No, i want to control kodi from squeezebox controller.

[usc95]

which one are you looking for?

Are you looking to control your squeezeboxes from XBMC/Kodi or something else? If you are looking to control your Squeezeboxes and even add a player to your Kodi system then you should look here for all the details:http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?...1%23pid1012231

Anyone?

[snoopy86]

XBMC on the Pi

Sorry to drag up such an old thread but I recently bought a raspberry pi and running XBMC on it, got your applet and managed to install to my receiver and got it loaded up.

However, when I put in the IP and Port of XBMC it didnt work.. I think I know why but was hoping someone can confirm something for me.

Does the device I'm trying to control (the Pi) need to be wifi enabled? OR does the controller talk to it through the router? (like my Android/Iphone apps?)

Cheers

Use XBMC as a squeezebox controller / player

See - http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=1012231

I've written a (so far) simple addon for XBMC - a controller and/or player (using squeezeslave)

I'd like the reverse: Use XBMC to control SB and display art and info. Maybe even audio playback, though I know that's more work.

Hm. Maybe that's a project for me.

RE: Menu to select XBMC clients

Hi Lesliew

Thanks, it is always nice to hear people liking this script. To be honest I think it is a bit outdated. Today you have great apps/web pages for XMBC and squeezebox on Android and Iphone. I think they work a lot better and look nicer too! So I'm not going to do any work on this applet, I'm going to buy a android phone :-).
But the lua language isn't that hard, so I would say give it a go. You just have to edit this applet.

Gr Robbin.

Menu to select XBMC clients

Any chance of a menu to select different XBMC clients, for instance I have XBMC installed on ATV2, mac mini with CrystalHD and my iPad even an old XBOX which I dont use any more. Would be nice to have a menu option to choose which system I was controlling rather than having to change i.p address.

BTW, great script. I love it, puts my Harmony One to shame

Does this run on the touch?

As my SB touch sits next to the TV it would be kind of cool if it could show now playing info on the touch display of what I'm watching on the TV, and of course allow me to browse to something else while still watching.

I'd want the reverse too. Som XMBC screen that just shows what's playing on the touch. Album art, playlist and track info etc.

Good god thank you man. I haven't tried it yet but at least you are trying something. I'm about to go freaking insane looking for reliable information for how to use squeezebox on a PC. Is it SoftSqueeze, SqueezePlay, what? And no, SqueezePlay isn't available on the Nightly Builds page.

SqueezePlay. And it's on the nightly build pages.

Hi,

Since there was no applet availible to control XBMC with the Squeezebox controller, I decided to make one. I must admid I'm not a great programmer, but hey everything seem to work fine. If you have suggestions / found bugs, can post them but I'm to onest I don't want to spend to much time anymore on this applet.
To install this applet simply unzip and put the new directory in "/usr/share/jive/applets"

The applet wasn't working with XBMC v10, so I did some modifications. There are some other issues fixed as well, for filenames with 'strange'characters and the iconbar is now working.

Well enjoy, Robbin.

Is it SoftSqueeze, SqueezePlay, what? And no, SqueezePlay isn't available on the Nightly Builds page. It seems like the entire squeezebox community was just left to rot and I only just now stumbled upon its corpse. There doesn't seem to be any plugin validation (many of them don't work at all) and the whole thing is just a big jumbled mess. And then you uploaded this - finally a bit of sanity in my world. Again, thanks.

... after taking a second look apparently this is for something else and isn't much help to me. Even so, good work man.
