CLI : favorites playlist play doesn't understand online integration urls

[psketch]

Hi

I can post this as a bug, but wondered if anyone else had come across it. It looks like the cli

favorites playlist play

doesn't understand the modern url syntax - used for online music integration for example. If I have a favourite pointing to, say, classic fm, I can play it using

favorites playlist play search:Classic%20FM

However, if I use the same approach to play a favourite which points to local music, or online music (qobuz, tidal), they don't play. Playing the favourites through the UI works fine of course.

If I do

favorites items 0 1 search:SomeTidalFavourite want_url:1

I can get the response including the url. Extracting the url (as favouriteurl say), I can then do

playlist play favouriteurl

So, I guess playlist play was updated to understand the new syntax, but favorite playlist play wasn't.

Anyone else seen this?

What do you mean by "modern url syntax"? If there's anything that hasn't
changed with the online music library integration, then it's the URL
schemas...

> --------------------
> favorites playlist play search:Classic%20FM

In this case you're not playing a URL, but the result of a search.

How exactly would your command look like? Anything in server.log when
you fail to play an item this way?

Hi Michael

OK, I'm assuming it's to do with the URL syntax because that's the only difference I can see. So, if I have 2 favourites saved in my LMS favourites list as follows

Classic FM : URL : http://icecast.thisisdax.com/ClassicFMMP3
Aladdin Sane : URL : db:album.title=Aladdin%20Sane%20(2013%20Remaster)

If I do

00:04:20:xx:xx:xx favorites playlist play search:Classic%20FM

that works fine but

00:04:20:xx:xx:xx favorites playlist play search:Aladdin%20Sane

will turn on the player if it's off, but doesn't update the playlist.

Server.log shows

[21-01-03 20:51:14.0449] Slim::Player::Song::new (113) Error: Could not find handler for db:album.title=Aladdin%20Sane%20(2013%20Remaster)!

But playing that URL directly would work?

So, that's the URL that gets added to the LMS favourites if you add it through the LMS UI - i.e. just find it through My Music and click the heart. Playing the favorite through the UI then works fine. I can also play that URL through "tune in" directly. I also get the same if I create a favourite for an album in my local library. So, if I create a favourite for an album called "13", it creates a url

db:album.title=13

Same behaviour. I can play the album from LMS UI favourites, I can tune in directly to that URL (by editing it in favourites and copying it), I can play that URL via

playlist play db:album.title=13

but trying to play via the favourite in cli doesn't work where the url of the favourite looks like db:album.title=.....
