0.5.5 pushed, fixes the broken progress bar, woops.

Is there any way to mute the player?
Or is there any CLI-command or something i can use to mute the player?

My workaround:
i'm using a "fritz.box"-internet router whith some extras. (common german router)
one of these extras is the ability to send commands, when a telephone call comes in etc.
the command-line (using for my squeezebox-radio in the kitchen) to mute the player is
Code:
in:request ^ ^ echo 00:04:20:28:d7:32 mixer muting 1 | telnet 192.168.1.28 9090i've tried the same with the softplayer XSqueeze (while changing the mac to 0....1), but it didn't work.
so i have set the synchronisation "RELATIVE VOLUME SYNCHRONIZATION" to YES ... now both players mute when the phone is ringing.
so far...

I haven't got a remote here but I think mute on your remote should work - is that not so? Mute is a bit tricky with xbmc IIRC as it behaves a little differently on different systems.
I just tried F8 on my keyboard and that appears to mute XSqueeze audio for me, but yeah if you have a fancy router like that then I would send a pause on incoming phone and an unpause when the call is over....better than mute, that's how the iPhone etc. do it and it works well.
I've just checked and I do send the (palyer) the 'muting' signal through for mute at xvmc, so it should work.

That was me.
I also had a look at getting XSqueeze running on Openelec and Raspbmc - but neither have the Broadcom ALSA sound module (snd-bcm2835) (because it is described as "alpha" quality and hence might cause sound problems as people try to get XBMC working on RPi).
However, one hurdle for XSqueeze in the install phase is that the platform detection part in constants.py does not know that it is running on ARM.
So it thinks it is "Intel" Linux - and the binary cannot work.
I don't think that there is a System.Platform.Armel (or whatever it should be) so might need a little request to whoever is leading the RPi port to add one (I presume that it would still need to set System.Platform.Linux as well).
The binaries for ARM are built from the Contrib section of the Squeezeplay - and the binary is in the distribution anyway (link in my blog posting).
Running Squeezeplay on Openelec fro RPi fails because it cannot find libasound.so.2
There is also now a Squeezeplug distribution for RPi

I'm pleased to find out it isn't just me that would like to run a combination of XBMC and XSqueeze on the Raspberry Pi. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if anyone figures it out!

You mean *squeezeslave* not squeezeplay I think? XSqueeze uses slave,. not play as I don't think a headless/without LUA squeezeplay is currently possible. Also, squeezeslave is well known to have better sync, probably the primary goal for many.
I think sys.platform.arm will come in good time, once XBMC is nearer to officially available for ARM in some form or other.
I will certainly have a play and be asking for this once I have one

Sorry - yes I meant SqueezeSlave not SqueezePlay.

That's exactly my game plan for the Pi too.

Is there a reason i can't get this work work on snow leopard with XBMC dharma
I tried both computers and i just get a script error when i try to launch it. If i go into the setup of the add on, after a few seconds XBMC crashes on both computers.
