Logitech Media Server

[Eduard]

Changes:
* Add notifications to LMS players (on/off/play/pause/stop)
* Add LMS-player(s) as notifier (send notifications to your players display )

Should this be in the current beta? i do not see this in the notification settings

No, in the next beta; pull-request has been merged tonight.
See https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/pull/138

[pvm]

tested the notifications, working, nice
The notifications from LMS device towards domoticz... what does that mean?

It's the other way around: you can send Domoticz notifications to a LMS-player display

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I tested notifications towards the player, works fine

Looking good Eduard. Really nice work.

And maybe i have a challenge for you.
Can you read out the alarms of the players ?
I want to know the alarm-time of 1 of my players, to put on the lights (after a few min). But only when the alarm is set (week days).
How about that for a challenge ?

I want to do it the other way around: set the alarm-timers via Domoticz, so i can enable/disable alarms via timers of events...

New version available, soon in new beta:

* Add support for Playing playlists via LUA

Example:

Code: Select all

commandArray['SqueezeBox']='Play Playlist WakeUpList1'

Right, that's a possibility too ofc. Looks interesting, have to think about that.

That looks interesting too. Altho i don't use playlists much. Can you implement this also for favorites ?
I now use a scene linked to a shell-script i made. It looks for the id of the favorite and then plays it. If you want that for a pointer let me know.
(But i guess you know more of the interface of the LMs itself then i do )

Thanks again and all your work/time is really appriciated !

[Eduard]

please let me ask a stupid question,
i have added the media server in the hardware segment, it never shows any clients, I have severall.
the only differences, I use another port and I use a loginname and password ( added those in the remote address line)

please advice

I added support for user authentication on LMS server now. Will be available in next beta soon.

Hi,

Maybe i am mistaken, but i think the 'Play Favorites' also needs a parameter, like the 'Play Playlist <param>'
According to the LMS-help:

Code: Select all

Request: "6e:ef:54:e9:02:b0 favorites playlist play item_id:1.1<LF>"

Or how do we tell him to play what favorite ?

And .. (wishfull thinking) ... how about the "Favorites" button on the pop-up remote ?

[Eduard]

Maybe i am mistaken, but i think the 'Play Favorites' also needs a parameter, like the 'Play Playlist <param>'

That parameter is optional in LMS; it now takes no parameter to play all your favorites.
I will consider an update with the optional paramater for item_id.

And .. (wishfull thinking) ... how about the "Favorites" button on the pop-up remote ?

What about it? It just works the same way as your normal remote: press Favorites, scroll & play

Ah, cool. Nothing happend when i used it. But maybe i have another mistake somewhere.

Same here, didn't work for me. But didn't check good. I'll recheck this soon.
