Playing mp3 doesn't work. #30

Hi Petro. Hi all!

The Stream to my homepod does not work. These are the my atvremote scan results:

Scan Results

   Name: Wohnzimmer

Model/SW: HomePod Mini, tvOS 16.2 Address: 192.168.0.xxx MAC: 58:D3:49:2B:8B:82 Deep Sleep: False Identifiers:

The Speaker from the hombridge-plugin is shown in Homekit . But when I trigger the event in shortcut, nothing happens.

The manual trigger with the command:

ffmpeg -i http://homebridge.local.4567/var/www/media -f mp3 - | atvremote --id 58D3492B8B82 stream_file=mail.mp3

gives a Server-Error-Reply: HTTP error 500 Internal Server Error and No such file or directory

But the directory exists. Can anyone give me a hint to solve that?

@Petro: In addition, i have a question. As you mentioned in the instructions, it is posible to play mp3-files from the Server (in my case a rasperry-pi) and stream them to the HomePod Mini (same Network). Is this right?

My idea is the following:

Trigger -> VibrationSensor -> Play mp3 and stream to my hompod mini -> "Mail_has_been_delivered.mp3"

Would that be possible?

Thanks!

Hi, looks like URL which you pass to ffmpeg is not correct, try

http://homebridge.local.4567/var/www/media/mail.mp3

Hi Pedro.

Now I tried the following command:

ffmpeg -i http://192.68.0.xxx:4567/var/www/media/mail.mp3 -f mp3 - | atvremote --id 58D3492B8B82 stream_file=-

and get this output: [tcp @ 0x16715b0] Connection to tcp://192.68.0.xxx:4567 failed: Connection timed out http://192.68.0.xxx:4567/var/www/media/mail.mp3: Connection timed out

Do you know, how to fix this?

Looks like URL to mp3 file is not correct. Did you test this URL from other devices within tour network?

Matt-Eagle-Pi commented 1 year ago

From my laptop I get this {"error":true,"message":"Unsupported request"}:

I tried the Url: http://192.168.0.xxx:4567/var/www/media/play/mail.mp3

Hi,

To play mail.mp3 on HomePod using plugin you have to do the following:

  1. put mail.mp3 to some directory on your Homebridge server (in your example it could be /var/www/media)
  2. Configure plugin to use that directory when playing files (in your example set mediaPath= /var/www/media)
  3. Configure plugin to use some HTTP port for processing requests (in your example set httpPort=4567)
  4. Test that file is accessible by invoking from browser http://homebridge.local:4567/play/mail.mp3

Once it works - you can create simple automation which would just "get contents of URL" (in your example http://homebridge.local.4567/play/mail.mp3)

Let me know if this works, will try to add more configuration examples on how to use this feature :)

Hi Petro. Many thanks for your support, so far!

I guess, I know, why the url doesn't work. My homebridge isn't installed as an exclusive hombridge-image to my Pi. The installation is on top of a raspi-debian with extra port-offset. In my case I use the IP plus Port, e.g. 192.168.1.123:8888 to get access to my homebridge in my local network.

If I use the url: http://192.168.1.123:4567/play/mail.mp3, it does not work.

Any ideas?

Matt-Eagle-Pi commented 1 year ago

Hi Petro,

the URL: ttp://192.168.0.123:8888/play/ -f mp3 - | atvremote --id 58D3492B8B82 stream_file=/home/pi/media/mail.mp3 works!

Now I have to figure out, how this works with the plugin.

Matt-Eagle-Pi commented 1 year ago

It ist done!

The two things were missing or set wrong:

Thanks! Issue can be closed!
