[mythtv-users] MythSqueezebox2 plugin for MythTV 0.22

[George Galt]

All:

I've created a new version of the mythsqueezebox plugin for use on
MythTV 0.22.  Please be aware that this is currently alpha-quality
software.  There are many things that still need to be done, and many
bugs to stamp out.  But to whet your appetite, I've uploaded a video
of what the plugin looks like here:

Features include a hack-together coverflow display of album artwork,
ability to control all devices connected to your Squeezebox server,
display and use of the standard Squeezebox/Slimp3 menus.

Currently, there is only SVN checkout at svn co
https://mythsqueezebox.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mythsqueezebox/mythsqueezebox2
mythsqueezebox2  NOTE: PLEASE USE THIS COMMAND, rather than the one
Sourceforge suggests as I've maintained the old pre-0.22 plugin on the
same SVN repository and you'll get both if you use Sourceforge's svn
command.

The dependencies for the plugin that are in addition to the standard
mythtv setup are: MythTV 0.22 or greater (this will not work with
0.21), QT 4.5 or greater, Squeezeserver 7.4 or greater, portaudio 0.19
or greater, curses (used to pretend there is a display for
Squeezeserver to send display messages to).

There are many bugs still, and I'll work on them as I have time
available.  If you want to help, please let me know.  All comments,
suggestions, criticisms, etc. are welcome (or at least accepted).

P.S.  I just wanted to say a thank you to Isaac and the other
developers who have done an outstanding job with MythTV 0.22.  I use
the system every day, and I couldn't imaging living without it.  In
addition, it has provided hours of entertainment, both in hacking it
and in trying to understand it better.  I know that it won't be
apparent from the state of the code of this plugin, but I've learn a
lot from looking over the code for MythTV.
