Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
Just google Kodi skinning basically. There's heaps of info in the wiki. It's all simple XML. The file you need is in the addon itself in the resources sir - XSqueezeNowPlayingWindow.xml IIRC. Main thing to do would be add a keyboard control to trigger 'ReloadSkin()' in your keyboard.xml so you can very easily see see your changes as you make them. (and turn on the grid to ease layout etc). A few nights should be enough. The basic structure was two panels - now playing info in the left and artist slidesow display on the right. bossanova808's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93544 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
That's good to hear. It's probably xbmc giving up on the thumb arriving, I don't think there's much I can do about that. XSqueeze, it will be painfully obvious, is a pretty gross hack really. It just started as a proof of concept (becvause for years people had been saying that a proper xbmc client should be made but nobody did anything, I just wanted something as a visualiser but then adding playback in a non integrated way was easy, so that came along etc etc) - I ran with it a bit, but in a very unstructured way (it was really some of my first python). So don't expect too much from it and I don't actually use it myself (I uses SBs for music mostly, but if I want to play music through my TV connected systems I mostly just use xbmc itself). bossanova808's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93544 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
[Copy of post form XSqueeze main thread over at the Kodi forums...] Ok folks here's a little supplementary thing I have started work on. It's very handy if you have a squeezebox sitting next to your Kodi machine It's called XSqueezeDisplay (& I am offiicially crap at naming things!). It's a tool to display Kodi now playing info using the line display of a SB2/Sb3/Classic Squeezebox. Basically, the idea is that it will be like LCDProc but using a Squeezebox display. If you're not using Kodi, it will just fall back to displaying the standard Date and Time stuff. This alpha version displays only one thing so far - time remaining on the currently playing video (only) file. The alpha is here: https://github.com/bossanova808/reposito...isplay.zip You need to install that to your Logitech Media Server plugins folder - check where that is here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Lo..._locations To install, download the zip and extract it in that folder such that you end up with something like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Squeezebox\server\Plugins\XSqueezeDisplay\Plugin.pm (..etc!) Now, RESTART your LMS. Go to Settings->Plugins and you should now see XSqueezeDisplay -> click settings on right and fill those in with your Kodi json details (IP address, port, username and password or leave those last two blank if you don't use authentication). Note the two template lines at the bottom are currently not used so just leave them empty! Apply the settings (bottom right). RESTART your LMS again. Check the end of the LMS log and you should see something like: *** XSqueezeDisplay *** Kodi endpoint is http://user:password@192.168.16.31:80/jsonrpc (user:password will be missing if you don't use one). Now on your kodi machine, play a video. You should see the display change to something like (if in two line mode): Playing 12:05PM [-45:12] - and the timer on the right ticking down as each second passes. bossanova808's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93544 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Not a big reader huh? ;) "Squeezelite supports gapless playback, a wide range of sample rates (44.1 kHz / 48 kHz / 88.2 kHz / 96 kHz / 176.4 kHz / 192 kHz / 352.8 kHz / 384 kHz)" BUT - I think you'd have to custom compile squeezelite on the RPi (R Pi uses the arm6 hard dloat binary IIRC) - to support the resampling. If you do that, you can overwrite the binary with the addon with yours and that shoudl in theory be it I think, although I know very little about this,.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
For those with Raspberry Pi devices where this still doesn't work, the problem might be that support for ALSA sound is not included as default e.g. RaspBMC 1.0 ALSA sound was not enabled by default in early OS releases on RPi because it occasionally caused crashes. Things have improved since then so you can try by logging into the system and enabling ALSA by typing: sudo modprobe snd-bcm2835 Do not reboot at this stage If that command makes things work for you (when you next run XSqueeze - be patient because it can take quite a long time to bring up the UI) then you can make the change permanent (at least until the next update to device) by typing: sudo echo "snd-bcm2835" >> /etc/modules Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93544 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes, you'll need the "K" tag to get artwork_url in status response ("a"
and "l" will also include artist and album info).
Big thanks for your work, it works really well. Will try to look into
more stuff and hope I can contribute with something later on.
Curl works great in the part of the script you suggested, this is the
code I use in case anyone else wants to add it (don't know if it's the
best way though).

Ok, cool, thanks - I integrated your code (added a test for http in the artwork_url as well as per your php code to get it to work with radio stations - I don't have spotify etc so this was the best I could try!). I will push this release out soon. I don't care about a few more telnets/optimum code, everything seems very responsive and if these machines can handle the rest of xbmc they'll do fine with XSqueeze...but feel free to improve it and supply something else if you like - I never stream really (other than radio) so it's not very important to me personally but I am sure others will appreciate it. Ok I get how you're using the visualiser now, makes sense if you're using a physical player externally. If you finesse up your skin and are happy with it let me know and I will put in the add on page... (BTW I am super busy right now due to some family health stuff hence not getting into this a bit more - basically, feel free to hack and submit and I will integrate as long as it doesn't break anything for others!)

I've never coded in Python, so this approach is probably not an ideal
solution, but this is what I came up with in SqueezePlayer.py to make
the Spotify cover art show. As you might see I send the "status" command
for one track (count) with the tags Kal (K=artwork_url, a=artist,
l=album).
This actually works pretty well although there's probably a better place
in the code where this "status" command could be called (now it doesn't
show upcoming cover art and upcoming info for spotify tracks). I'm sure
there's also a better way to extract the data from the response than the
one I do. Of course, this also makes four more telnet queries.
So, this is just a quick fix to make Spotify (and perhaps other
streaming services) cover art work. I'd like to try some more stuff out
later but haven't really understood all of your code yet.
Code:
def updateCoverArtURLs(self):
coverURLs = []
#print "Playlist is" + str(self.playlist)
#start at this song , end at + 3
index = int(self.sb.request("playlist index ?"))
upcomer = index
end = index + 4
#currently uses the track_id in the url - works well
#supposed to use the cover_id number but this doesn't work so well...
for count in range(upcomer,end):
if(counthttp://"; + constants.SERVERHTTPURL + "/" + statusArtwork
else:
statusId = statusInfo.split('id:')
statusId = statusId.pop(1)
statusId = statusId.split(' ')
statusId = statusId.pop(0)
coverURL = "http://"; + constants.SERVERHTTPURL + "/music/" + str(statusId) +
"/cover.jpg"
#print self.playlist[count]
#currentID = self.playlist[count]['id']
#coverURL = "http://"; + constants.SERVERHTTPURL + "/music/" + str(currentID)
+ "/cover.jpg"
#Logger.log ("Appending future cover: " + str(count) + " from " + coverURL)
coverURLs.append(coverURL)
except Exception as inst:
Logger.log("No cover art so appending null string for playlist index " +
str(count), inst)
coverURLs.append("")
self.coverURLs = coverURLs

I think that one is from the original xml file, It was commented out and
I left it like that.
> Won't the visualisation never come up as we're not playing anything via

It won't show up as long as your not playing anything in the xbmc
player. It's just for a fake visualization where a use could be if you
have the TV input to xbmc and AVR input to a squeezebox player, in that
case you could start streaming something like a low bitrate web radio on
xbmc and the visualization for that stream will be displayed while the
squeezebox player is the music you hear. It's not a very user friendly
solution, nor is it anything but fake visualization, but if you like
visualization - it's at least possible. (I do get alot of "waiting for
artist.slideshow to exit when I have visualization though, I think
there might be a problem if your playing a track where xbmc knows the
artist and the slideshow script looks for that artist as well as/instead
of the one that is playing on the squeezebox)
Likewise you can play a video stream on xbmc and if you run your script
it will show the video in the background, I like this a lot, mainly to
have live-tv displayed while listening to music and still see cover art
as an overlay to the video stream. I added a launcher to your script in
the themes VideoOSD.xml so it can easily be launched while playing a
video.
The skin is just meant to be a fancy display for squeezebox at the
moment. When I posted the last message I didn't know that the fonts
where inherited from the current skin so I think mine might look weird
as I think the xml is using Confluence font titles while I myself have a
modified Alaska as theme. Will have a second go at this later.
By the way, I can change the AV input on my receiver by "curl"-ing a web
page, this would be awesome if the script would do this while launching
(and perhaps "curl" another web page while exiting). Do you know where,
if possible, in the script I could add something like that?
I'm sorry for all the questions and such but I'm really enjoying being
able to integrate Squeezebox and XBMC, thanks again for a great script!

I don't use radio much myself, and I quite like the default pic but if you give me an easy solve I am happy to pop it in. RE: your skin - you can't call the artist slideshow with a button (it's commented out in the XSqueezeNowPlaying.xml) - that method doesn't work anymore.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
Thanks for the quick reply! Re CLI, squeezebox json is using the same commands and gets the same results, just that you get it returned in json format. I don't know any python but tried looking at your code and it seems you're using the "playlist" and "songinfo" command. In my php script I used the "status" command which returned the strings necessary to show spotify cover art, I'm not sure what those commands return but can compare them later.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
1) Not really - we're not using the XBMC player so there's no hook into the visualization. Best you could do is set some sort of screensaver up as a pseduo-visualisation. 2) I am not using json, rather the CLI - I will look into this but no promises! Thanks for the examples... (Also, patches welcome... the code is on googlecode if you fancy a stab at the python code... http://code.google.com/p/bossanova808-xbmc-addons/ ) 3) Skinning it would be great - check the provided Confluence file, it documents everything pretty clearly I think.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
Hi,
Really appreciate this plugin, I'm gonna try skinning it later on. I'm
using it as a remote/display for my squeezebox receivers.
Just a few questions/suggestions:
1) Is it possible to have visualization to show in the app?
2) When playing internet radio/spotify the app shows a standard
squeezebox radio icon as cover art.
I just looked at some of the php code I previously experimented with
(together with squeezebox json rpc) and this is how I did to get around
this and display the correct cover art ($value is the array with the
json "status" response):
Code:
http://localhost:9000";;
$id = $value['id'];
$artworkurl = $value['artwork_url'];
if(empty($artworkurl)){
// artwork_url is empty, probably local playback, get the cover art
with $id
$artwork = $squeezeboxserver . "/music/" . $id . "/cover_2000x2000.jpg";
}
else{
// artwork_url not empty, probably internet radio, try
displaying external cover art
$findme = "http";
$pos = strpos($artworkurl, $findme); // look
for http
if($pos !== false) {
// album_url contains http, get that
image
$artwork = $artworkurl;
}
else {
// album_url does not contain http, use
this to display it
$artwork = $squeezeboxserver . "/" .
$artworkurl;
}
}
echo "";
?>
It was a long time ago I did this so I don't exactly remember how the
json response looked, but looked today at the php output for the three
different outcomes in the script and they look like this:
[1 - with empty 'album_url', just grabbing the coverart with 'id']
json response:
'id' = '28830'
'album_art' = ''
set artwork:
$artwork = "http://localhost:9000/music/28830/cover_2000x2000.jpg";;
[2 - 'album_art' contains http, grabbing the http]
json response:
'album_art' = 'http://radiotime-logos.s3.amazonaws.com/s25681q.png'
set artwork:
$artwork = "http://radiotime-logos.s3.amazonaws.com/s25681q.png";;
[3 - 'album_art' does not contain http, add the string to the squeezebox
server url]
json response:
'album_art' =
'spotifyimage/spotify:image:f0dd4a841252c146768d8a6637a45a270ab913af/cover.jpg'
set artwork:
$artwork =
"http://localhost:9000/spotifyimage/spotify:image:f0dd4a841252c146768d8a6637a45a270ab913af/cover.jpg";;
Sorry if my explanation is kind of messy.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
Yeah to be honest it (squeezeslave) plays all my local radio streams fine, and here in Aus. there is very limited access to other types of streams due to onerous licensing restrictions - so I won't be putting effort into something I probably can't use anyway, realistically. Also I repeat - the very basic two line + button approach I can use with Squeezeslave is very very easy...the other protocols are obviously more feature rich but harder work too.

I was very excited about this at first, but the use of Squeezeslave rules it out for me. Lack of direct stream support needed for Spotify etc. kills it for me.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
Yep I don't think that is the way to go. For me personally, I am really not sure slimproto is worth the effort, which would be considerable. My main issue is how to deal with the touch/radio and future devices - at the moment, this reflects my hardware, which is all classics/booms. And the reality is, with projects like Raspberry Pi, the internal XBMC audio player is a very viable alternative, although it definitely needs improvement in some areas...I see this as a bridging solution until either XBMC's music functionality improves (codec support etc is already quite good, it's really jut the clunky browsing/playlist management side that needs a thorough workover). Of course I am hoping logo release a slim device but with an HDMI out and cool big screen display - honestly, a great internal dac, and HDMI out, are the two things I would really like to see in a new Squeezebox type device. -- bossanova808 bossanova808's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93544 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
True, the XBMC forums are vast and intimidating at times! Yes, this is a TV display for Squeezebox clients - it can either be it's own client, and do display and playback, or it can just be a larger display for an existing Squeezebox - I am using it as one of each at my home...I don't have a Squeezebox in my main media room, so there I use this as display & player, but in another room I do have a Squeezebox so I just use this as a larger display (as the hardware based synchronisation is always better than software synchronisation and when I am in this room I typically have other rooms playing as well). I suspect most people will use it directly as a player, though. XBMC runs on a bewildering array of hardware, and yes on most occasions is connected by HDMI to your receiver or TV. I personally have: - Shuttle XS35GT using HDMI for video and audio to a Denon 2309 amp - An ASRock ION 330 connected via HDMI to a TV and analogue audio to a digital amp - An old Mac Mini with video via DVI->HDMI and audio via SPDIF to an amp. So basically, hardware wise, there are LOTS of options. The XBMC hardware forum has some good example/recommended setups from a user named eskro. In terms of output, it uses Squeezeslave, so can output to whatever Squeezeslave can. Most of the time it seems to work automatically, not sure how, and sends sound to the primary output. But if you want, you can manually run 'squeezeslave -L' and it will list the available audio outputs - you can then run 'squeezeslave -o12' or similar, to get it to use a specific output (which may or may not be different to your main/tv output, depending on what you wish to achieve). The add on lets you specify extra squeezesalve arguments if you need themalthough eventually I might build a window that lets you do this inside the plugin with a GUI, it won't be for a while at least - but the manual way is easy. As to what it can play, the depends entirely on what Squeezeslave can play. I have yet to find something it can't, but I have pretty much all MP3s and FLACs, with a few m4a etc, but I don't think I have any 5.1 stuff for audio. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeSlave - should tell you what you need to know, or the Squeezeslave support thread. XBMC is of course an amazing thing in many other ways than this, if you have any interest in video and slick GUIs, it's well worth trying in and of itself - this is jut a wee little bonus on the side! -- bossanova808 bossanova808's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93544 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
I would like to ask some questions here, if you don't mind, before
drowning in the xbmc forums where there is TMI for a newbie.
Will this allow me to have the client ("now playing") display on my
TV?
Is there any xbmc hardware that connects to the TV/receiver via HDMI?
If so, can the Squeeze-served music go over the same HDMI?
And will it work with multi-channel FLAC files?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
Ok screenie in the first post of that thread now - like I said, v. simple as this page. Hopefully I can tie it in nicely to the very eye candy rich XBMC experience...that's the plan. Long way to go yet, but this is at least serviceable. -- bossanova808 bossanova808's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=619 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93544 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] XSqueeze - XBMC and Squeezebox, together at last!
Anything XBMC runs on I think (+ squeezeslave must run on the platform if you want local playback). The add on is written (like all xbmc addons) in Python - and at the moment is so embarrassingly simply a screen shot is pointless. I have tried Win, Linux (Openelex XBMC), and OSX so far.

Sounds interesting! What platforms do you support?
