[PROBLEM] how do I know what moode is doing?

Hi didomax

Correction: the state will have been previous read from MPD first, and may be 'pause', and so will only be finally be set to 'play' if MPD does not report a status.

Clarification: for the non-MPD players the actual play state is unknown and is simply set to play.

Hi @adrii

Thanks a lot, this goes exactly in the right direction!

The only missing step is the availability of such file through a GET call: does anybody know if there is a way to make these data available through the command API?

Thanks
Max

Well, if you want to try a "heat it and beat it" approach (a phrase I learned from a master welder), just create a symlink to make /var/local/www/currentsong.txt visible to the nginx server. Let's abuse the fact that it can serve up imagery for coverart

Code:

sudo ln -s /var/local/www/currentsong.txt /var/local/www/imagesw/currentsong.txt

Now point your code to

Code:

http://moode.local/imagesw/currentsong.txt

Assuming you've enabled moOde's Metadata file setting under m>Sys config>Local services, you'll see the last written content.

Here, for example, is what is displayed in my web browser while a track is streaming from another moOde player's DLNA server (in this case with BubbleUPnP on my phone as the UPnP control point).

Code:

file=http://192.168.4.26:8200/MediaItems/8321.flac
artist=Miles Davis & Quincy Jones
album=Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux
title=Boblicity

outrate=16 bit, 44.1 kHz, Stereo, 1.411 Mbps
