Play ? #7

Closed arjunmenon closed 4 years ago

Hey How do you set a song to play? The TrackInfoParser does not set the song to play. The SetSource(index) generally expects a integer. Bit unclear here, but How do you pass the song uri. Also, can we use Upnp's SetNextAVTransport Uri for gapless playing?

Normally, is openhomeDevice.Sources() suppose to return nil, when you just setup?

The Play() function doesn't take any arguments, it's a transport control, you need to have queued items on the device playlist in advance using a Upnp controller like Kazoo or BubbleDs. I've not added support for the playlist service. Here's the developer documentation for it: http://wiki.openhome.org/wiki/Av:Developer:PlaylistService

As far as SetNextAVTransport goes, it is not implemented as part of this library - feel free to submit a PR. The library is primarily targeted at Openhome or Linn devices using the PlaylistService or wanting information about what's playing.

Okay. After trying out requests, we need to use insert and seekid for playing. Just to clarify, adding support for playlist service are you planning?

Also is there a way to set a room name through control point? I didn't see an action for that.

I've no plans for the playlist service at this time, but wouldn't be too much work to use the transport service as a template.

I think you set the product room using the product service.
