FooSQ proxy script for Squeezebox Options

[marae]

It's for using directly a Squeezebox with Foobar . Gapless . Enjoy

CODE

;============================== Start of FooSQ AutoIt script ==================================

; Author Marae; May 2008 - FooSQ

; FooSQ grab infos from Foobar windows title with an AutoIT script, then send "cli" command to SqueezeCenter.
; It is not necessary to wait for any rescan inside SqueezeCenter.
; Just add a folder/playlist inside Foobar (no tags needed), then press play (gapless).

; The time needed with my settings for adding a song in Now Playing then bufferize it is 10 sec.
; If we guess the next song, and we enqueue it 10 sec. before the end of the current one, it's gapless.
; Then FooSQ determine normal transition (remaining time pass by 0) or skip.
; AMIP guess the next song

; This is a first release, so you may see some Autoit error messages or desynchro sometime.

; To install:
; 1.- Install autoit and compile this script( http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml )
; 2.- Put %path%/%playback_time_remaining_seconds%/%ispaused%/ in Foobar pref. Display - Title Formating - Main windows title
; 3.- Install AMIP ( http://amip.tools-for.net/ds/dl.php?f=/fil...p_foobar_09.zip ), then restart Foobar.
; in Foobar Pref, Tools, Amip, Enable Amip, enable File C:\nextsong.txt and put $next(%fn) in "Play" Field
; 4.- Start Foobar, play a song, verify you have "Full path file name/Remaining sec./?/" in windows title, and C:\nextsong.txt is the next song. Stop Foobar
; 5.- Start this compiled script

; Seekbar move, repeat song, click on a playing song, more then one squeezebox not implemented

; Cli ref : file:///C:/Program%20Files/SqueezeCenter/server/HTML/EN/html/docs/cli-api.html

; Tested with Autoit v3.2.10.0 - Foobar 0.9.4.4 - AMIP 2.63

Thanks a lot!
But... excuse my complete ignorance... I already (sometimes) use foobar with squeezebox just connecting to http://192.168....:port , so... what's different with this script?
Is it faster?... what are it's benefits compared to a normal connection?

Thanks

You are talking about MP3 streaming. FooSQ is lossless with lossless files.
Flac are decoded to wav inside the SBox, APE, ALAC etc. in SCenter.

[Chipicui]

Oh...thanks!
My bad...
... you were talking about squeezebox while I was thinking about squeezecenter
Now I understand it... Thanks

[lex_nasa]

This script is fantastic - thank you!

Getting the right match of versions of the different software was quite tricky.

I'm running:

Windows 7 Ultimate
SqueezeCenter 7.3
Foobar 0.9.6.9
AMIP 2.65

Script compiled with AutoIt v3.3.6.0.

Everything works well, so you can completely bypass the SQ music library, so no need for constant "Look for new and changed music" rescans.

The script was unstable before but seems rock solid now compiled with AutoIt v3.3.6.0.

I have updated the script and it is now working successfully with Foobar2000 1.0.3 and AMIP 2.67.

Here's a super-streamlined version which is a little more robust. You need to remember to start Foobar first, but this version doesn't have the limitation of going out of sync every time you go into Foobar preferences. I've removed most of the error messages with the exception of a failure to connect with SqueezeCenter.

For those that can't be bothered messing around with AutoIt, here's link to a compiled .exe file (it's been virus checked):

http://www.at-sea.com/work/FooSQ.exe

You still need to follow the set-up instructions in the first message of this post.

A quick reminder about what this does....

This allows you to use Foobar2000 to playback through your SqueezeBox or Transporter boxes. Volume control and seekbar do not work.

greatz lex_nasa

happy that somebody have an interest about my dirty code

I have developped the code (still dirty) if you are interrested:

for any IR remote control:
toggle shuffle/normal
play next
next /previous album if big playlists are organized x:\album\artist
put foosq in windows startup, wait for browser, kill it , start foobar

add album art windows where I like, (based on folder.jpg, as I don't like the wasted space with the standard lay out

I am going to holidays, see you next month

Greetings lex_nasa

As there is at last ONE person interested by some code by itself, some updates after 2 years

Improved:

will work with more version of foobar (including 1.0.3) without code mods, just need to setup the location if not default
we can stay in Preferences or other confusing windows without hassle

New:

foosq must be started before foobar to remove some dependency about version
IR remote control, you need to learn code if remote control <> mac-mini
there is a fadout with a nice curve while playing with remote control: next, random and next/previous albums functions, then, volume 100%
pop up window cd cover on top where we like if needed, if folder.jpg in dirs

your nice volume code is not implemented, TBD

cheers
Marae

; The time needed with my settings for adding a new song/bufferize in SC is 10 sec.
; If we guess the next song, and we enqueue it 10 sec. before the end of the current one, it's gapless.
; Then FooSQ look for normal transition (remaining time pass by 0) or skip.
; AMIP guess the next song

; To install:
; 0.- Install autoit ( http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml )
; 1.- Check "custom variables" below and modify those if needed, compile this script using "Compile Script to .exe" in Autoit start menu
; 2.- Put %path%/%playback_time_remaining_seconds%/%ispaused%/ in Foobar pref. Default User Interface - Window title
; 3.- Install AMIP, then restart Foobar.
; in Foobar Pref, Tools, Amip, Enable Amip, enable "Write song info to file" then File: C:\nextsong.txt and $next(%fn) in "Play:" Field
; 4.- Start Foobar, play a song, verify you have "Full path file name/Remaining sec./?/ [foobar2000 ...]" in window title, and C:\nextsong.txt is the next song. Quit Foobar
; 5.- SC must be running, start FooSQ, foobar will start ... Press play on your favorite song, Enjoy


; Other Foobar settings:
; Enable "Playback follows cursor" on and also the opposite in Playback menu
; WARNING: "Resume playback after restarting ..." in Preference Playback is NOT possible without desynchro
; Seekbar move, Volume, and more then one squeezebox not implemented

;BUG:
; if you disable some IP connectivity (e.g wifi) and use for exemple "File open" in a previously remote enabled location,
; foobar will freeze, then foosq will stop

; with this code it's possible to use the mac-mini remote control = IR

; IR keys

; right -> next song
; left -> toggle default / shuffle tracks
; up -> skip up previous album in PL, play new album now
; down -> skip down next album in PL, play new album now
; Alt - up -> Same but wait for the end of the current song. All PL album up/down disabled before to play new song (difficult to guess cursor pos. , foobar cannot return cursor pos)
; Alt - down -> Same
; menu -> Alt code for 5 sec
; center -> random skip in PL

; to use another remote control, find the IR codes:
; Command Prompt: "telnet 127.0.0.1 9090" (default)
; "listen 1" + Return
; play with your remote control (do not use the slim device one !!), then replace in this script $m_ir_*

; for fade out on IR next etc, set SC options, Player, audio, Volume control adjust

; Cli ref : file:///C:/Program%20Files/SqueezeCenter/server/HTML/EN/html/docs/cli-api.html

; V 0.1 initial
; V 0.2 add IR
; V 2010.1.3 next / previous album skip with IR, fade out when some IR interruption
; V 2010.1.5 choice for next / previous album : play now or wait for the end of the current song
; V 2010.1.6 album cd cover art
; V 2010.1.8 remove dependency about foobar version:(works with foobar windows handle #), foobar is considered idle when foobar title begin with:
; "foobar2000", and end with a number. Now we can go to foobar preferences without hassle.
; WARNING: to be shure to get the correct handle #, foobar NEED be started with foosq (msgbox provided if foobar is running)

; In rare case, you may see some Autoit error messages or foosq stop, just restart foosq again, then press OK

oups cut and past problem ...

will see, sorry

[Yirkha]

Perhaps you could use some external storage for the scripts rather than pasting them here inside the posts? It would guarantee no characters (including even whitespace) are lost due to forum formatting, converted to emoticons or whatever. And for example pastebin.com allows you to show differences between subsequent revisions, which might be handy too.

[marae]

Thanks for the guidance
I have posted the script in the squeezebox forum, because attachments are possible. Now indentation is preserved

Mmmm... can't get this to compile properly or run in Win 7. You prefer to get the handle from the Windows API rather than using the Win CLASSID to identify the correct app? I'm guessing that my method doesn't work reliably if you're running FB2K on a Mac Mini? I admire all the work you've done on the IR stuff BTW.

>can't get this to compile properly or run in Win 7
Unfortunately, I don't have windows 7

>You prefer to get the handle from the Windows API rather than using the Win CLASSID to identify the correct app? I'm guessing that my method doesn't work reliably if you're running FB2K on a Mac Mini
I have developed all the code with foobar 0.9.4 and the class id is different, so the idea was to find an universal solution for all F2k version (it's work on win xp)


All the code was really solid on foobar 0.9.4 , now I am facing bugs with 1.03 with IR codes (especially up/down in PLs) , I will try to solve it

About your volume code, I think that it is not a good idea to do digital volume on 16 bits sources (distortion) , but I will try to adapt my fade out lines

After, I think I will be finished from my side, all I need is there

I am just curious, do you have had feedback elsewhere then hydro/slim device forums about all the super documentation you have made on your site or successful use ?

Cheers

[marae]

I have posted a new version in slim device forum, see release notes
If you are still unable to compile/use with windows 7, try to comment _WinAPI_GetForegroundWindow() (and disable cover art: $m_size = 0 )
give me the error messages
cheers

Hi! This works OK so far - nice job!

Many thanks to lex_nasa for the brilliant idea to use CLASS id for controlling the windows

Before to say bye bye for a while, I do a poll

- I am using only the lex_nasa version, don't need other function
- I am using IR
- I am using CD cover art pop up
- I like the fade out
- I am using skip album in playlists
- I am interested with seekbar move
- I don't use, I don't know how to do it
- I don't use, it's not working or too much bugged

Cheers

I got no feedback atall from SlimDevices forum, even after setting up the web page and hosting the compiled binary - I guess not enough people are interested. Oh well... thanks Marae again for your effort.

[marae]

You too ! and, thanks a lot for your ideas
I will come back in October, I am just curious to see if more people have some interest and will answer to the poll.
Good bye

last comments,

remove Send($m_tcp, "listen 1" & @CRLF)
it's only used when you retrieve info from SC

in your site "this should now work with ANY version of Foobar2000 " false : classid change with older version ...

new code: (not posted before some interrest)
random cd cover if not available, to show my other albums to my friends
seekbar move
as it was buggy resynch: after 30sec, look for remaining time in SC, if desynchro , adjust. also for very long foosq sessions

cheers

I'm interested, particularly in seekbar move... have amended my my version of the script, will do web site soon. Thanks!

[marae]

About seekbar move the idea is simple, if the difference of time during one loop is greater then lets say 3 sec, you take this new time and send it to SC

BUT

the next song (queued) start in SC sometime 20 sec later then expected. This a random bug from SC (I have 7.2 and don't want to change) .
So the choice is to disable gapless (no next song enqueued) as soon as seekbar is moved. After of course you enable gapless again

I will publish the code lets say in one month, it's need to be tested a little more and I am busy.

Great, I look forward to it... thanks again for your effort!
