Free slimserver on diskstation software for linux

Slimserver Control is a Amarok script that can control your Slimserver (play/stop) from Amarok.

Usage:

Run the script. On first run, it will ask for the Slimserver IP address, port and the Squeezebox MAC address. If in doubt for the answers, browse to your Slimserver home page, then, while playing a song, move your mouse over the "Play" button. You should see in the status bar of your browser a URL similar to this one:

http://localhost:9000/status_header.html?p0=play&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A9c%3Aaa

In this example:

Slimserver IP adddress = localhost

Slimserver port = 9000

Squeezebox MAC address = 00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A9c%3Aaa

Driver on demand is an attempt to ease driver installations in linux. Basically, what happens is that a user plugs any device into the computer, and if a driver isnt found, the client connects to a CGI server, to check if the device is known, and if its not in the database, then the driver lookup fails and the user is no worse off then they currently are.
However, if the device is found online, the driver information file (similar to .infs, just XML and more versatile) is analysed. If its built into newer versions of kernels, but theres a driver available, the driver is installed, but the system recommends strongly that the user upgrades their kernel, automatically, otherwise it just installs.
If the vendor chooses to, they can create their own driverinstall files, put it on their site, and put a reference on the Driver On Demand server, so the user will always have the newest files.. As opposed to having to wait for the admin to update their definitions.
To people who dont care about the specifics, all they need to care about is that if a device on their system needs a driver, this will find it on the internet, and install it for them automatically.
Main features:
- Uses HTTP/plaintext, so proxy compatible
- Allows the use of always up to date file.driverinstall files users can just click to install their latest hardware
- Takes the hassle of installing drivers away from the users
- XML based driver definitions, so extremely extendable, and is written in perl, so easy to edit and handle
- System handles licenses, allowing users to add them or remove licenses of drivers (promotes GPL drivers too, because that licence is accepted by default)
- Open source, GPL.. Which means u dont need to worry about licensing..
- Allows one click install of drivers (the first linux driver listing standard)
- Promotes Open source

So far, we have successfully ported a customized uClinux (http://www.uclinux.org) kernel to the iPod, and written a simple user interface for it dubbed podzilla. Many additional Applications have been written, adding many capabilities not found in Apples firmware.

Our bootloader allows for you to choose between either iPodLinux or Apples firmware each time you turn on your iPod. iPodLinux is currently safe to install on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation iPods.

We are currently accepting Donations towards the purchase of a fourth generation iPod for us to test with. The fourth generation click wheel, mini, U2, Photo, and Shuffle iPods are NOT currently supported. For the latest information on 4th gen development, read the Fourth Generation Project Status.

SlimScrobbler project will submit music files that you listen to on your Squeezebox to Last.FM, where it will show up on your recently-played list and count towards your listening statistics.
If you want to listen to Last.FM internet radio through your Squeezebox, then you also need James Craigs Last.FM plugin - and very good it is too.
Once upon a time there were two websites, one called Audioscrobbler, and one called Last.FM. Audioscrobbler tracked what you listened to on your PC; Last.FM provided personalised streaming radio.
In 2005 they merged completely and dropped the "Audioscrobbler" name. Thats why all the plugins for Last.FM tend to be called Scrobblers.
Enhancements:
- Changed tag submission format again!

Ruby on Rails SubList Plugin makes it easy to have dynamic lists of related models on a single editing page.

The plugin is designed for models with one or more has_many relationship with other models.

By using AJAX for adding and removing "sub-forms" one can present the user with a single edit page that creates/edits the parent model as well as all of the children.

Usage:

Place the sub_list directory in the vendor/plugins dir of your application.

In the controller which you wish to have a sub list displayed, add the following lines:

include UIEnhancements::SubList
helper :SubList

sub_list SubModel, parent do |new_research_student|
#Place any construction (ie. defaults) required here
end

Replace SubModel with the class name of the sub model you wish to make available.

Replace parent with the parent object.

For instance, if you wish to have a Person controller that has a sub list of Dogs for each person, the sub model would be Dog and the parent would be person. It is expected that @person would exist and that it contains a has_many relationship named dogs.

The Xbox Linux Project aims to privide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer.
Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.
An Xbox with Linux can be a full desktop computer with mouse and keyboard, a web/email box connected to TV, a server or router or a node in a cluster.
You can either dual-boot or use Linux only; in the latter case, you can replace both IDE devices. And yes, you can connect the Xbox to a VGA monitor.
Main features:
- You can run Linux on your Xbox!
- You can do it without a modchip!
- You can do it without opening your Xbox!
