some ideas/wishes in case a station is an m3u file of mp3

[tobiasfaust]

first, big thanks for that module! Its works with first try of compiling

Its possible to add some ideas/wishes in case a station is an m3u file of mp3 ?

• a pause command with status response via mqtt -> prefix/status [playing|paused|stop]
• generating a status response via mqtt for all actions (eg. mute/unmute -> prefix/mute [1|0])
• sending current playing stream url after start of playing or switching to the next record in m3u via uppreset/downpreset -> prefix/streamurl [-> current playing record in m3u]
• sending Artist, Title, Album of embedded infos of current playing mp3 if exists, else null -> prefix/artist; prefix/title; prefix/album
• sending current second of current playing track each second via mqtt -> prefix/elapsed
• current position in m3u -> prefix/position [0...n]
• length of current track -> prefix/tracklength
• command to switch to an specified and absolute position in m3u -> prefix/command position=[0..n]

nice-to-have:

• rssi value via mqtt -> prefix/rssi
• repeat and shuffle commands -> prefix/repeat [0|1]; prefix/shuffle [0|1]
• command to switch to an specified or relative position (second) in current playing track -> prefix/command trackpos=[+|-][0..n] -> trackpos=125 -> goto second 125 in current playing track -> trackpos=+20 -> move 20 seconds forward (same with -20 as move backward)
• command to get all defined stations as json -> prefix/stations ->[{"name":"station1","url":"http..."},{"name":"station2","url":"http..."}]

Example of an m3u: http://192.168.10.10:82/tracklist.m3u http://192.168.10.20/manage/shares/Music/TRACK10.MP3 http://192.168.10.20/manage/shares/Music/TRACK09.MP3 http://192.168.10.20/manage/shares/Music/TRACK08.MP3

Because and what i want? I have some Sonos and MPD Player and visualized via an Frontend, (FHEM -> Tablet-UI) The playlist will be compiled from my big NAS Music Store via same frontend too, see screenshot. I want the same for ESP32Radio :) and integrate this with full functionality

What now works perfect:

• compiling a tracklist, deliver to ESP32Radio and start this (command station=/tracklist.m3u)
• switch tracks forward and backward (uppreset/downpreset)

at least the essential of sharing the default playing position i have been integrated. It would be nice if this changes can be integrate in master branch

339: int playlistpos = 0;

515: enum { MQTT_IP, MQTT_ICYNAME, MQTT_STREAMTITLE, MQTT_NOWPLAYING, MQTT_PRESET, MQTT_VOLUME, MQTT_PLAYING ,MQTT_PLAYLISTPOS } ;

541: { "playlist/pos", MQINT8, &playlistpos, false }, // Definition for MQTT_PLAYLISTPOS

4503: playlistpos=playlist_num; mqttpub.trigger ( MQTT_PLAYLISTPOS ) ;

I will do that in the next release.

Hi Ed, many thanks :) Its possible to add the other features described above too?
