Will test the Boom!

[pvm]

I got a new modem and reconfigured my home network. The squeezebox got a new network address resulting in a second device (in the switches screen). I tried removing it, that works fine.
In the hardware screen however, I still see 2 devices, how can I clean that up? Is it possible to not create a new device when the mac address stays the same?

Will look into that. Thanx for reporting!

For now you can delete the LMS hardware and add it again to loose your 'old' player...

I just created a pull-request with support for Boom & SqueezePlay. Should be available in next beta...

Hi, is there some particular reason for not adding Duet (receiver) and controller - and possibly also iPengiPod?

At least the first two should be quite identical to other SB players and I don't see why the basic controls wouldn't work. Will of course report here if there would be some issues..

They were already supported in a previous beta

Fixed! Should be available in new beta...

PS.: Still have to delete hardware and add again to get rid of the duplicate player for now. In new version it won't add a new player if the IP or Name changes...

The Boom has arrived. Simple test (turn on, off, play) successful.

Squeeze play also came up right away after the update.
Control seems to be working fine

Cheers!

Awesome, works great so far!

About notifications: I notice the notifications "on" and "off" are the only ones which work for me, and also only if I turn on/off in Domoticz, not by the device itself. Would be great if it would also work on the devices self, including the "play" option.

[Eduard]

New test version available! (For testers who are able to compile from source)

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

How to update:

Code: Select all

cd ~/dev-domoticz
git pull
make

For starters: search this thread how to start compile from source.

Now working on LUA script & Blockly's

Thanx for your testing & suggestions

Enjoy!!

Oops. I just updated and posted on my phone....

[mschut]

Ow, I was 2 minutes earlier

Also available in the Pi beta version (now V2.3267)?

No, not yet. After good test result i will make a pull-request within a few days...

Hey,

Was about to point an issue similar to what you mentioned:

The domotcz/master version has one bug which i'm not able to fix right now:
After switching on a player and play a song, the device shows artist & title as expected. But if i switch a normal switch, the status of this switch also shows the same artist & title

Found it! Fixed in new beta...

Also enabled support for Controller & Receiver. Please let me know if it works for those devices...

In my case you didn't even have to change status of a switch, just had to wait some time. Then other switches started to show the music being played as their status.
But have git-pulled your new version, compiled it and have it running for some time now, seems fixed indeed.

Not tested the notification to the LMS yet.
The notification when a device is turned on from the device itself takes a few seconds, but is noticed good by the plugin.

Yes, i'm happy again/still

btw, it is on purpose the status of the device changes from "Aan" (On) to "Audio" after a 20-30 seconds ?

I am trying to figure out the url to start playing a radiostation from the lms-list on a certain player.
Getting the player to play is no problem from a url, but switching to a certain station I can't get to work.

The idea is to have a virtual switch to start playing a channel on one of my squeezeboxes..

[cyberclwn]

Hey,

Is the channel you are trying to play on the favorites list ?

If so, you can try this script (called lms_play_fav.sh) i have made:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
SB_SERVER=<LMS_SERVER_IP>
SB_PORT=<LMS_SERVER_CLI_PORT>

LMS_FAV_ID=`echo "$1 favorites items 0 1000" | nc -q 2 $SB_SERVER $SB_PORT | sed 's/%3A/:/g' | sed 's/ id:/\'$'\n/g' | grep -i "$2 " | cut -d '.' -f2 | cut -d ' ' -f1 | head -n 1`
PLAY=`echo "$1 favorites playlist play item_id:$LMS_FAV_ID" | nc -q 2 $SB_SERVER $SB_PORT`

Put this script in your scripts-folder on the domoticz server.

Then make a scene with this in the "on-action":

Code: Select all

script:///home/pi/domoticz/scripts/lms_play_fav.sh <LMS_PLAYER_NAME> <NAME_OF_FAVORITE>

And it should work.

big side-note: This script is not really (really not?) solid. i use it only for 3 favorites, so it can not work for you because of the favorites names. It won't ruin anything, but i don't guarantee it will work also.

[Eduard]

btw, it is on purpose the status of the device changes from "Aan" (On) to "Audio" after a 20-30 seconds ?

It's because the plug-in uses an interval to 'pull' the status of the players. By default this interval is 30 seconds. You can change this in rhe hardware-srtting of the LMS.
