Hi,
I’m trying to create some solutions for pairing my amp’s remote controller to volumio through Lirc.
I’m trying to use the websocket API, but I’ve noticed, that sometimes it is messing up the playback (ie not jumping the track back, not playing the next track, or playing some tracks randomly, when I use the stop command).
Is someone who has managed to do this successfully?
I’m the following Python code:
https://github.com/tiborverlics/Volumio_IR_Remote/blob/master/IR_Remote.py
[code]#importing lirc and socketIO client
from socketIO_client import SocketIO, LoggingNamespace
import lirc
#Initiating
socketIO = SocketIO(‘localhost’, 3000)
sockid = lirc.init(“myprogram”,"/etc/lirc/lircrc")
def on_push_state(*args):
global status
status = args[0][‘status’].encode(‘ascii’, ‘ignore’)
global artist
artist = args[0][‘artist’].encode(‘ascii’, ‘ignore’)
global title
title = args[0][‘title’].encode(‘ascii’, ‘ignore’)
global random
random = ‘random’ in args[0]
global seek
seek = args[0][‘seek’]
global duration
duration = args[0][‘duration’]
socketIO.on(‘pushState’, on_push_state)
get initial state
socketIO.emit(‘getState’, ‘’, on_push_state)
socketIO.wait(seconds=0.1)
while True:
button = lirc.nextcode()
if len(button) <> 0:
if button[0] == “Play”:
socketIO.emit(‘play’)
elif button[0] == “Pause”:
socketIO.emit(‘pause’)
elif button[0] == “Stop”:
socketIO.emit(‘stop’)
elif button[0] == “Prev”:
socketIO.emit(‘previous’)
elif button[0] == “Next”:
socketIO.emit(‘next’)
elif button[0] == “Eject”: #Playlist
socketIO.emit(‘playPlaylist’,{‘name’:‘try’})
elif button[0] == “Skip”: #Random
socketIO.emit(‘getState’, ‘’, on_push_state)
socketIO.wait(seconds=0.1)
print ‘random’
if random:
socketIO.emit(‘setRandom’,‘false’)
print ‘setting random off’
else:
print ‘setting random on’
socketIO.emit(‘setRandom’,{‘value’ : ‘true’})
elif button[0] == “For”:
socketIO.emit(‘getState’, ‘’, on_push_state)
socketIO.wait(seconds=0.1)
socketIO.emit(‘seek’,seek/1000+10)
elif button[0] == “Rev”:
socketIO.emit(‘getState’, ‘’, on_push_state)
socketIO.wait(seconds=0.1)
socketIO.emit(‘seek’,max(seek/1000-10,0))
print “Good bye!”[/code]
I would really appreciate if someone could point me what could be the thing that goes wrong
Thanks
