Squeezebox URL Commands

[karadayi]

Hey,

I got found on some Websites some syntax to play mp3 but have the problem to set the volume for each file different.

My URL
... status.html?p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=myfile.mp3&play er=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee&start=0

for volume I did some tests but without success:

... status.html?p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=myfile.mp3&p3=v olume&p4=30&player=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee&start=0

... status.html?p0=mixer&p1=play&p2=myfile.mp3&p3=volu me&p4=30&player=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee&start=0

Can you you help me how to change the volume?

I'd strongly suggest you try to use the CLI commands over JSON/RPC
(http://htmlpreview.github.io/?https:...s/cli-api.html).
That status page handler is a bit of an old school hack and hasn't been
updated in years. It might work or not.

Basically the p0-pX parameters correspond to what you'd send to the CLI.
Try p0=mixer&p1=volume&p2=30 instead. "It's "mixer volume 20". You can't
just add random keywords to that URL.

Thanks Michael! But I am generating some crontab jobs with python which calls the URL with curl. I have to use that python code and that looks like here:

13 3 * * * curl --data "p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=myfile.mp3&player=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee" 192.168.10.199:9000/status.html
50 6 * * * curl --data "p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=myfile.mp3&player=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee" 192.168.10.199:9000/status.html
45 9 * * * curl --data "p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=myfile.mp3&player=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee" 192.168.10.199:9000/status.html

Something like this should do the job:

curl -d '{"id":0,"params":["aa:bb:cc:dd:ee",["playlist","play","myfile.mp3"]],"method":"slim.request"}' http://192.168.10.199:9000/jsonrpc.js

Thanks!

Need to look how to increase or decrease volume.

See the link to the CLI documentation I gave.
