Re: slimserver xpl module help

["rleong1" <rleong1@xxxxxxxxx>]

so i just did this.  i have some code i put up on my site:
kjsdoghouse.com/autohouse/scripts/slimxpl.zip

there's a few changes in here:
- sends xpl message when power toggles
since there's no defined schema to do this i just made one up:

XPL-STAT Structure
------------------
AUDIO.SLIMSERV
{
Status = <playingstoppedwhatever else?>
Update = <powered onpowered offany other random messages>
}

- sends audio.basic status message w/ title, artist, album when new
song starts playing
- sends audio.slimserv message with Update = "end of list" when
end of
playlist occurs.  this way i can automatically turn off my amps some
time after the music stops.

i'm not sure if i'm going to support this going forward.  it's just
something i'm goofing around w/.
