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. This doesn't make use of the legacy xPL control interface.
Before all, make sure you have installed an xPL hub.

Activate xPL
Browse to the web interface on yourServer:9000
.
Click on Settings
on the bottom right.
Selcet the tab Plugins
and then enable xPL Interface
.
Restart the server:
su service squeezeboxserver status service logitechmediaserver status service logitechmediaserver restart
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
