Indeed... :) with interchangeable chimes (Westminster, Whittington or St. Michael's, whatever, cuckoo clock!) and selectable period (off, 15, 30, 60 minutes) and probably a turn off the chimes at night option too. If I get this project in a decent state, I might enlist someone with an actual GF

Re: [slim] Grandfather clock plugin, possible?

Thanks for the reply guys, Unfortunately for now, I'm stuck with V6.5 as I'm running off a NAS but I guess I could take a peek at the V7 code to see how it's done. I've been digging deeper in the squeezebox slimp3 comm protocols and I've found commands to feed a stream directly into the SB

If you end up coding this plugin, I think you should also consider a 'roaring fire in background' option :) -- oktup oktup's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1117 View this thread:

...or a tropical rainforest or waves crashing on a beach, etc. The nice thing about a clock is that you _expect_ the sounds to be repetitive... a 5 second snippet of a roaring fire in a loop will probably get on everybody's nerves real quick! ;) -- dborn SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12387 -

[slim] Grandfather clock plugin, possible?

I have an idea for a plugin that would actually involve playing some sounds without actually playing a track. My idea is for a grandfather clock plugin that would always emit (for lack of a better word) the tick-tock sound and would also play chimes every 15/30/60 minutes and would also count

Re: [slim] Grandfather clock plugin, possible?

I'm not completely sure, but I think I've read that SlimServer can only play stuff that is in the database and in the current playlist. So I suppose this means that you will need to go through the standard play/add code. The announcement script should give you some idea, it interrupts the

Re: [slim] Grandfather clock plugin, possible?

You could possibly use the Heartbeat sound embedded in SC7 to do the tick-tock sound. As for the chime sound and then maybe use the wind chimes sound again from the embedded sounds as the 15/30/45/60 chimes just running them longer each time Schatzy -- schatzy Kitchen - SB3 - Russound R235LS
