear for 7.3; I was hoping it would be an improvement on how tedious it is to sync three or more players together in 7.3. Unfortunately, the behaviour of sync A with B has changed: it now cancels any previous sync from A, and loads B's playlist into A. This is pretty much the opposite of what happened in 7.2, but it's in line with 7.3, I grudgingly admit. So it's still not possible to sync 2 players together without having to switch players. (Well, there's The Synchronizer, but it seems to require the master (at least) to be stopped.)

[SlimDevices: Plugins] New version of OtherPlayers for 7.3
I've updated my OtherPlayers plugin to add support for SqueezeCenter 7.3. I've also added a Swedish translation, courtesy of Sören Öman. This plugin provides a new menu on your Squeezebox/Squeezebox Controller, called Other Players. It lets you select any of the other players that are connected to your SqueezeCenter server and provides ways of controlling them. You can currently do the following: * Transfer the playlist from the other player to your current player (Grab Playlist) * Transfer the playlist from your current player to the other player (Send Playlist) * Turn on/off the other player * Adjust the volume on the other player (not on Squeezebox Controller) * Sync/unsync with the other player The new plugin should be installed via the Extension Downloader from my repository at http://thespicers.net/slim/repo.xml. For further information, see http://thespicers.net/otherPlayers.html. Apologies for the delay in updating this plugin.

Bear with me - I didn't even know about the new Extension Downloader until this afternoon. Sure, no problem. The issue for some is that the latest beta version is SC 7.4, which is likely to be compatible with 7.3 (at least at the moment), but they won't be able to see the plugin in Extension Downloader, because you have set maxVersion to 7.3+. As it can't be downloaded/installed, they can't modify the maxVersion to get it to run. However, if manually download, they can at least tweak/remove the maxVersion check. ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
