Start song/stream at startup #693

Open erhapp opened 4 years ago

Hello

What is the easiest way to make the player start up with a song/stream playing?

I would like the player to play a radio webstream at startup.

kind regards

Erik

Hi @erhapp

i like the idea and try blindly to whip something up (i.e. I am just writing here, not testing anywhere). If it works for you, please share it here, then I can add it to the wiki.

I assume that you have Phoniebox installed and an an RFID connected to the webstream you want to start. In this case, you need to do the following:

  1. create a service that will run on startup

In the following file, replace 1234567890 with the ID of your RFID tag

[Unit]  
Description=Phoniebox Startup Playlist
After=default.target

[Service]
User=pi
Group=pi
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=true
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID
ExecStart=/home/piRPi-Jukebox-RFID/scripts/rfid_trigger_play.sh -i=1234567890

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Save the file at this location:

/home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/misc/sampleconfigs/phoniebox-startup-playlist.service.buster-default.sample
  1. Install and activate the service

The following lines will copy the file to the right place to run on startup:

sudo cp /home/pi/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/misc/sampleconfigs/phoniebox-startup-playlist.service.buster-default.sample /etc/systemd/system
/etc/systemd/system/phoniebox-startup-playlist.service
sudo chown root:root /etc/systemd/system/phoniebox-startup-playlist.service
sudo chmod 644 /etc/systemd/system/phoniebox-startup-playlist.service
sudo systemctl enable phoniebox-startup-playlist

The reboot, tell me what happens.

All the best, micz

Perfect. The solution works great.

This addition greatly improves the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) of the kitchen radio I'm building. ;-)

Thank you very much!

It's appears that I was a little bit to eager to get this working. The music isn't playing after all.

It did work the first two times that I rebooted. Now I realize that MPD was playing the stream when I gave the reboot command. Maybe MPD resumed playing after reboot?

Anyways, I need to look a little bit further into this solution.

While testing the new script I noticed that the startup sound wasn't playing either.

Adding 'After=network.target iptables.service firewalld.service rfid-reader.service' to the startup service solved this issue. (https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/issues/645)

Adding the same change to the playlist service made the service work as well.

Hi @erhapp could you post your service script here, so we have a working solution (not just my "wild guess" :)

@MiczFlor : Sure. Thanks for the help.
