[SlimDevices: Plugins] Triode's plugins

As many of you might have noticed Google finall pulled the plug on their
code hosting sites. This means that many 3rd party plugins are no longer
available to the Squeezebox users.

For many the most painful loss will be Triode's collection of excellent
exentions for LMS as well as players. I therefore decided to provide
access to his download files through my web server
(triodeplugins.herger.net).

I'm not sure whether this will work transparently or whether you'll be
prompted to update etc. But I'll give it a try anyway.

Please note that I do NOT plan to do any maintenance work or support for
these plugins. I only provide the web space to guarantee access to the
plugins and applets.

Hi,

I have several Squeezebox Touch devices with Enhanced Digital Output
(EDO) installed on each of them. It has always worked well for me, and
is very important to me as I have a growing collection of music at
sample rates up to 192 kHz.

Ever since Logitech stopped manufacturing Squeezebox units I have been
concerned that the day will come when EDO will become unavailable to me,
in the event that I need to reinstall it on one of my devices for some
reason. From the post below it sounds like that day has arrived, or is
at least getting closer.

I am not a programmer. But I have wondered whether it is possible to
store the code for EDO on a computer on my local home network, and
direct my Squeezebox Touches to install EDO from the local machine
instead of over the Internet as in the past. I actually would be
willing to pay a programmer for their time to investigate and set this
up for me, and carefully walk me through the steps that I need to take
on my end. I think the Touch with the EDO enhancement is a great
product, and I would like to use it for many years into the future for
my music listening. I am willing to make this investment if it makes
that possible.

Is anyone interested in helping?

Thank you.

Hi,

In the meantime, it's possible to perform a manual installation :

Thank you so much for the tip! I have SCP-accessed one of my SBT units
and I see the EnhancedDigitalOutput directory, and the files there were
referenced in your post. However, the posted files contain an
additional file, named jive_alsa, that is not present in my current
installation of EDO. What does this file do? Is it necessary to
install it?

Thank you for the help.

Hi,

Absolutely no idea.... I did this, after uninstalling in error the
applet and it worked... People who know better SBT functioning could
propose another / correct my manual solution or propose an automatic
solution or update hosting applet as Mherger proposal (1000 thx BTW!).

Yes, around January 2015 for most plugins.

i think we should be happy with Michaels solution - cause if Michael
decided one day to stop wasting his time....

A "local" repository is only useful for abandoned plugins - but its
quite easy to setup.

Michael, I really appreciate you hosting Triode's plugins, but when I
got to "triodeplugins.herger.net" I only get the message "Thanks for
your interest". No files, no .XML
Did I miss something?

cheers

No, you don't need to go there nor see anything in there. Just go to
Settings/Plugins and install whatever you need. It's part of the main
repository file.

I found this info through messing about with the iPlayer plugin. Just
wanted to say thank you very much for hosting the files.

Unfortunately I was not aware of the shutdown of the Google code repo
and of its importance for us SBT addicts :(. When I accidentally reset
one of my SBTs I lost the EDO app and the required kernel patch. Thanks
God I found this most valuable thread but there is nothing being said
about where to get the kernel patch files and how to apply it after
manual install of the EDO files.

Michael Herger's replacement repo for Triode's apps apparently does not
contain any apps - no difference after inserting the URL-string into
LMS's additional repo line and restarting the server.

Manual install of the files worked fine but since the required kernel
patches were missing the EDO plugin is defunct.

Please help...
