A [http://wiki.slimdevices.com/ Logitech Media Server] (a.k.a. SqueezeCenter) can be controlled in various ways,
including a Telnet [http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Logitech_Media_Server_CLI Command-Line Interface] (CLI)
or the [http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/XPL xPL plugin].

This [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPL_Protocol xPL] client allows to control a Logitech Media Server
running on a machine where there is no xPL hub installed.
The Media Server will be controlled via the [http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Logitech_Media_Server_CLI CLI].

Before all, make sure you have installed an [[install xpl hub|xPL hub]].

= Install xPL squeeze device =

Download the [http://www.dspc.ch/xPL/Downloads/xpl-squeeze.pl xPL squueze] script.

Move the script to xPL scripts directory:
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
mv xpl-squeeze.pl $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR
chown control:users $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/*.pl
chmod 775 $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/*.pl

= Test xPL squeeze device =

Test it on a [[install BeagleBone|BeagleBone]]:
su control
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-squeeze.pl -h
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-squeeze.pl -v -n test

Open a 2nd terminal window (on any machine with xPL installed) and monitor the xPL protocol:
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-monitor.pl -vf

Open another terminal and control the SqueezeCenter:
SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -v -d dspc-squeeze.controller -c slimserv.request command=list
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -v -d dspc-squeeze.StudySqueezeslav -c slimserv.request command=status
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -v -d dspc-squeeze.StudySqueezeslav -c slimserv.basic command=play
$SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -v -d dspc-squeeze.StudySqueezeslav -c slimserv.basic command='power 0'

= Launch the xPL squeeze device at startup =

The xPL SqueezeCenter controller is to start after the xPL hub.

== Ubuntu ==

On Ubuntu, the xPL squeeze device starts-up once <code>xpl-hub_started</code> has been emitted.

== Mac OS ==

On Mac OS, the xPL actions device starts-up later than the hub.
