jukebox [player of mp3, ogg, mpc, mikmod, wav, flac files] - Page 2

Hey firekat, so you used iLiad main memory all the time?

I will fix shell scripts to delete the old database before mpc gets the order to update database. Then 1 time running of "update database script" is enough.

You can use iLiad as a CF card reader. It's in the iLiad settings which memory get's mounted when you connect iLiad with travel hub/usb cable.

Of course. See mikmod formats list in #1.

firekat · 05-03-2008, 07:27 PM

No, I wrote all the files to the CF card on my home computer. Don't use the internal memory for much of anything except for a few files which the iLiad came with. While I am out and about I only have my laptop which is equipped with an SD slot which is convenient for loading other iLiad content. I will give the travel hub USB connection and reading CF card a shot when I get the chance.

Thanx!

This is... well.. time consuming to figuring out. There isn´t really any installation manual lying around which explains everything, how to install mpd, gimmix and this jukebox. It´s certainly not for the average user out there.

Just to install mpd I have to get a c compiler in there. Is that part of the developer package, may be?

Do you have read the Readme, which is included in the zip file?

Yep. Do I have to install mpd first and do some "magic"?

I get this:
ERROR: Gimmix couldn´t connect to mpd. Check whether mpd is running. Also check that you have specified the proper hostname, port and password in tilde/.gimmix

Update: I turned iliad off for the night. Woke up, started the iliad, and suddenly gimmix worked.. And yes, I had tried to restart iliad before. Case solved anyhow now :-)

Oh, fine.
I just wanted you to check the mpd configuration whether the paths are set correct inside.

Is there anybody out there who wants to listen to internet radio on iLiad?
If yes, it will be included in next version.

Thanks very much for the player. And, yes, I'd love to be able to listen to Internet radio on the iLiad.

Amount of 2 [you and me] is critical mass. ;-)
It's quite cool to have it. A new toy.

The best way is to use iliad-regutils to get a clickable pls/m3u file-type in contentlister, so users can download 1k radio stations & can switch easily. Right now I load them in shell.

Ogg vorbis stream works of course, too.
Like these here:
icecast streaming directory -- streams & radios: http://dir.xiph.org/index.php

Hi yokos,

I finally got around to trying this, and it is amazing! You also did a great job with the documentation. You have called it a "readme" and I was expecting a simple text file, but you have created a nicely formatted PDF. Very nice work.

The reason I finally got around to installing this is that I am also interested in using it to listen to internet radio. Specifically I have installed squeezecenter and now stream music to a couple of PCs at home (and to my machine at work). I am going to buy at least one squeezebox (eventually) to connect to my music system, but I am also looking for something to use while I wander around the house and I think the iliad, combined with what you have done here, will do it. I'm also going to try out connecting to the squeezecenter using a browser on the iliad to see if it can be used to control the music server.

So, I am very interested in having a way to listen to internet radio on the iliad. All I need to do is play http://192.168.0.2:9000/stream.mp3 Is that easy to do?

Thanks again for a great piece of work!

yokos · 06-11-2008, 03:19 AM

Thanks daudi for the kind words.
The "Readme" of next version will be 12+ pages long [rewritten, more screenshots, references to libraries etc.]. ;-) Internet radio section isn't written yet. ;-)

Yepp, this way it goes. ;-) Playlists are clickable in Contentlister, see screenshot.

daudi · 06-11-2008, 05:13 PM

Thanks for this. Very cool. I can now listen to my entire music and podcast collection plus internet radios anywhere in the house using the iliad (and in principle from anywhere else with an internet connection if I set ssh up for this or forward connections to port 9000). After making the wireless connection all that is needed is:

Code:

mpc clear
mpc add http://192.168.11.2:9000/stream.mp3
mpc play

I have not yet tried using the browser to control the squeezebox yet, but this is working nicely so far. I am starting to think about getting some powered speakers for this, making a stand for the iliad and speakers and maybe downloading and displaying album covers on the iliad. Don't hold your breath though ...
BTW, would you mind sharing the regutils invocation for getting playlists to run from the contentlister?

yokos · 06-11-2008, 06:05 PM

Heh, daudi. Streaming internet radio with jukebox 3.1.1 is possible?
Uhh, nice information; I just thought libshout [not included in 3.1.1] is needed for streaming in general; my fault.

"Better"/more complex mpd clients have built-in cover support.

"internet radio pls m3u playlists in CL" installation script is attached.

[EDIT:] updated attached scripts:
v0.2
# removed "no spaces in spaces in playlist's file name allowed" bug
# added deinstallation script

BinaryDigitz · 07-31-2008, 09:45 AM

Hi....Having just installed JukeBox 311, I ran gimmix, then "Contentlister based Control of mpd". This caused an error...something about the .gimmixrc file (can't remember). I tried again today and all programs work. I can see one of the two MP3's I added.

My question is....How do I get the MP3 to play. I read the doc's and ran gimmix, but cannot seem to get the MP3 to run.
Someone please help.

BinaryDigitz · 08-03-2008, 07:44 AM

Hi All,
Just thought I would tell you I soved the issue.
It would appear my Iliad shipped with the sound turned off.

Although I do have another question.
I want to play the MP3 file output through a sound system in my gymnastics gym...for a womans floor routine.

The output is very low.

Is there any way of increasing the volume?
