Thanks for this suggestion. I now wrote a small script that gets called
from Lircrc (in stead of hardcoding the full curl command for every
single key). It adds an extra layer, which I don't like, but it's much
easier to maintain and indeed does not require a reference to the server
name anymore either. The script looks like this:
(note that the remote controls its own player directly using "pcp up",
pcp down", etc.. But it also starts preset radio stations on the leading
player and volume and power functions on a small piZero player in a
connected room, by curling json commands to the server)
Code:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
LMSIP=$(netstat -nt 2>&1 | grep :3483 | grep ESTABLISHED | uniq -f 4 | awk '{
print $5 }' | grep :3483 | awk -F: '{ print $1 }')
#MAC address for external players
bathroomMAC="b8:27:eb:8a:xxxx"
livingroomMAC="aa:aa:bd:41:xxxx"
# only preset commands go to main player (format "lmsjson.sh preset 1") all
others go to bathroom (format "lmsjson.sh power 0", max 3 params)
if [ $1 = "preset" ]
then
command='{"id": 1, "method": "slim.request", "params":["'$livingroomMAC'",
["favorites", "playlist", "play", "item_id:2.'$2'"]]}'
else
command='{"id": 1, "method": "slim.request", "params":["'$bathroomMAC'",
["'$1'", "'$2'", "'$3'"]]}'
fi
#echo $LMSIP
#echo $command
eval "curl -X POST -d '"$command"' "$LMSIP":9000/jsonrpc.js"
--------------------
The lircrc files now only contains lines like this:
Code:
--------------------
begin
prog = irexec
remote = WD_TV_LIVE_REMOTE
button = KEY_3
repeat = 0
config = /home/tc/lmsjson.sh preset 2
end
--------------------
One odd thing I noticed though: It seems that squeezelite is also
connected to and listening to Lirc, because the mute key (which is not
in my lircrc file) mutes the player. Since LMS seems to have 'issues
with Mute/Unmute '
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109624-Announce-Material-Skin&p=988645&viewfull=1#post988645)I
want to avoid that.. But I can't figure out how squeezelite is
configured to respond to Lirc. There is nothing in my Lirrc file for the
mute key, so it seems to be at a lower level. Would anybody know where I
can find the mapping for this connection?
