A Logitech Media Server (a.k.a. SqueezeCenter) can be controlled in various ways, including a Telnet Command-Line Interface (CLI) or the xPL plugin.
This 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 CLI.
Before all, make sure you have installed an xPL hub.

[hide]Install xPL squeeze device
Download the 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 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 xpl-hub_started
has been emitted.
Edit /etc/init/xpl-actions.conf

Start the device and test it:
su root service xpl-squeeze start service xpl-squeeze status initctl list | grep xpl SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR=/home/control/Documents/Controls $SCRIPTS_BASE_DIR/xpl-send.pl -v -d dspc-squeeze.StudySqueezeslav -c slimserv.basic command=play
Mac OS
On Mac OS, the xPL actions device starts-up later than the hub.
Edit /Library/LaunchDaemons/xpl-squeeze.plist
