Squeezebox Playlist selection?

mhilbush · October 25, 2016, 10:02pm

Is that in the designer? I think I get that too, but I haven’t used the designer in a long time.

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 25, 2016, 10:11pm

Its in the designer yes. Otherwise everything looks fine. Ive changed out the items, and the request url but still, doesnt work. Its on port 9002 if that matters?

mhilbush · October 25, 2016, 10:14pm

Not sure. You could try URL-encoding the radiotime URL, then inserting it into the logitech URL in the place where I have the URL-encoded pandora URL.

Here’s the URL-encoded version of the radiotime URL

http%3A%2F%2Fopml.radiotime.com%2FTune.ashx%3Fid%3Ds87164%26formats%3Daac%2Cogg%2Cmp3%2Cwmpro%2Cwma%2Cwmvoice%26partnerId%3D16%26serial%3Df29bc9c96a57a8e16b521da616db3839

And here it is inserted into the logitech URL. You need to replace hostname with the name or IP of your LMS server, replace MACaddress with the MAC address of the Logitech player, and replace 9000 with the port number for your LMS.

http://hostname:9000/status.html?p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=http%3A%2F%2Fopml.radiotime.com%2FTune.ashx%3Fid%3Ds87164%26formats%3Daac%2Cogg%2Cmp3%2Cwmpro%2Cwma%2Cwmvoice%26partnerId%3D16%26serial%3Df29bc9c96a57a8e16b521da616db3839&player=MACaddress

If I get some time tonight, I can see if I can get it to work…

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 25, 2016, 10:25pm

Still doesnt work. I get send to a page with simple controls over the radio and status of currently playing station. Here is my rule, if have time i’d appreciate if you could check it out

val String Squeeze_OliverMAC = “myadressehere”

val org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib.Functions$Function2 squeezePlayPlaylist = [
String player,
String playlist |

logInfo(“squeezeplaylist.rules”, "In squeezePlayPlaylist with player of " + player)

var String station
var String requestURL
var boolean success = true

switch(playlist) {
case “0” :
station = “http%3A%2F%2Fopml.radiotime.com%2FTune.ashx%3Fid%3Ds87164%26formats%3Daac%2Cogg%2Cmp3%2Cwmpro%2Cwma%2Cwmvoice%26partnerId%3D16%26serial%3Df29bc9c96a57a8e16b521da616db3839”
case “1” :
station = “spotify:track:124NFj84ppZ5pAxTuVQYCQ”
case “2” :
station = “http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s24861&formats=aac,ogg,mp3,wmpro,wma,wmvoice&partnerId=16&serial=2f8e3d8bf8c32452f470e9e55461fb14”
case “3” :
station = “pandora%3A%2F%2F79741376504106105.mp3”
case “4” :
station = “pandora%3A%2F%2F3230131829791886457.mp3”
case “5” :
station = “pandora%3A%2F%2F72031231602953337.mp3”
default : {
logError(“squeezeplaylist.rules”, “Received a request for an unknown playlist!”)
success = false
}
}

if (success == true) {
requestURL = “http://192.168.1.11:9002/status.html?p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=” + station + “&player=” + player
logInfo(“squeezeplaylist.rules”, "Sending playlist request to server: " + requestURL)
sendHttpGetRequest(requestURL)
}
]

rule “Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList”
when
Item Squeeze_Oliver_Play_Playlist received command
then
logInfo(“squeezeplaylist.rules”, “Playing playlist on Oliver Squeezebox”)
squeezePlayPlaylist.apply(Squeeze_OliverMAC, receivedCommand.toString)
end

I’ve tried many things with the adresses, trial and error but nothing works out for me.The sitemap and items are just renamed to fit my layout. Ill check back tomorrow and try to figure it out.

Thank you very much for the help, much appreciated

Try pasting this into your web browser (after changing the hostname, port, and mac address to match your settings). It should play the College Sports Now radio station.

http://HOSTNAME:PORT/status.html?p0=playlist&p1=play&p2=http%3A%2F%2Fopml.radiotime.com%2FTune.ashx%3Fid%3Ds254142%26formats%3Daac%2Cogg%2Cmp3%2Cwma%2Cwmvoice%26partnerId%3D16%26serial%3D01cc89df798110127d45d6daf&player=00:04:20:16:45:26

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 25, 2016, 10:29pm

Unbelievable! It works. What did you do to the url? @mhilbush

mhilbush · October 25, 2016, 10:35pm

Go here, copy the radiotime URL into the box, and click encode. Then copy the encoded URL and paste it into your logitech URL after the p2= and before the &player=

http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/

BTW, there are many other URL encoders out there. This just happened to be the one that was the first search result when I googled “URL encoder”.

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 26, 2016, 8:10am

Thanks @mhilbush. The url i get from the lms encoded now works in the direct url, but sadly not in the rule you provided. Any way to fix this issue? Or am i missing a obvious step here?

mhilbush · October 26, 2016, 10:50am

Not sure. What are you seeing in openhab.log when the rule executes?

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 26, 2016, 7:32pm

This is what it says when i press the selection in my sitemap @mhilbush

mhilbush · October 26, 2016, 8:33pm

Hmm. Could you post the Squeezebox items and sitemap entry you’re using? It looks like something might be missing. Maybe also try restarting openHAB.

In a .items file, there should be an item defined that looks like this.

Number Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList

And something like this in the .sitemap file.

Selection item=Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList label="Play a Playlist" 
                            mappings=[0="Playlist 1", 1="PL2", 2="PL3", 3="PL4", 4="PL5", 5="PL6"]

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 26, 2016, 8:46pm

Thats exactly what i have. The items is that and this is the sitemap
Selection item=Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList label="Play a Playlist" mappings=[0="Playlist0", 1="Playlist1", 2="Playlist2", 3="Playlist3", 4="Playlist4", 5="Playlist5"]

mhilbush · October 26, 2016, 9:12pm

It looks like it doesn’t recognize the item. This is what I normally do in those situations.

Try restarting openHAB.

There also could be a syntax error somewhere in the file. Maybe try putting the Squeezebox items in their own items file?

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 26, 2016, 9:14pm

@mhilbush I have restarted several times. Could you take a look at the rules because i think if there is a fault thats where it is. Maybe i forgot to exchange some data with my own?
val String Squeeze_OliverMAC = “00:04:20:26:53:3d”

val org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib.Functions$Function2 Squeeze_Oliver_Play_Playlist = [
    String player,
    String playlist |

	logInfo("squeezeplaylist.rules", "In squeezePlayPlaylist with player of " + player)

	var String station
	var String requestURL
	var boolean success = true

	switch(playlist) {
		case "0" : 
			station = "http%3A%2F%2Fopml.radiotime.com%2FTune.ashx%3Fid%3Ds87164%26formats%3Daac%2Cogg%2Cmp3%2Cwmpro%2Cwma%2Cwmvoice%26partnerId%3D16%26serial%3D2f8e3d8bf8c32452f470e9e55461fb14"

	}

	if (success == true) {

		logInfo("squeezeplaylist.rules", "Sending playlist request to server: " + requestURL)
		sendHttpGetRequest(requestURL)
	}
]

rule "Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList"
when
	Item Squeeze_Oliver_Play_Playlist received command
then
	logInfo("squeezeplaylist.rules", "Playing playlist on Oliver Squeezebox")
	Squeeze_Oliver_Play_Playlist.apply(Squeeze_OliverMAC, receivedCommand.toString)
end

mhilbush · October 26, 2016, 9:20pm

I looked at the rule earlier and it looks fine.

Besides, I don’t think it’s making it to the rule. That error is complaining about not being able to get the item (Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList) associated with the Selection widget in your sitemap.

mhilbush · October 26, 2016, 9:45pm

Not sure if you are on Linux or Windows. In Linux you could try:

cd your-openhab-directory
./runtime/karaf/bin/client items | grep Squeeze

You should see something like this:

Squeezebox_Play_PlayList (Type=NumberItem, State=NULL, Label=Playlists, Category=network, Groups=[sbp_md_deck])

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 26, 2016, 9:46pm

@mhilbush Im on windows.

mhilbush · October 26, 2016, 9:56pm

Hmm. Maybe try this from a web browser on your Windows box. If you don’t have something to make the JSON pretty, it will look like a mess. But this would display the information about the item Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList.

http://localhost:8080/rest/items/Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList

Edit: Alternatively, in PaperUI, you could go to Configuration > Items and look for the item Squeeze_Oliver_Play_PlayList in the items list.

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 27, 2016, 9:26am

It works now! Finally. I went through the items in the rules and copy pasted so i made sure that it was making it to the right item. And it didnt show up in the rest api at first. Thank you very much @mhilbush i really appreciate the help. Cheers

Oliver_Roed_Scholer · October 27, 2016, 9:28am

It even works when i encode spotify urls to lets say playlist in the lms!
