Squeezebox
Using the SqueezeBox Plugin
Displaying cover art for the current song
1. Create new camera device(s) for the room(s) equipped with Squeezebox(es)
2. Configure the new camera device(s):
- IP address: IP address and port of your Squeezebox Server (<ip address>:<port number>)
- Path: music/current/cover.jpg?player=<MAC address> (replace <MAC address> with the MAC address of the player; IP address should work too)
Using the SBS CLI
Luup/Lua skeleton
socket=require('socket')
local client = socket.connect('<IP address of SBS>', 9090)
client:send("<CLI command>\n")
local result=client:receive()
...
For a list of valid <CLI command> navigate to: SBS's Home / Technical Information / Help / Command Line Interface
Some examples for <CLI command>
<duration> does not work for Squeezebox Radio due to Slimdevices bug #15749.
Displaying text
Syntax:
<MAC address of player> display <line1> <line2> <duration>
Example:
client:send("00:04:20:XX:XX:XX display Hello%20World%201 Hello%20World%202 10\n")
'Pressing' a button on the Squeezebox remote
Syntax:
<MAC address of player> button <buttoncode>
Example:
client:send("00:04:20:XX:XX:XX button brightness_toggle\n")
client:send("00:04:20:XX:XX:XX button volume_up\n")
client:send("00:04:20:XX:XX:XX button volume_down\n")
<buttoncode> as defined in Default.map; telnet to your SBS port 9090, type 'subscribe button' (without quotes), press <RETURN>, press the buttons of the remote to get the buttoncodes.
Skipping to the previous/next track
Syntax:
<MAC address of player> playlist index <index|+index|-index|?> <fadeInSecs>
Example:
client:send("00:04:20:XX:XX:XX playlist index -1\n")
client:send("00:04:20:XX:XX:XX playlist index +1\n")
Pause/Unpause playing
Syntax:
<MAC address of player> pause <0|1|> <fadeInSecs> <suppressShowBriefly>
Example:
client:send("00:04:20:XX:XX:XX pause\n")
Changing the volume level
Syntax:
<MAC address of player> mixer volume <0 .. 100|-100 .. +100|?>
Example:
client:send("00:04:20:XX:XX:XX mixer volume +10\n")
client:send("00:04:20:XX:XX:XX mixer volume -10\n")
Switching players (undocumented and untested)
Syntax:
switchplayer from:<MAC address of player1> to:<MAC address of player2>
Example:
client:send("switchplayer from:00:00:00:00:00:01 to:00:00:00:00:00:02\n")
[Reference: http://www.mail-archive.com/plugins@lists.slimdevices.com/msg46077.html]
Playing a file
Syntax:
<MAC address of player> playlist play file:///<filename>
Example:
Windows: 77:d3:XX:XX:XX:XX playlist play file:///I:/NewMusic/Schwanensee%20(aus%20Kinderbuch)/Content/01%20-%20Track%201.flac
Synology NAS: 77:d3:XX:XX:XX:XX playlist play file:///disk1/music/file.mp3
Sending IR codes (SB2/3 and Transporter)
1. Plug an IR emitter into the phones jack of your Squeezebox/Transporter.
2. Install IRBlaster.
3. Restart your SBS.
4. Install the IR remote files for the IR devices you are going to control or use the IR-Learning Wizard (part of IRBlaster) to record the codes of your remote(s).
Now you are ready to send IR codes via Lua (adjust SBS_IP_address, SBS_CLI_port, playerid, remote_name, and command_name accordingly):
socket=require('socket')
local SBS_IP_address = '192.168.178.22'
local SBS_CLI_port = 9090
local playerid = '00:04:20:XX:XX:XX'
local remote_name = 'Onkyo_RC-738M' -- as defined in the LIRC configuration file for this remote
local command_name = 'PWR' -- as defined in the LIRC configuration file for this remote
local client = socket.connect( SBS_IP_address, SBS_CLI_port )
function sendIR( device_MAC, remote, command )
client:send( device_MAC .. ' irblaster send ' .. remote .. ' ' .. command .. '\n' )
client:receive()
end
sendIR( playerid, remote_name, command_name )
Successfully tested with: SBS 7.3.2, IRBlaster/IR-Learning wizard 5.4, Skymaster DVR 7400.

USP - Unified Squeezebox Plugin (Technology demo only)
http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,10020.0.html
squeezedVera and squeezedVeraScenes
squeezedVera is a plugin for the Logitech Squeezebox, and it gives you the possibility to run scripts in different ways that can control your z-wave devices through Vera.
squeezedVeraScenes will run the same scripts as squeezedVera but here you define conditions for when they shall run in a configuration file, e.g at sunset on Mondays and Tuesdays. You can also define different scenes with different behaviour.
