Thank you. Used your chown suggestion. Interestingly simply adding the
'slimserver' user to the dialout group did not do the trick.
Dapper, I think is 6.06LTS (long term support, why I did this...)

That's almost certainly a permissions problem. I'm not sure what version
of 'br' I'm using (I'm away from my network now).
Dapper... that's 6.06, right? My 6.06 test system gives /dev/ttyS* to
the "dialout" group. I believe this is due to the
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules file.

I should always leave well enough alone. Things were fine with your

I need to stop posting links to specific beta releases.
Late last night I posted a new version with different button behavior.

The problem with the "press briefly" == "on" vs. "hold button" == "off"
is that while the final result was "off", the plugin was be

Thanks to kdf, I now have a version that behaves properly when Forward

Peter:
I had a little time to test, and it seems to work effectively. No
problems noted with 6.5.1, but I really did a pretty minimal run
through. This will be useful.
The only thought I had was with the dim codes. I agree that the
volume codes could be a problem, but the natural reaction

Sorry, very poor testing on my part.
I just played some more with SoftSqueeze, and I seem to be having
trouble with 6.5.0's subscribe mechanism. I cannot seem to reliably
subscribe to more than one command, and this plugin needs to be called
for several different commands.
I've just made a "1.8"
And if you use the remote control or web interface to turn the player
off and on, all you see are more lines like

where "N" is "0" or "1"? Or does it always say "1"?
Time to do more SoftSqueeze testing, perhaps. :-(

Thanks so much for the update. I had concluded that the problem was the
changes needed to be compatible for 6.5, and rushed to try your 1.7.
Unfortunately, no joy. It never seems to output the command
appropriately, i. e. I never see the output of
$::d_plugins && msg("executing command: \"".
OK, I just posted a new version, BottleRocket.pm 1.7, that seems to work
with 6.3.1 and 6.5.0 (I don't have 6.5.0 running on a system with a
serial port, but the --d_plugins output suggests this code works
properly). Please let me know if you have any problems.

Eric,
Please give this a try (install it as BottleRocket.pm and make the
usual changes in the "USER SETTINGS" part of the code):

...and let me know how that works.
I think the $cmd logic in the callback of this version is not needed,
given 6.5
Eric, I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm afraid I'm not too surprised that it's not working with SlimServer
6.5.x, as I haven't upgraded to 6.5.x yet, and the Slim plugins API is
constantly changing, making it very difficult to write
"forward-compatible" plugins (see
