Where do I save the followiTunes script to. Do I put it under the
Plugins folder?
If I recall correctly the script can be saved anywhere.
It's not a conventional plugin and uses the http interface of SlimServer
to control playback.

Wow. I'm impressed it works!
Unfortunately I don't think there's anything to be done about the delay
- the script checks what iTunes is doing once a second already, so I
guess most of the delay comes in from SlimServer cueing up the file and
any buffering done in the Squeezebox.

This won't help, but I've
used the Mac program Airfoil to redirect any audio from my Mac to an Airport
Express. Works real nice with Pandora.com.
Well,it would help if Pankaj had a Mac -we're getting
close!

Yes, that did sound quite tricky. Also it doesn't seem to be possible to
capture the sound indefinitely, a time period is required.
Anyway, followiTunes is done as-is:
it's not supposed to be a plugin, because your SlimServer might not be
on the same machine as iTunes.
Really, installing Perl
The MSI should open in Windows installer and do everything
automatically.
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.7
.815-MSWin32-x86-211909.msi
If you're on XP I think you should already have the right version of
Windows Installer.
I wouldn't recommend the .as
Ah! OK In theory...
Open up the script in notepad.
Firstly is the SlimServer host the same as your SlimServer host?
If not, you need to replace the $server_address variable with the
correct IP address.
Secondly, you need to enter the MAC Address of the squeezebox to control
in the $player
Correction !

Hi Pankaj,
Unfortunately the followiTunes script is only written for Windows!
I think it also does the reverse of what you want - ie it makes
SlimServer play whatever iTunes is playing.

Ah sorry, I had somehow got the impression you were a mac user from the
reference to airport!
I suppose it is what you want then, although the SB will actually be
playing music!
Therefore if you want to run the script you would need to install
ActiveState Perl (which is free),
Then you'd just
The only real solution is to buy another squeezebox!
If this isn't an option it seems like you can still theoretically do it
2 ways...
1) stream Slimserver - iTunes - Airport Express. Control/view
SlimServer stream via (Shadowplay?) SlimServer plugin.
2) stream iTunes - Airport Express.
