Where can I find the CLI documentation?

[mherger]

On your LMS: http://localhost:9000/html/docs/cli-api.html (replace "localhost" with your server's address).

Don't have LMS running? What are you doing here then, anyway? The documentation is on github, of course. Read it online. It's not nicely laid out, but hey, it's available!

Is there similar documentation for the JSON interface somewhere?

It's basically the same.
You'll have to put the command JSON formatted to LMS-IP:9000/jsonrpc.js

To set the volume to 25 (CLI: "04:20:00:12:23:45 mixer volume 25<LF>" )you could POST it like this:

curl -X POST -d '{ "method": "slim.request", "params":["00:04:20:xx:xx:xx", ["mixer", "volume", "25"]]}' 192.168.178.37:9000/jsonrpc.js

The JSON part ist embraced by ' followed by {. The latter for handling it as a dictionary.
The command itself is a list consisting of the player ID (MAC) and another list with the parameters p0 to p5.

Thanks all for sharing! This really helped me get started. I was having some trouble figuring out how to send some other commands though until I saw somewhere that if you want to send a "general" command for example you still need to give a mac address for some reason? So I got this to work for example. Not sure also if/why the "id":0 is needed but I put that in there too

{
    "method": "slim.request",
    "params": [
        "FF:FF:FF:FF",
        [
            "player",
            "count",
            "?"
        ]
    ],
    "id": 0
}

Question, does anyone know how to interact with apps? Such as spotify or pandora? I got the list to work:

{
    "method": "slim.request",
    "params": [
        "FF:FF:FF:FF",
        [
            "apps",
            "0",
            "15"
        ]
    ],
    "id": 0
}

And I get something like this:

{
    "method": "slim.request",
    "id": 0,
    "result": {
        "count": 13,
        "appss_loop": [
            {
                "type": "xmlbrowser",
                "icon": "plugins/Spotty/html/images/93aac68fb06348598c1e67734dfaceee.png",
                "weight": 1,
                "cmd": "spotty",
                "name": "Spotty"
            },
            {
                "icon": "plugins/Pandora/html/images/icon.png",
                "type": "xmlbrowser",
                "weight": 10,
                "cmd": "pandora",
                "name": "Pandora"
            },
...

I think I found it here:

I just got this to work (have to talk to one specific player...)

{
    "method": "slim.request",
    "params": [
        "aa:bb:eb:zz:yy:xx",
        [
        	"myapps",
        	"items",
        	"0",
        	"9"
        ]
    ],
    "id": 0
}

Then, you get an item id in the response and use it like this to go down that path:

{
    "method": "slim.request",
    "params": [
        "aa:bb:eb:zz:yy:xx",
        [
        	"myapps",
        	"items",
        	"0",
        	"9",
        	"item_id:xyz859.0"
        ]
    ],
    "id": 0
}
