SSC for RSP

[tri]

Well Hello There

Just took a peek into the new stuff. Nice. However, it would be nice
to have SSC enabled also for RSP plugin.

There was some slight anomaly with RSP if the artist name starts with
an Ä letter. It gets sorted in Roku as * class and the name doesn’t
show correctly. Using DAAP it is in A class and shows also otherwise
just as it’s supposed to.

Not sure which side that error is on. I’m trying to get ahold of an example db so I can repro it.

Would you be willing to email me your db? [email protected]? I think it’s on the sb firmware side, but I want to doublecheck that.

nm. I’ve got a db. As far as the transcoding, it’s high on my list. It’s just kind of wedged into the daap stuff. I need to decouple it from the daap front end. Probably would help to move the daap output to a plugin as well. Would probably enforce better componentization.

There is a bad utf-16 to utf-8 conversion on .wma, fixed by 1007, that might be it.

need to rescan after patching, obviously.

OK, I’ll test it, but I probably won’t have time to do it today.

What comes to SSC, actual output stuff is quite nicely isolated
to ssc.[ch], but yes, there are some uncomfortable links.

I made a caching version of ssc script. It enables nicely ff/rw
operations when you access the server with itunes and is also
otherwise quite neat. However, it can only be used in a server
system with quite much memory and spare disc. I can contribute
the stuff later when I have time to repack it. Meanwhile maybe
you could give a gentle push to Roku people to implement ff/rw for
Soundbridge.

word up!

I read that as: defenitely not on a NSLU2. too bad.

Exactly. Sorry.

Yeah, it’s the dummying-up-the-metainfo part that’s too close to daap. I need to do that a layer before that.

ff/rw would be nice. Wonder why they don’t do it? I’m not sure what kind of position I’m in to push that, but I’ll certainly use what little pull I have. 🙂
