xAP Plug-in for SlimServer beta release

Now avaliable on www.erspearson.com is an all new xAP interface for Slim
Devices SlimServer.
The plug-in is entirely written in Perl (like SlimServer) and uses the
SlimServer software plugin API to add xAP functionality directly into
SlimServer itself.
This is a beta release so I expect there to be bugs (please report these to
the developer group http://groups.yahoo.com/xap_developer).
Functionality is intended to reproduce that of the earlier
xAPFramework-based conduit with the addition of BSC control of power and
volume for each player. Since this is a complete re-write with a different
architecture in a different language (that I learned for this project) and
I
had no access to the previous version's source code there are likely to be
changes in behaviour between the old conduit and this plugin.
Documentation is still being created but I know there are some folks out
there who are eagerly awaiting this since the old conduit (which used the
Slim command line API) does not play well with recent versions of
SlimServer.
The plug-in requires SlimServer v6.5.
Supported message classes/blocks are:
Class=xAPBSC.Info, Event, Cmd, Query
Class=xAP-Audio.Transport
Audio.Transport
Audio.Seek
Class=xAP-Audio.Audio[.Event]
Audio.Mute
Audio.Mixer
Class=xAP-Audio.Query

Class=xAP-Audio.Schedule[.Event]
Schedule.Sleep
Class=xAP-Audio.Playlist

Playlist.Move
Playlist.Edit
Playlist.Album
Playlist.Repeat
Playlist.Shuffle
Class=xAP-Audio.Playlist.Event

Class=SliMP3.Server
Server.Command
Player.Query

Class=xAP-OSD.Display
Display.SliMP3
Class=SliMP3.Display
Display.Query
Class=SliMP3.Button
Button.Command
Button.Notification
Class=SliMP3.IR
IR.Command
IR.Notification
Class=SliMP3.Event
IR.Event
Button.Event
Display.Event
There is an option in the config UI to change the schema names between
'SliMP3.*' (for legacy compatability) and 'Slim.*' which is better aligned
with Slim Devices current product naming. I suggest new integration uses
the
'Slim' naming convention.
Note that the addressing scheme has been brought into line with current
practice; the players appear as sub-addresses rather than instances of the
main address. And the vendor ID has changed from 'KCS' to 'ersp'.
Old: KCS.SliMP3.<server>.<player>
New: ersp.slimserver.<server>:<player>
Enjoy
Edward
