Lyndel,
Thnx for the elaborate reply!
Im building my own script for Logitech Media server. The server listens on port 9090 for TCP/IP connections. I can control the squeezebox allready, but getting notifications was proving difficult (for me).
Furthermore i dont use the onClose, because the server doesnt close the socket. It stays open. With "\n" as last character the server signals the end of the reply.
Anyway thnx again. This forum would be dead if it wasn't for you!
(No offence to others, but you get my drift)

Shortent code:
function tcpcom(){
if(LMSsocket != null){System.print("Closing socket first");LMSsocket.close(); LMSsocket=null}
LMSsocket = new TCPSocket(false);
LMSsocket.onConnect = function(){LMSsocket.write(command)}
LMSsocket.onIOError = function (e) {GUI.widget("ERRpanel").label = "IOError " + e}
LMSsocket.onData = function(){result += LMSsocket.read(); resultlen = result.length;
if(result.substr(resultlen-1) == "\n"){result = result.substr(0,resultlen-1);
switch(check){
case "Player 0 ID":PlayerID = decodeURIComponent(result.substr (comlen+1)); GUI.widget("L1").visible=true;Terminate();break
//.....
}}}
LMSsocket.connect(LMS.host, LMS.TCPport, LMS.duration);
}

function Terminate(){
if(LMSsocket!=null){LMSsocket.close();LMSsocket=null;}
}
