Playback control #76

Closed winxi01 closed 4 years ago

winxi01 commented 5 years ago

Hi, many thanks for this nice and very useful piece of software! It runs without any issues on my pi 3 b+. I've just a question: is there a(n easy) way to apply playback controls (i.e. play/pause/next track/previous track) from the command line at the raspi itself. If this were possible, I'd implement hardware buttons and/or an IR remote to control playback.

Hi, thanks for your kind comments.

There is a RESTful API that could be used from some control functions, have a look here:

Thanks again,

Pete.

This is awesome, thank you so much! Just for reference, if somebody other stumbles across this: the wiki page linked above seems to be outdatet. There are more commands available - use http://rpipi2.local:8088/myapp/mediaplayer/help to see the full list.
