RE: SliMP3 & Homeseer...

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Simple really, I just used Homeseer's "getURL" script function to
call into 
the SliMP3 webserver, with the approriate command URLs as documented in the
manual.

EG: hs.geturl "jukebox:9000", 
"/display?p1=Test%20Message&p2=From%20Homeseer&p3=5",TRUE,9000

Displays:

Test Message
>From Homeseer

on the Slim's display for 5 seconds...

Whereas:   hs.geturl "jukebox:9000",
"/play",TRUE,9000 will start the Slim 
playing...

these can also be used to get return values back from the player to query
for status, so the above line modified to:

result = hs.geturl "jukebox:9000",
"/play.html",TRUE,9000

Will start the Slim playing, and will return the status as well. (Note the
addition of the .html suffix on the play command, - this tells the Slim
webserver to return the player status as html, alternatively, a .m3u suffix
can be used to tell it to return the result in a .m3u file instead.

Full details of all this stuff is documented here:

If Ace/HV can invoke a web request via a URL, then you should be able to
adapt these methods to either of those....
