TiVo media server beacon

While putting together a small TiVo media server (composed of an http server and some support code along with a media library) I hacked together a very simple beacon so my TiVo would pickup the new server. The TiVo media server protocol has since changed, however, rendering my old code obsolete (besides, using an http server to serve MP3s to my TiVo isn't the use model I want).

IRIX XMMS audio plugin

I wanted to make the Indy I have at home into an MP3 jukebox, so I wrote an output plugin for XMMS to play to the SGI audio library. It also seems to work on my O2 at work. Here's the source, I've put it under the GPL.

SGI Audio Library Output Plugin for XMMS 1.0pre

News:

• 7/25/00 - Fixed a stupid bug that prevented the plugin from playing anything but 44 kHz files.
• 3/9/00 - Released a new version. Uses autoconf now.
• 2/23/00 - Got e-mail from Manuel Panea (maintainer of the other SGI output plugin). He's interested in merging our plugins to save us both work. He's busy now, but hopefully this will happen soon.
• 1/11/00 - Fixed a bug that made the balance control reversed

Todo:

• Implement the output device selection dialog
• Fix the output time function so that the spectrum analyzer works after moving the slider
• Write CD playing support w/CDDB using the CDaudio library?
