Node.js wrapper library for squeezebox CLI/json interface with Spotify/SoundCloud support

squeezenode's Issues

Have you figured out how to play songs

Hey,

Having a play with your API wrapper.

Like everyone else i was hoping that the logitech media server would include some kind of restful API.

I'm planning on making some kind of nice front-end interface for it, that works on mobile.

So the closest i have got with your example code is this (which isn't very far)

squeeze.on('register', function(){
    squeeze.getPlayers( function(reply) {
            var player = reply.result[0];
            squeeze.request(player.id, ["albums", 0, 1000], function (reply){
                console.log(reply.result);
            });
            squeeze.request(player.id, ["songs", 0, 1000], function (reply){
                console.log(reply.result);
            });
        }
    });
});

which returns me an array of albums and songs.

Here is an example song :

[{ id: 484,
       title: 'Btoum-Roumada',
       genre: 'Braindance',
       artist: 'Aphex Twin',
       album: 'drukqs (Disc Two)',
       duration: '116.818' }]

I was hoping that i could just do:

squeeze.request(player.id, ["play", song.id], function (reply){
       console.log(reply.result);
});

But that does nothing... but is almost in tune with how their URLs work

have you found a way to communicate with it to do this ?

In the web interface you would put in a url like this to play songs ( as its doesnt seem to go through the json request to actually play)

http://<URL>:9000/clixmlbrowser/clicmd=browselibrary+items&linktitle=BROWSE_BY_ARTIST&mode=artists/index.html?index=51.0&player=6e%3A24%3A51%3A96%3A68%3Aa2&sess=

or to just tell the players to start playing :

http://<URL>:9000/status_header.html?p0=play&player=<PLAYER ID>

I notice in your squeezeplayer.js class that you touch on the "play" but go no further.

Alternatively I could use their telnet interface to communicate with it, but in my opinion slightly overkill.

Thanks

Control register

Hi

I'm a new developer in node.js and I use you amazing project for build new squeezebox UI.

It's work good for the moment, but now I want to handle the connection error.

How I know if the function .on it's ok ?

squeeze.on('register', function(){
//you're ready to use the api, eg.
squeeze.getPlayers( function(reply) {
console.dir(reply);
});
});

If I try without logitech server, I have :

\node_modules\squeezenode\server.js:98
var apps = reply.result.appss_loop;
^
TypeError: Cannot read property 'appss_loop' of undefined

The node continue without connection.

});

}

Does the demo code require Spotify Plugin?

I can't seem to get the Demo code to work. It runs, and I get the command prompt but none of the commands work, not even 'help'. I don't get any errors. Could this be due to the lack of Spotify plugin on LMS?

npm install does not install dependencies.

When npm install squeezenode is executed, it does not install it's dependencies (jayson for now)

Steps to reproduce:

1. npm install squeezenode
2. cd node_modules/squeezenode

Expected: node_modules drectory present with jayson installed as dependency.
Actual: dependencies not present.

Error: Cannot find module 'squeezenode'

When using the example code in your readme I get the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'squeezenode'
offcourse I did a npm install in the folder.
