I'm using squeezelite/raspberry pi to set up a player in my kids' room. I would like to add some physical control buttons to the device (such as a play/pause button and next/prev track buttons), and I would like to do it in a way that does not require a bunch of additional configuration. My thought was to write a small program to watch for button inputs and use the LMS command line interface on port 9090 to control things, but this presents a few tricky problems...such as, how do I know the address of the LMS server to which squeezelite is connected? If server is started with the "-s <server>" command line option I can in theory -- although it makes me shudder -- parse the output of "ps", but what do to if autodiscovery is in use? I have a simliar question about determining the player name. Given the player name and server ip the rest is relatively simple.
In an ideal world, there would be a way to send commands to squeezelite -- which already knows all this information -- and have it send the appropriate protocol messages to LMS. Has anyone else tackled this? Any suggestions on how to proceed? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ larsks's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
