php5 -> php7

[sigmaeo]

Great work! :-) With actual raspbian stretch this line from installation manual doesn't work anymore: sudo apt-get install php5-common php5-cgi php5

PHP5 isn't available anymore as installation package.

It should be substituted simply with: sudo apt-get install php-common php-cgi php

This installs PHP7 and everything works as it should.

Can you use the playbutton for each dictornery on the Webinterface?

The play button in the webinterface at the folders do not work. Have anybody a solution for me?

[sigmaeo]

The same here. I can't use them. Never tried it before.

[sigmaeo]

I looked into it. Maybe it's only a typo. In this button there is in htdocs/index.php written /usr/bin/cvlc instead of /usr/bin/vlc: I will try it tomorrow - if this will fix this issue.

$exec = "/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/cvlc -I rc --rc-host localhost:4212 ".$urlparams['play']." > /dev/null 2>/dev/null &";

cvlc is the original command line interface for vlc. Not sure if the c is still needed today. I am planning to add the --no-video option to the script, just to be sure this will only play sound. https://wiki.videolan.org/Video_Output/

[sigmaeo]

Yes, you are right of course. I changed the 2>/dev/null part of the cvlc play command to a logfile and got the following output:

I don't understand where the "piping the playlist to vlc" takes place?

The following command started manually as user pi works (without --no-video and with):

/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/cvlc  -I rc --rc-host localhost:4212 file:///home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/playlists/mycd.m3u

Here I don't get the messages with DVD things. The lua interface message comes when I stop the audio with Ctrl-C. I got this:

pi@rpi2ccu:~/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/htdocs $ /usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/cvlc  -I rc --rc-host localhost:4212 file:///home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/playlists/mycd.m3u

It will be same command, if we use a RFID card. I am not a programmer but my thinking is: kill cvlc play folder which is mark

[sigmaeo]

Sorry, I made yesterday a mistake in testing your suggestion with the "--no-video" option. I checked it again today and now everything works (with this additional option and not without)! :-) It seems that this option is needed. I made a fork, add it and changed the thing with the php-installation and do a pull request with this.
