Topic: HTTP command for opening URL to specified zone (Read 5242 times)

Try to make some commands for direct opening of internet radio stations to specific zone. Can you provide an example?

Perhaps some variation on this for opening URL in zone 2

Try this:
MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayByFilename?Filenames=http://www.myradio.com/1.mp3

Just note that currently this command will always play to the active zone regardless of the zone in the command. This is something that will be fixed in the next build.

It's getting the zone just fine in our code.

Code: [Select]

		// get the zone
		CPlayerZone * pZone = GetZone(Context, this);

		// post the message
		if (pZone != NULL)
		{
			pPlay->m_nZone = pZone->GetZoneID();
			PostMCC(MCC_PLAY_ADVANCED, (intn) pPlay);

Just to be sure where would the zone specifier be placed in this command:

MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayByFilename?Filenames=http://www.antenne.de/webradio/channels/chillout.m3u

perhaps zone 2 (this command is working on current zone)

I don't understand code so I don't know what it shows. But it has not been working for me, and it was actually you that I was quoting from the other thread that you found the bug & it will be fixed in the next build, so I am confused.

I have tried some variations on this (getting no luck). Not sure if you use zone name or zone # as the identification and where it sits in the command line.

Zone 2 would be "JRiver 2"

You'll need a new build of MC for this to work, at least 127 IIRC:

What does "127 IIRC " mean?

Build 127. Coming in a few days.

It occurred to me that perhaps I might simply need to be smarter than the problem:
issue 2 separate commands; one to select the zone and a second command to play the stream on the selected zone.

That's what I am currently doing as a temporary workaround. I use the Tasker app on Android to issue the "Zones" command to retrieve the currently active zone & save it to a variable, I then send the "SetZone" command to make the zone where I want to play the file the active zone, I then send the "PlaybyFilename" command, then I send the "Zones" command again to set the active zone back to what it was before.

Yeah, I think I am going to wait for the next version.

I am back to this again . . . .
So how would my command look if I wanted to play this URL to lets say zone "JRiver 2"

Just add the zone parameters like in the example.

Either by ID:
MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayByFilename?Filenames=http://www.antenne.de/webradio/channels/chillout.m3u&ZoneType=ID&Zone=10001

Or by Name (escaping the space):
MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayByFilename?Filenames=http://www.antenne.de/webradio/channels/chillout.m3u&ZoneType=Name&Zone=JRiver%202

For some reason this command does not seem be working for me. I can execute other commands such volume control and volume presets. I do have the latest build .131. Other commands I can execute either though iRule or directly via browser.

http://192.168.1.9:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayByFilename?Filenames=http://www.antenne.de/webradio/channels/chillout.m3u&ZoneType=ID&Zone=10001

comes back with response in browser of:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="true"?>
<Response Status="OK"/>

OK, this seems to be working. Thank you!
