Downloads
Installation
v2.x Beta testers should
delete the contents of the Plugins/xAP folder
before installing.
When upgrading versions delete
the old version first.
xAP Plugin for SqueezeCenter is
downloaded as a single
zip file. The plugin is packaged using the Slim Devices PluginBuilder
tools so to install you just take the xAP folder
that's in the downloaded zip file and copy it to
the 3rd party Plugins folder (on Windows
probably C:\Program
Files\SqueezeCenter\server\Plugins). Restart the
server and checkout the plugin's settings
page on the web interface.
The Slim Devices' plugin
installation and troubleshooting are on the
Slim Devices Wiki.
To see that the plugin is
functioning check that you can see xAP Heartbeat
messages coming from the server (eg, using
xFx Viewer).
You should also see BSC info messages for each
of the attached players.
There's an HTML manual page in
the Docs folder of the xAP plugin folder and
online
here. There
are also various example and test xAP messages
in there too.
Extension Downloader (beta)
The xAP Plugin can be
automatically downloaded, updated and installed
using the Extension Downloader functionality new
in SqueezeCenter v7.3. To try this out, manually
uninstall the plugin (delete the xAP folder from
the server/plugins directory), restart the
server then add the URL:
http://www.erspearson.com/xAP/Slim/Updates.xml
to the Additional Repositories list on the
Extension Downloader page on the SqueezeCenter
web interface (open Settings page, open Advanced
tab, select Extension Dowloader from the
drop-down menu). |
