CLI = command line interface. LMS has an interface which text based command can begiven to control LMS / player and get status. If you have done any programming it is a bit cryptic as IIRC it is aimed at programs not humans. In LMS world - when players are turned off - they are not off - just the display is blank - SB players are only really off when power is removed. When you turn on a player by applying power (e.g. via smart socket) - you will need to allow time for player to power up, get on network and then for LMS to recognise player is on network.

This looks to be the same script only I referenced github. The advice is right - don't waste time on LMS plugins etc until you have checked from a shell prompt that the script runs on rpi and that it can control the smart plug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109642 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
