SBCloudPlayer

=============

SBCloudPlayer is a plugin for Squeezebox that provides integration with

Amazon's Cloud Player service. All the albums, artists, and songs on a

Cloud Player account can be played on any Squeezebox device connected to

a server with this plugin enabled.

Installation

------------

To install SBCloudPlayer, you will first need to install the cloudplaya_

utility application. This provides a set of command line utilities that

SBCloudPlayer will use to communicate with Amazon.

.. _cloudplaya: http://github.com/chipx86/cloudplaya/

You must first have Python Setuptools installed. This should be available

through your Linux distribution, or by downloading a setup file for Windows.

Once that's installed, you can install cloudplaya by typing::

    $ sudo easy_install cloudplaya

You will then want to add this plugin to your server.

If you are working off of the Git checkout, just copy this source tree into a

subdirectory named ``SBCloudPlayer`` in your Squeezebox Plugins directory. For

example::

    $ sudo cp -av . /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Plugins/SBCloudPlayer

Otherwise, download_ a copy and extract the files in the

``chipx86-sbcloudplayer-*`` directory to the Plugins directory as above.

.. _download: https://github.com/chipx86/sbcloudplayer/zipball/master

Then restart your Squeezebox service.

Configuration

-------------

You will need to authenticate once with your Amazon username and password.

Go into ``Settings -> Advanced -> SBCloudPlayer``, enter your Amazon

username and password, and hit ``Apply``.

Authentication might take several seconds to complete.

Note that your password will not be stored anywhere. It is only used to get

an authentication token.

Usage

-----

Once you have authenticated, you can close the settings and go back

to your main Squeezebox UI. You should see an Amazon Cloud Player entry

under ``My Apps``. Just browse for what you want to play!

Known Problems

--------------

I suspect that the URLs for streaming songs change every so often. Right now,

we cache the URLs, but this doesn't seem to be a good long-term solution.

If this is a proble, clear out your

``/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/sbcloudplayer.db*`` caches.
