Provision Mac Mini Server as Last.fm Player
From rukapedia
I'm provisioning a Mac Mini to act as a Last.fm music player at Casa Mia Café in Charlottetown.
The end result, after all the pieces are in place, is that:
- previously-registered customer enters café
- their mobile device (iPhone, Blackberry, etc.) is detected via Bluetooth scanner
- the devices's Bluetooth device address is used to look up customer's Last.fm username
- the customer's Last.fm library is added to the rotation of playlists playing inside the café (until the customer leaves the café)
Mac Mini Setup
- First boot.
- Walk through Apple setup (language, keyboard, registration, etc.)
- Download Microsoft Intellitype drivers from here to support my Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000.
- Install Google Chrome as an alternative to Safari.
- Under System Preferences | Sharing, turn on Screen Sharing (with password) and File Sharing to support remote usage.
Install Last.fm Scrobbler
- Install the official Last.fm client for Mac
Set up Harland Scan
- Install Xcode (LightBlue won't install without it)
- Install LightBlue (test using these examples)
- Install haraldscan
- Change references to pysqlite2 to sqlite3 in haraldsql.py and haraldscan.py
