Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Questions regarding Custom Browse CLI
I am running Custum Browse 1.22.4 and Slimserver 6.5.2 and use the CLI interface very heavily from touchscreens of my own design(software that is). 1.22.4 cleared up the only issue I had. Have you checked it and the wikki for the CLI documentation. To startout I issue something like SlimPlayers(SMx).id + " custombrowse browse 0 100" And get back the list of items under the custom browse menu. I am not sure what I would get beack if custombrowse was not installed, but I suspect I would not get any data back, perhaps just the command echo. I also use multilibrary and have set up one lbrary called Stereo Music. That is what I get back when I issue the above command.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Questions regarding Custom Browse CLI
Hi, I'm trying to work out how to use the CLI interface to CustomBrowse. I am able to use the SlimServer CLI but cannot seem to get the CustomBrowse CLI to work, based on the examples above. CustomBrowse and MultiLibrary work fine through the web interface. I notice that 'can custombrowse' returns 0. Should this return 1? I have tried this with CustomBrowse 1.22.4 and SlimServer 6.5.2. I previously had older versions of CustomBrowse and SlimServer installed, could this be the problem?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Questions regarding Custom Browse CLI
I have made a lot of progress with the CLI interface and using it from my touchscreens. i have now run into a problem That I can not figure out. If I submit a "custombrowse add" to add an artist to the playlist, it works for the first N of my artists. But not for any after them. What I have determined (don't know if it is relevant) is that the first artist it stops working for is on the Second page group of I use the Web interface of Slimserver. In fact all of the ones it fails for are not on the first page (Which in my case is artists beginning with the letter A-G). I amworking with 1.21.1 I have 109 artists in my stereo music library. If I submit "custombrowse add" to add an album to the playlist the exact same condition occurrs. Works for all albums that are on the first page when looking at the stereo music library / albums in the slimserver web interface, but no others. I have carefully checked what I am submitting it looks good and coorect. the sane code build the CLI request for every artis and similar code for every album. The differences are in setting up the hierarchy strings. But as i said before they look good to me. Would 1.21.3 have a corrrection for this? -- barrygordon barrygordon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35621 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

The id's are used internally inside Custom Browse and can't contains spaces and other strange characters, I solved by url encoding them. So if you have a file that contains a space, for example: my library This will in the id be encoded as: my%20library Then when this is sent over CLI it is encoded again, this time it is the percent character that is encoded, which result in: my%2520library -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35621 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

The reason for this is that the same code is used as for the web interface where the information is displayed in pages. So basically you will get one "page" at a time where the page size is specified with the second number in the CLI command. It will retrieve the number of items you requested and also add the items up until next page. barrygordon;204842 Wrote: > I also noticed in the URL encoding for a blank within the name of my > library I saw %2520 while I was expecting %20Are you sure this was the name ?

To get the correct command you will need to browse the menu from the top. Lets say you have a menu like this: Code: Custom Browse Stereo Music Albums Album1 Album2 Artists Artist1 Artist2 To get the correct command for a list of artists first issue (xx is the mac adress of the player): Code: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx custombrowse browse 0 100 This will give you a result with all the first 100 top level menus, in the example it should return the "Stereo Music" entry. Something like: Code: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx custombrowse browse 0 100 count:1 level:multilibrary_stereomusic itemid:multilibrary_stereomusic itemname:Stereo Music The important thing in the response is the "level" and "itemid" response parameters, this will get us to the next level. So for listing sub directories below the "Stereo Music" folder we would issue: Code: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx custombrowse browse 0 100 hierarchy:multilibrary_stereomusic multilibrary_stereomusic:multilibrary_stereomusic The hierarchy parameter is: hierarchy: And the values after it is: : Anyway, the above command result which contains the "Albums" and "Artists" entry would be something like: Code: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx custombrowse browse 0 100 hierarchy:multilibrary_stereomusic multilibrary_stereomusic:multilibrary_stereomusic count:2 level:albums itemid:albums itemname:Albums level:artists itemid:artists itemname:Artists Again, we need to look at the "level" and "itemid" to get to the next level. So we issue the following to list the contents of the "Albums" menu: Code: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx custombrowse browse 0 100 hierarchy:multilibrary_stereomusic,albums multilibrary_stereomusic:multilibrary_stereomusic albums:albums And the response to this which contains Album1 and Album2 would be something like: Code: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx custombrowse browse 0 100 hierarchy:multilibrary_stereomusic multilibrary_stereomusic:multilibrary_stereomusic,albums multilibrary_stereomusic:multilibrary_stereomusic albums:albums count:2 level:album itemid:1 itemname:Album1 level:album itemid:2 itemname:Album2 So the above is basically the command you want, the 0 and 100 numbers is the start position to return and the number of items to return, so you can change these to "100 300" to get the next 300 items, or to something like "0 100" to return all items in a single response. Just for the case of making the sample complete, to get the list of songs for Album2 we would issue: Code: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx custombrowse browse 0 100 hierarchy:multilibrary_stereomusic,albums,album multilibrary_stereomusic:multilibrary_stereomusic albums:albums album:2 Again, we just add the level to hierarchy and add a level:value parameter for the new level we like to browse into. The commands will be exactly the same as long as you don't change the filenames of the library and menu configurations. This is the case as long as the command doesn't contain database identifiers, which for example the last command that lists songs does. But the command for listing albums in this example is always the same. So due to this, you wouldn't have to go through this sequence every time, you could issue the third command directly and get the right response. The sequence in this case is just needed to get the correct command. There will also be more result parameters than shown above in a real situation, but I just shown those I thought was relevant for understanding. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35621 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://list
