Receive is Webradio playing

[mezcal]

Hi all,

I have succesfully set up Apple remote to control moode. This remote has one button for play/stop. I use commad mpc toggle.
It works fine but for webradios is better stop then pause as GUI does. My approach is:

Code:

http=$(echo -e "currentsong\nclose" | nc localhost 6600 | grep file: | sed 's/file: //' | cut -c -4)
status=$(echo -e "status\nclose" | nc localhost 6600 | grep state: | sed 's/state: //')
if [ "$http" == 'http' ] && [ "$status" == 'play' ]; then # radio
    mpc stop
else
    mpc toggle
fi

If the filename of a playing track starts with 'http' it is webradio. I am affraid it can catch tidal. For tidal is pause better then stop.

Is any way how to execute GUI commands. Something like:

Code:

curl "http://127.0.0.1/commands.php/?cmd=play"

@mezcal 

Interesting approach.

First, props for using netcat  

Second, perhaps I'm misunderstanding your request, but it looks like the logic you seek isn't handled in php but in javascript. Have a look at js/scripts-panels.js where moOde decides what to do with Play/Pause clicks. Once it's decided, it uses the function sendMpdCmd() to invoke the commands you already know.

Tim's the Guru on this. I just bird-walk through his code from time to time.

There are two WebAPI's for moOde

1. MPD command API
http://moode/command?cmd=play
http://moode/command?cmd=pause

2. Volume API
http://moode/command?cmd=vol.sh 10

Here is the help for vol.sh
pi@rp3:~ $ /var/www/vol.sh -help
vol.sh with no arguments will print the current volume level
vol.sh restore will set alsa/mpd volume based on current knob setting
vol.sh <level between 0-100>, mute (toggle), up <step> or dn <step>, -help

Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about!

I got the impression @mezcal needed context-sensitive control. It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

I think u might be right. You can get output from any MPD command via the Web command API. You can use curl and localhost on the Pi or you can run from a client Web Browser via http://hostname/command?cmd=

For example:

Code:

pi@rp3:~ $ curl http://localhost/command/?cmd=currentsong
file: http://aac-64.streamthejazzgroove.com:80/stream
Title: Danilo Pérez - If I Forget You
Name: TheJazzGroove.com - East Channel
Pos: 4
Id: 5

pi@rp3:~ $ curl http://localhost/command/?cmd=status
volume: 20
repeat: 0
random: 0
single: 0
consume: 0
playlist: 113
playlistlength: 97
mixrampdb: 0.000000
state: play
song: 4
songid: 5
time: 4109:0
elapsed: 4108.840
bitrate: 56
audio: 44100:16:2
nextsong: 5
nextsongid: 6
pi@rp3:~ $

I am newbie to moodeaudio and mpd.
I have been going through source code.

play/pause button is defined in js/scripts-panels.js:

Code:

if (MPD.json['file'].substr(0, 4).toLowerCase() == 'http') {
    var cmd = MPD.json['artist'] == 'Radio station' ? 'stop' : 'pause'; // pause if for upnp url
}
else {
   var cmd = 'pause'; // song file
}

Only radio needs stop.
I have found in inc/playerlib.php division of formats:

Code:

// radio station
if (isset($song['Name']) || (substr($song['file'], 0, 4) == 'http' && !isset($song['Artist']))) {
        
}
// UPnP file
elseif (substr($song['file'], 0, 4) == 'http' && isset($song['Artist'])) {

}
// DSD file
elseif (getFileExt($song['file']) == 'dsf' || getFileExt($song['file']) == 'dff') {

}
// file
else {

Artist 'Radio station' is adding in command/worker.php

Code:

if (isset($song['Name']) || (substr($song['file'], 0, 4) == 'http' && !isset($song['Artist']))) {
    $artist = 'Radio station';

The condition above should be used for webradio. I will try write it in bash.
I think js test for http is case insensitive and php tests are case sensitive.
