I thought I'd share this with people - its very early days, but its the underpinnings what I am thinking of to control the squeezelite player for a hdmi based control application for the community squeezebox. At present is looks just like the Touch version of squeezeplay, but its not quite this.
The idea is for a cut down version of the squeezeplay application based on the BSD licensed logitech code. This is focussed as the original jive product was on controlling separate squeezebox instances. So all audio playback is removed and many of the applets included with squeezeplay are also removed to make it simpler. The aim would be to create a full screen skin which can be used to display the control application on the hdmi port of a device (wandboard/pi/cubox etc). I'd be interested in people would would like to look at the skin or have already looked at full screen skins. Long term I would also like to create a new set of image assets for this, so looking for help with this... Some internal details: - all audio code removed - assumes local shared libraries installed for main libraries (libSDL, libSD_ttf, libSDL_image, libSDL_gfx) so these are not built as part of the application (may want to do this later to reduce memory foot print) - moved from lua to luajit to get get some of the additional features this brings such as ablity to directly bind c libraries (+ a performance boost) - some small syntax changes to cope with move to luajit - same underlying applet based architecture and code as squeezeplay which should make it easy for people to create additional applets, note there are a couple of few syntax differences as the logitech lua had specific patches for non standard operators [ != | & ] which can't be used with luajit The early code is on googlecode if you want to take a look.. git clone https://code.google.com/p/jivelite/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98156 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
