Control from Raspberry Pi

[tchinou1]

Hi guys ! I want to control my subsonic server (play, pause, start playlist, maybe the volume) from a Raspberry pi running a Debian server on the same LAN. What would be the best way of doing it ?
Of course, I would also like to still be able to control it from the web or mobile app.

Thanks !

I dont get what you want to achieve but maybe that helps: If you are running raspbian with desktop you can just open the subsonic webinterface in browser and control your subsonic server.

I don't have any visual interface. I have a raspberry pi running a python script and when some conditions are true in the script I want it to start a playlist on the subsonic server in jukebox mode.

Ok i get it ^^,
you want to control subsonic from command line from host ( were subsonic is installed on ! ) am i right ?
so you need a command line client, i found only 2 and they are half graphical
witch means i don't know if you can use the commands in a script !
but try it it may work just fine !

This one is more up to date ^^ !
https://github.com/spl0k/supysonic

https://github.com/tourn/subcl

so from the manual you may need to write ( for subcl programme ) :

Code: Select all

subcl pp [name of playlist]

didn't search for supysonic command but i think you can do it by yourself ! ;p

or maybe if you're ready to do it , build some script with the REST API documentation !

Best regards !

Thanks ! I've wrote a little script using the REST API, but I'll take a look into this !
However I have one problem:
I want to add or set multiple songs to the jukebox queue but it don't work.
If I do this: "action=add&id=85236,2674" I get this: "<jukeboxStatus currentIndex="-1" playing="false" gain="0.741007" position="0"/>"
and if I do this: "action=add&id=85236&id=2674" I get this: "<error code="0" message="NullPointerException"/>"
One song I working great.

Thanks again !
