Play specific favorite via JSONRPC API

[jenssen]

Hello,

Is it possible to play a specific favorite via the JSONRPC API?

Can not find how to do it, would like to use it to play certain radio stations via the API who are currently in the favorite list.

Many thanks.

I assume you know how to construct call, here is how we do it in pCP.

You need to reference the ID of the favorite. The command: favorite items 0 100

Will return the names and id numbers of all of your favorites.

Then to play: favorites playlist play item_id:xx

Hello,

Thanks, not sure how to apply the option mentioned above.

I am now sending the command below to http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9000/jsonrpc.js to stop playing and change stop to play to start playing. How to integrate the above?
{"id":0,"params":["xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx",["stop"]],"method":"slim.request"}

Here is the request to get a list of favorites

{"id":1,"method":"slim.request","params":[ "-", ["favorites","items","0","100"]]}

That will return JSON output of your favorites. You only need to do this when you need to figure out the id of your favorites.......

{"id":1,"result":{"loop_loop":[
   {"id":"81ad1ed6.0","name":"MIX 107.7 WMMX-FM","type":"audio","image":"https://i.iheart.com/v3/re/assets/images/8c5f9c8e-6dea-4bfc-88fa-e9249bf07ea3.png","isaudio":1,"hasitems":0},
   {"id":"81ad1ed6.1","name":"104.7 WTUE WTUE-FM","type":"audio","image":"https://i.iheart.com/v3/re/assets/images/1785.png","isaudio":1,"hasitems":0}],"title":"Favorites","count":2},
"method":"slim.request","params":["-",["favorites","items","0","10"]]}

Figure out which id you want to play......and just play them like this. Replace "piCorePlayer" with the name of your player (or mac address of your player)

{"id":1,"method":"slim.request","params":[ "piCorePlayer", ["favorites","playlist","play","item_id:81ad1ed6.0"]]}
