Hi

I am using nodered and specifically https://github.com/maxill1/node-red-contrib-volumio to connect to volumio’s websocket.

I am trying to trigger volumio updateDb, however I cant work out the call.

based on the documents it should be

   {
    "endpoint":"category/name",
    "method":"methodName",
    "data": {}
   }

which based on the code i think translates to

     {
            "endpoint":"miscellanea/my_music",
            "method":"updateMusicLibraryBrowseSourcesVisibility",
            "data": {}
           }

However i cant seem to get this to work. have i misinterpreted this?

in nodered i am getting error pushevent is not defined. This is what i am putting within my function

 const endpoint = {"endpoint":"miscellanea/my_music", "method":"updateMusicLibraryBrowseSourcesVisibility", "data": {}}
 msg.payload ={
    event: "callMethod",
    data: endpoint
 }
return msg;

Simply emit

updateDb

and it will work

PS: You use a very old version, I recommend to update

Thank you, I had tried this, but hadn’t appreciated I needed to send “pushState”.

As a follow up is there away to just update specific folders. I see the UI options but can’t see what the UI translates to at socket level

Thanks

PS - yes I know it is an old version, however everytime i upgrade i lose snapcast. therefore i have pinned to this version where i have a working snapcast until i have more time to debug that)
