[QUOTE="Ken4000, post: 821484, member: 115357"] Hi I have searched after a plugin for controlling the Squeezebox system in MediaPortal, but I don't think it exist. So I'm going to develop it and that's why I have created this thread :) Right now I'm using Softsqueeze ([URL='http://softsqueeze.sourceforge.net/']Softsqueeze 3.9b2[/URL]) on my HTPC and this makes it possible to control the HTPC as an Squeezebox Receiver, but it does not interact with MediaPortal. Features for the plugin is: [LIST=1] [*]Squeezebox Client: Still using Softsqueeze as an client, but Softsqueeze and MediaPortal can communicate/interrupt each other. [INDENT=1] 1.1 When MediaPortal is used for etc. watching TV, movies, it will turn off Softsqueeze. 1.2 If Softsqueeze is turned on and MediaPortal shows TV, DVD etc. it should change to the Squeezebox view, showing what is played. 1.3 Feature 1.1 and 1.2 should be configurable, so the user can decide, if it's okay to change or interrupt the current view/mode.[/INDENT] [*]Squeezebox Manager: A control panel plugin, that can manage what to play on every squeezebox on the home network. [/LIST] I will start with the client part and develop the plugin first and from there implement some tests to see if I can interrupt MediaPortal and also start the Softsqueeze. If anybody have some knowledge in communication with the Squeezebox system as the Squeezebox Control Panel does it or have SDK for the Squeezebox system, you are welcome to write to me. You are also welcome to write other features or ideas for this plugin for discussion :) I'm looking forward to hear from you and hope you also have a need for such a plugin ;) [B]ToDo list:[/B] [B]Version 1[/B] [LIST] [*]Implement a GUI layout. [*]Attach the layout to the functionality. [*]Implement a "listener" to the Squeezebox server. [*]Test it. [/LIST] [B]Version 2[/B] [LIST] [*]Mediaportal and Squeezebox can interrupt each other. [*]Sync of multiple squeezeboxes. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
