[PLUGIN] Custom Autoplay

Plugins
1

Hi,

I just wrote a simple Autoplay plugin for Volumio3 that does not depend on the current playlist.
It clears the playlist and plays a configurable json command (syntax from REST_API).

I wrote this plugin for my own use case (playing a radio station on every startup), but maybe it’s also useful for somebody else.

Hi,

Thank you, great idea.
I will test it asap.

Are you planning to move it on the way to the official plugin store ?

Best Regards
Josef

Very good thing!
I missed this feature.
Are there any screenshots?

Are there any screenshots?

No, but there is not really much to see (on/off + command on the settings page).

Are you planning to move it on the way to the official plugin store ?

Not really. I’m not a regular user, my project was part of a Christmas present :wink:
Also I don’t really like the requirement to register to use the plugin store.
But it’s MIT licensed so if you like you can just fork it and add it to the store.

Hi there,

Greetings Andreas

Hi there,
I have installed the plugin but not sure what command I should put in under “Settings”.
I am just wanting to automatically play a web radio station.

Thanks

I might not be the best source for your problem, but here is how I did it:

  • Play the radio station in Volumio
  • go to http://volumio.local/dev (or however your Volumio instance is named)
  • Copy the player state
  • (I simplified it by removing some unneeded entries)
  • use it as command
