Re: xAP Plug-in for SlimServer beta 3 release

["Martyn Wendon" <martynwendon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Edward,

I've just installed your slimserver plugin with a view to moving across
from
the old KCS conduit.

What message display schemas does it utilise?

With the xFx conduit I was using message.display class in all my scripts
but
this doesn't appear to be picked up by your plugin?


Thanks for your help,


Martyn

Huge thanks to all the feedback from the beta 2 testers.

Beta 3 is now available at:
http://www.edjo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/edward/xAP/Slim/slim_downloads.htm

Change Log:

beta3
14/11/06

Changed open_port in Comm.pm to use INADDR_LOOPBACK, INADDR_BROADCAST and
INADDR_ANY
rather than localhost, 255.255.255.255 and 0.0.0.0

Added configuration entry for xAP broadcast address. Defaults to
INADDR_BROADCAST.

Removed restriction in Slim_Item.pm and SlimServer_Item.pm that messages
need to be targetted.
BSC messages remain requiring a target as per spec.

Now tries 'no hub' mode before trying to connect to hub (Plugin.pm and
Comm.pm),
so should work without a hub.

Determined that CRC.pm should not be included in the distribution (required
functions in Comm.pm).

Fixed issues en-queuing and de-queuing display messages.

Removed attempt to force brightness on display messages;
SlimServer v6.5 reverts to pre-set message brightness on next display
refresh.

Tidied up web settings. Used in-line HTML to work around default skin CSS
line spacing issues.
Only tested with default skin.

Persist player subID values in player preferences.
Once an ID is allocated to a player it will keep that ID across restarts.
Previously done
on a first come (connect) first served basis at startup.

Fixed null pointer issue in song/transport data when no current playlist
exists for player.
