It is the easiest thing in the word to intercept. Use https. If the logitech server miss that feature, then its safer to put it behind a proxy in an Apache httpd and make that wrap in SSL. rgds.

Re: [slim] Amazon Echo / Alexa integration how-to with IFTTT
Does a playlist have a useable/passable URL, and if so how do I get that? I know how to access Chrome Developer tools etc., but don't have much knowledge past that. Local files (playlists or audio files) would use a url of type file://path/to/your/playlist.m3u or similar. -- -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Amazon Echo / Alexa integration how-to with IFTTT
Thanks Michael. I misunderstood about the P2 parameter. I just got it working playing a web stream, which is great and the top priority. So I'll keep playing with that info! Does a playlist have a useable/passable URL, and if so how do I get that? I know how to access Chrome Developer tools etc., but don't have much knowledge past that. Thanks again!

Re: [slim] Amazon Echo / Alexa integration how-to with IFTTT
I'm able to get it to (resume) play, and stop play. But the commands I've made for playing specific playlists seems to make Squeezebox Server stop running, so I'm guessing there's something about the command that's problematic. I certainly hope those URLs don't make it crash?!? If so, please provide the server.log and more information about your installation. http://myURL:9000/status.html?p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=&news&player=MACaddressOfPlayer p2 is expected to be a playable URL. You don't even set it, but have that invalid "news" parameter in there. You can't play an item by its menu name or the like. -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Amazon Echo / Alexa integration how-to with IFTTT
Thanks for this info and thread. I just picked up a Dot and was hoping to use it to do some simple commands. I'm able to get it to (resume) play, and stop play. But the commands I've made for playing specific playlists seems to make Squeezebox Server stop running, so I'm guessing there's something about the command that's problematic. Here's the command I was using that causes the problem: http://myURL:9000/status.html?p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=&news&player=MACaddressOfPlayer Any ideas or suggestions?
