SqueezeJS.Controller.playerRequest([JSON formatted CLI request])

That's a behaviour you can configure in LMS Settings/Player/Syncronization.

How do I set the squeezebox volume through the SqueezeJS framework and JSON format CLI request?


Is there away to get a complete list of all the properties and objects they are associated to?

I am trying via IFTTT JSON webhook:

{ "entity_id": "media_player.playername", "command": "volume", "parameters": "0"}

Relative change (-1):
SqueezeJS.Controller.setVolume(1, '-')

Absolute:
SqueezeJS.Controller.setVolume(50)

What Objects? Properties of what?

Thanks as in, is there a list or documentation where I can see for example:

Controller . SetVolume

^ ^
"Object" "Property"


And a list of all objects and properties available. Apologies if these are 'termed' differently.

No, there's not a complete list. Some basics are covered in
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeJS.

Other than that, there's the source :-). Base.js has the controller methods:

I have incorporated a script into a custom "Now Playing" screen which allows control of some Squeezebox functions via keyboard:

<!-- Binding arrow keys to functions: https://craig.is/killing/mice -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/html/ext/mousetrap.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	Mousetrap.bind ('up', function() {SqueezeJS.Controller.setVolume(1, '+')});
	Mousetrap.bind ('down', function() {SqueezeJS.Controller.setVolume(1, '-')});
	Mousetrap.bind ('space', function() {SqueezeJS.Controller.playerControl(['pause'])});
	Mousetrap.bind ('left', function() {SqueezeJS.Controller.playerControl(['playlist index -1'])});
	Mousetrap.bind ('right', function() {SqueezeJS.Controller.playerControl(['playlist index +1'])});
</script>

The final two "playlist index" commands, however, do not work. I'm thinking it may not be a "SqueezeJS.Controller.playerControl" command, but I can't find any alternative. Any suggestions on how to correct this? Thanks.

Make the parameters separate elements of the list:

['playlist', 'index', '+1']

Thanks Michael, that works well! One follow-up if I may: if I want the "left" arrow to first return to the beginning of the currently playing track rather than go to the previous track, what would be the proper command for that? Essentially, I want to duplicate the behavior of the "back" arrow on the front of the Touch.

Check out what the Default web UI would send ;-). I think it's "button rew".

Thanks for the suggestion. ['button', 'rew'] duplicates the effect of the ['playlist', 'index', '-1'] command, but does not return to the start of the currently playing track as does the web UI button. The source for the web UI assigns [id="ctrlPrevious"] to the "Previous" button, but I can't find a definition for this element. Any other suggestions are welcome.

It shouldn't, when you're well in to a track. See the networking tab in
your browser's dev tools. You should see the exact request the web UI is
sending to the server.

When I look at the Networking tab I see nothing obvious in what the browser is sending in response to a press on those buttons.

However, inspecting the buttons reveals the following:

Previous: <button type="button" style="padding: 0px; width: 31px;" class=" x-btn-text" id="ext-gen41" title="Previous"></button>
Next: <button type="button" style="padding: 0px; width: 31px;" class=" x-btn-text" id="ext-gen45" title="Next"></button>

Any idea on where I would find the definitions of those two "id" items?

Whenever you press a button you should see a call to /jsonrpc.js. Click
the entry and more details (parameters, results etc.) should be shown on
the side.

These IDs are created on the fly by the JS framework being used (extjs).
There really is no easier way to see the requests than the networking
traffic as outlined above.

Got it! Switched from Chrome over to Firefox and found it easier to see the requests being sent:

['button', 'jump_rew']
['button', 'jump_fwd']

Thanks.

Just been looking at the same thing and found this thread.

I have two players synchronised but I only want the volume adjusted on one of them.

Is this possible by this method?
