I create another script for adding current song to a playlist with a remote.
I have a Samsung BN59 like remote with numeric touch from 0 to 9 and I use it to launch playlist (named playlist0 to playlist9).
So when touch the 5 button for example, it clear, add and play the playlist 5. I wanted to be able to add a listen song to a specific playlist. It's the purpose of that script which do :
- verify that a number is passed as parameter (playlist to update)
- verify if the playlist file exist and create if necessary
- search the file name of the current song in the currentsong.txt file
- verify if thjat file isn't already store in that playlist
- add the current file playing at the end of the playlist
Code:
#!/bin/bash
CurrentFile=/var/local/www/currentsong.txt
PlayList=/var/lib/mpd/playlists/playlist
# verif argument number playlist passed
if [ -n "$1" ]
then
fileout=$PlayList$1".m3u"
# verif if playlist file exists
if [ ! -f $fileout ];then
# file doesn't exist => created empty
touch $fileout
fi
# read currentsong.txt to retrieve the current file playing
while read -r ligne
do
if [ ${ligne:0:5}=='file=' ]
then
file=${ligne:5}
# read the playlist file to see if the song file is already stored in the playlist
while read -r ligne_pl
do
if [ "$ligne_pl" = "$file" ]
then
# already stored => nothing to do
exit 0;
fi
done < $fileout
# current file not found in the playlist
# add current file at the end of the playlist and exit
echo $file >> $fileout
exit 0
fi
done < $CurrentFile
else
echo "Usage: `basename $0` [num_playlist]"
fi
exit 0
The script is affected to a combination of 2 buttons on my remote control (for me PRE-CH + Numeric button corresponding to the playlist choosen).
my irexec file for updating the playlist 5 as example :
Code:
begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_P
button = KEY_5
config = sudo /home/pi/scripts/CurrenttoPlaylist.sh 5
repeat = 0
flags = quit
end
and to load the playlist (that part must be after the previous one as the KEY_5 is in case in the 2 parts) :
Code:
begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_5
config = mpc clear; mpc load playlist5; mpc play
repeat = 0
flags = quit
end
May be it can help someone
Enjoy
