STV Import: SlimPlayer 2.0 - Slacker, Pandora, Sirius,... on Extenders

[dkopp]

Great addition to SageTV, but I am stuck hope someone can help.

Using an MVP extender, with the VAC installed and configured as best I can follow. There seem to be some gaps in the setup procedure with the VAC. Here are my questions:

There are two audio repeaters (KS) or (MME), which one do I use and with either, what are the settings for wave in and/or out?

Also there is a control panel for this setup with quit extensive options. What is checked in the "Connected source lines"? Is volume control active?
here is a screenshot of the configurations. Hope I can get this fixed.

fyi, I hope to be able to start a site to document some of the best sage add ons.

The new power button gives you a chance to manually power on or power off the slim player.
Use this in combination with the 3rd-party SqueezeCenter plugin PowerSave to automatically power off players when they are idle for a selectable period.
SqueezeCenter will only purge its filecache properly when all players are powered off.

Chris,

Just to let you know that your power button option is working great! Filecache is no longer endlessly building. We power down slimplayer whenever we are done with it, and now no problems! Thanks a million!

The audio repeater is not part of the target configuration.
You only need the audio repeater tool for verification that VAC is indeed receiving audio from slimplayer. Setup wave in to Virtual Cable 1 and wave out to you local soundcard wave in. Start playback in slimplayer. Make sure you have set VAC as output device in slimplayer's setup menu. In this you should hear audio from your local audio card , i.e. on the server!

Just uploaded a fix to correct missing artist info caused by recent changes to yahoo's music site.
Just unzip the file into the sagetv base folder overwriting the existing files:
slimplayer-ai.xml and slimplayer-ai-news.xml.
No restart of sageTV is necessary.
