Hello,

I am looking for a webservice call to launch a playlist from my browser.
I have managed to play/pause the existing selected list with the following command:
http://192.168.1.10:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayPause?Zone=Garage&ZoneType=Name
But when I try:
http://192.168.1.10:52199/MCWS/v1/Playlist/Files?PlaylistType=Name&Playlist=MyPlayList&Action=Play&Zone=Garage&ZoneType=Name
I get an error. I guess I am not using the webservice in the correct way but I have no clue how to fix it.

Could you please give me a hint?  Thanks in advance for your help

Kind regards

You can get MC to display the documentation, with examples, by typing this in your browser.

http://192.168.1.10:52199/MCWS/v1/Playlist/Files?PlaylistType=Name&Playlist=MyPlayList&Action=Play&Zone=Garage&ZoneType=Name

I'm not sure what that is.

You probably want:
http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayPlaylist?Zone=Garage&ZoneType=Name&PlaylistType=Path&Playlist=MyPlayList

Thank you both for your answers.

@JimH, yes I built my http request based on examples I found on the URL you mentionned but unfortunately I did not find one that launch a playlist.

@Matt, I have tried the http request you posted but I get the following error:
<Response Status="Failure" Information="Function 'Playback/PlayPlaylist' not found."/>

It seems the function playback So I am still stuck.

Thanks for your help

I just tried on my library and it worked great!

This was the URL:
http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayPlaylist?Zone=Mytek&ZoneType=Name&PlaylistType=Path&Playlist=MyPlaylist

Double check your slash direction maybe?

Thanks.

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your reply. You are right, I made a mistake when adjusting your example to my configuration.
It now works great. Thanks a lot.

Just one more thing. Apparently this logic works only with Playlist but not with Smartlist. Could you please explain how to start a Smartlist from a URL?

Thanks again

Let me look in the code tomorrow and then follow up.  I would have expected it to work.

It's actually pulling a smartlist just fine for me.  I made a new smartlist named MyPlaylist1 right next to MyPlaylist.  When I issue the play command on it, it just works great.

Not sure what you might be seeing.
