xAP Plug-in v2.2.0 for SqueezeCenter v7.x released



Following many months of beta testing, a xAP plug-in for SqueezeCenter
v7.x
is now available.

xAP Plug-in v2 for SqueezeCenter is a second generation, pure-Perl
implementation of a xAP connector for this platform. The previous version,
released in 2006 supported server software v6.x (SlimServer) and followed
on
from the original .Net version. This version has been revised to work with
v7.x SqueezeCenter software, features significantly enhanced message
display
functionality as well as numerous other enhancements and bug fixes. And
documentation!

The xAP plug-in for SqueezeCenter supports messages from these xAP schema
specifications:
* Basic Status and Control (BSC) v1.3
* Audio and Media Control v2.2 with SqueezeCenter-specific extensions
* On Screen Display (OSD) with SqueezeCenter-specific extensions.

The plug-in provides two-way xAP communication for SqueezeCenter with the
following main functions:
* Player power and volume control with xAP BSC
* Player transport control
* Player mixer control
* Player message display
* Playlist management
* Server control
* Access to low-level remote button and IR codes.

The plug-in can be found at:

The primary place for support of the plug-in will be on the Slim Devices
