picorePlayer auto start and stop playing at specific times

[yorknh]

I could have sworn I had seen the answer to this at some point, but for the life of me I can't find it again.

I would like to have piCorePlayer running on a pi zero W start and stop playing at specified times. For example start at 6:30am and then stop at 8am. I do have a separate LMS server running and I would potentially like to be able to select either a stream, or a playlist. I'm assuming I can do this with a cron job running on the piCore, but I have no idea what to specify for commands.

Thanks

If running the pi zero W as a player - wouldn't the "Alarm" in LMS be what you are looking for?

Agree, a simple alarm should do this, just tested it.

I think that the stopping part is the challenge

Not a bit!

Alarm timeout of up to 240 minutes should be OK as OP only asked for 90 minutes.

Yes, I think it meets what they are looking for....

I have an alarm in my Kitchen Radio, timed so its on when passing through, to listen to traffic alerts, before leaving for the day...so lazy to even have to remember to turn it ON or OFF (after 10mins).

Saved me numerous times.

Thanks everyone, I do believe that will do the trick for me.

Nice, never noticed the max time.
