Hi all (again),
It been so long ago so now I made a new plugin. I had a long discussion with myself and finally got to the conclusion that it was easier to make a new dedicated plugin then to try and squeeze it in to Channels. So here it is the PMS plugin to enable you to access Subsonic servers. Subsonic? Whats this? If you don't know what Subsonic is have a look here http://subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp in short it is a piece of software that allows you to share your (mostly) music everywhere in a controlled manner.
So this sounds cool right? So how do you activate the PMS Subsonic plugin? Simply download the file (unpack the zip) and dump in the plugins directory. Now you need to perform two separate configuration steps:
1) To your PMS.conf add a line subsonic.servers = name1,url1 name2,url2 ...namen,urln. You replace name1...n with some nice name (any string will do this is what will be shown in XMB) for example Bobs and the url1..n is the url to the server for example http://your-server/
2) To the PMS.cred (if you don't have this file, if you run SHB you do, just creat a new file in the sam dir as PMS.conf) add one per server of format subsonic.name=usr,pwd
where name is replaced with the nameform the server config in the PMS.conf. Make sure that you spell it correctly, it is case sensitive (that is Bob is not the same as bob) and usr is the username on the server and pwd is the password.
And thats is! Now just start/restart the PMS and all your servers will be found at your root level. Note that the plugin will add the word "Subsonic" to the name of your server (so it will read "Bobs Subsonic" on the XMB). Currently only music is supported and only mp3s.
