Squeezebox¶

Supported Hardware¶

Tested with: * Logitech Squeezebox Radio

Should work with other Squeezebox players as well - please let me know!

plugin.conf¶

[squeezebox]
    class_name = Squeezebox
    class_path = plugins.squeezebox
#    host = <server>
#    port = <port>

Description of the attributes:

• host: IP or hostname of the Logitech Media Server if not local
• port: Port number of the Logitech Media Server if not 9090

items.conf¶

You can use all commands available by the telnet-interface.

For a explanation of all available commands see http://<server>:9000/html/docs/cli-api.html

Up to four identifier strings are used: * squeezebox_playerid: used in the parent item to allow using <playerid> placeholder in the children * squeezebox_send: used to set the item * squeezebox_recv: used to get notifications when running * squeezebox_init: used to query the item at start-up

Fields: * <playerid>: gets replaced by the player-id set in the parent item * {}: the value of the item is written to this placeholder (don’t use if a fixed/no value is required)

You should verify all your commands manually by using the telnet-interface on port 9090.
