Command-line interface: SlimRoku has several command-line flags (the command-line can be specified either manually via telnet, or by editing the SlimRoku.roku file). To add a command-line option permanently, locate the SlimRoku.roku file and open it in a text editor that supports unix format such as TextPad. Locate the line that reads "$SXPATH/SlimRoku.app" and add the flag(s) to the end of it. SlimRoku.app [SlimServerIP] [-Debug] [-EnableWrapAround] [-UseLargeFont] [-LargeCoverArt] [-NoInfoOnHide] [-UseXMLInLibrary] [-Screensaver=minutes] [-RepeatMode=mode] [ShuffleMode=mode] [PlaylistId=id] [SlimCLIPort=port] [SlimWebPort=port] SlimServerIP The IP address of the SlimServer. If no IP address is specified, SlimRoku will attempt to locate the server automatically. -Debug Generates a debug.txt file in the app folder. -EnableWrapAround Changes wrapping behavior of lists in Library view. -UseLargeFont Enables larger fonts in the application. -LargeCoverArt Displays larger cover art in the Cover Art browser -LowContrast Uses a slightly darker font to help reduce screen retention on some plasma displays. -NoInfoOnHide Specifies that no info should be displayed when the application is hidden. -NoSSOnHide Specifies that the screensaver should be disabled when the application is hidden. -UseXMLInLibrary Forces the use of the XML interface to SlimServer rather than the CLI. Use this flag if SlimRoku crashes often while browsing your music. -SSTransport Enables Play/Pause/Previous/Next controls while the screensaver is active. -Screensaver=minutes Specifies how many minutes of idle time should pass before the screensaver kicks in. Default is 10 minutes. -RepeatMode=mode Specifies the repeat mode SlimRoku should start in: 0 = None 1 = Current Song 2 = All -ShuffleMode=mode Specifies the shuffle mode SlimRoku should start in: 0 = None 1 = Song 2 = Album -PlaylistId=id Specifies the id of a playlist to start playing on start up. You can determine the playlist id by launching SlimRoku and opening the Playlists window. Once open, press the Info button to display the playlist IDs to the right of the playlist names. Alternatively, you can get the id via the SlimServer web interface's Browse Playlist page. When you mouse-over a playlist entry, the URL should appear in the status bar. The number immediately following "&playlist=" in the URL is the id of that playlist. -SlimCLIPort=port Specifies Command Line Interface port for SlimServer. Setting this option is only necessary if you have changed the port via the web interface. -SlimWebPort=port Specifies web server port for SlimServer. Setting this option is only necessary if you have changed the port via the web interface. -XMUser=username Specifies username to use for XM Radio. -XMPassword=password Specifies password to use for XM Radio. |
