Newbie & questions

[Slawomir Pucia]

Hi there developers,

I've been introduced to Squeezebox only yesterday. I was very pleased with
the open source approach. Today, I've wasted almost whole day trying to find
something better than this product :-)

As I can't afford now to buy my own Squeezebox, I think I'm goining to try
to earn one by contributing to this project :-) I'll start by translating
strings.txt and trying to understand how this thing works. And then... who
knows.

And here are my newbie's questions:

1. I can't seem to get access to cvs. Both ViewCVS and cvs client keep
asking me for password I don't know. What is the password for anonymous
access then?

2. Will it be possible to translate firmware strings as well?

3. Is there any Squeeze box emulator available? It would be very helpful in
exploring this product's interaction with SlimServer.


Okay, that's it for now. Hope to get some reply :-)

Yup.. that would make a really nice start ;-))

Btw. here's my next question...

4. Is there any support for charsets other than iso-8859-1? I see that it is
hardcoded in Default/index.html.

Yes, there is (though it does not actually play sound :-)):
http://www.pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~decouto/slimp3/

It's a Java applet which emulates the user interface (display, remote) of
the Slim devices. Very handy for plugin developpement!

Well, yes, but TripleFat emulates the original SliMP3, not the
Sqeezebox. AFAIK the user interface is the same, but the Squeezebox
_protocol_ is completely different.

anonymous cvs access isn't yet available. it is planned to be made available soon.

very much so. Slimp3 uses UDP, squeezebox is TCP based. If you try to use
SLIMP3 server with a squeezebox, it will not even detect the server.

Hopefully triplefat development is still ongoing :)
