Plugin: Squeezeslave

[routerunner]

Hi,

I'm very pleased to announce you the "Squeezeslave" plugin which allows you to add headless squeezebox capabilities to your beloved SageTV extender.

Please follow the thread HERE for further information.

as a plugin does this now work with 100s or is it still 200 and 300 only?

Congrats on the quick evolution from idea to reality to plugin.

thanks

Good point, I forgot to mention that the plugin is for HD200 & HD300 only, however as announced here I will start development for the HD100 version at some point, but will let you know when.

In the meantime...

Is someone in the community willing to help? I need to access remotely one HD100 for development purposes. If you're serious about it with a very good internet connection and don't mind to leave the equipment on 24/7 for few weeks, please PM me with your interest and I will contact you when time will come.

I've just released version 1.0.1 which supports both Linux and Mac servers.

To make it working you simply have to follow these instructions:

Linux
====
1) login as root
2) edit "/etc/exports" adding the following line:
/opt/sagetv/server/plugins/squeezeslaveplayer *(ro,sync,no_subtree_check)
3) restart the NFS server

Mac
===
1) login as root
2) edit "/etc/exports" adding the following line:
/<SageTV-install-dir>/plugins/squeezeslaveplayer -ro -mapall=nobody
3) restart the NFS server

I haven't tried the Mac version as I don't have one, so if anyone could give it a go would be great

The porting of the Squeeze Slave Player to the HD100 is going well...actually better than I thought originally.

I reckon I will be able to complete the 8620 Linux driver in a couple of weeks max. The player has been ported and compiled (GNU 2.95.3) to ARM as well as the generic sound driver and they run as expected on the HD100 already.

On a side note, as I haven't received so far any feedback about this plugin, I can assume either everything is working as expected (I doubt it) or nobody is currently using it

I would like to hear your opinion and suggestion please...

many thanks
Eddy

How can I get sound to play out hdmi I'm using an hd300?

Update:

The answer was in the other thread. Just have to start playback of an audio file and piause it. Then u can play from squeezeserver. This is awesome. Will it be possible to not have to do this whole pause thing in the future? This is really big achievement for the sage community!
