Net::UDAP - SqueezeBox Receiver configuration tool

[Robin Bowes]

Hi all,

Net::UDAP is a Perl module to configure the SqueezeBox Receiver (SBR)
from a PC, i.e. without requiring a SqueezeBox Controller (SBC).

The project homepage is here:

http://projects.robinbowes.com/Net-UDAP

Net::UDAP was originally released in June 2008 and there have been no
significant changes since then. However, I've recently updated the
documentation so thought I'd post this announcement in case anyone tried
it previously but got stuck for whatever reason.

I've also fixed the registration system on the website so it is now
possible to register, login, and create support tickets. You could even
go completely crazy and add/improve the doucmenation by editing the wiki!

Net::UDAP is free software, but allow me to draw your attention to my
Paypal donnation link:

Enjoy!

Excellent work, Robin!
I'll check it out.

IMHO LogiTech should make a handsome donation for your good work (and
work they should've been doing themselves).
How about 5 free Duets for each of your kids?

Regards,
Peter

Oh, I get my rewards, direct and indirect.

For example, I start a new perl coding job on Monday 12th essentially on
the back of my Net::UDAP code.

So, I'm fairly happy.

That's not to say that I wouldn't welcome more recompense, financial or
otherwise

Hello!
Thanks for the tool.- But I have problem with running it. The comes different error-messages, for example "error lin Line 27", and after copying file to my path "error in lin31".
I habe OS "Win Vista" and Perl 5.8.8. What must I do that "udap_shell.pl" works well, so that I can configure my squeezebox without controller?
Regards
Bernd

I've 'compiled' this version with perlapp from the Activestate Perl PDK.
The resulting executable is a probably bit easier to user for the average
SB user. You can put it up on the Net-UDAP page if you want.

Thanks for this.

Any idea about the licensing implications? i.e. is it freely distributable?

Hmmm, I get the variable "not initialised" msgs when I ran this the
first time, but it was OK with code direct from the RELEASE_1.0.0 tag
and also the second time I ran this executable. I wonder what causes that?

I have a license for the compiler, so I can distribute the executable.
That means I can share it with anyone I want. That's fairly standard for
compilers. Perlapp isn't really a compiler though. It bundles the Perl
compiler and the libraries used inside the exe-package and unpacks it
all before running. That's why you'll notice that the start up time is
slower because of the unpacking.

I know the Logitech guys use perlapp for packaging SqueezeCenter, so
they could have packed it for you too. Even better, they could also make
an OS-X executable.

We only use PerlApp on Windows (so far). Shouldn't the script run on OSX'
perl installation?

Windows, Linux, OSX. All of them, I guess.

But Windows & OSX should cover most customers and Linux boxes usually
have Perl installed already.
