Great! :sunglasses:

I think you could use the WebSocket APIs https://volumio.github.io/docs/API/WebSocket_APIs.html. I would put together a node.js script and call the script like this from lircrc config = /usr/local/bin/yourscript.js "yourwebradio"
The script could contain something like posted here https://volumio.org/forum/few-useful-node-scripts-t6247.html#p30667. See the third example for playing webradio. Maybe a shorter timeout suffices but I had no time to test the code at all.

10

I successfully tested the following code:[code]#!/bin/node

var io = require(‘socket.io-client’);
var socket = io.connect(‘http://localhost:3000’);
socket.emit(‘clearQueue’);
var fs = require(‘fs’);
var content = fs.readFileSync(’/data/favourites/my-web-radio’);
var webradios = JSON.parse(content);
var radio = webradios.find(o => o.name === process.argv[2]);

if (radio == null) {
socket.disconnect();
} else {
socket.emit(‘addPlay’, {‘service’:radio.service,‘title’:radio.name,‘uri’:radio.uri});
socket.on(‘pushState’, function() { socket.disconnect(); } );
}

setTimeout(function() { socket.disconnect(); }, 500);

[/code]
To create a .js file with the code above in e.g. /usr/local/bin connect to volumio via ssh and open the nano editor:

nano /usr/local/bin/yourscript.js

Copy and paste the code into nano then close nano saving the file:

Ctrl+x y Return
The script needs socket.io-client. If it has not been installed yet run npm install socket.io-client
After that lircrc can call the script with the name of the desired webradio station (which has to be be added to “My Web Radios” before of course) as parameter:

config = /usr/local/bin/yourscript.js "yourwebradio"

Edit:
The example above covers selecting a radio station from my web radios and not from radio favourites. But that is easily possible, too. Just change “var content = fs.readFileSync(’/data/favourites/my-web-radio’);” to var content = fs.readFileSync('/data/favourites/radio-favourites'); and “socket.emit(‘addPlay’, {‘service’:radio.service,‘title’:radio.name,‘uri’:radio.uri});” to socket.emit('addPlay', {'service':radio.service,'title':radio.title,'uri':radio.uri});

You need to run npm install socket.io-client first.

16

First off all thank u so much to your answer i am very glad to see your post :slight_smile: last night a few hours tried to solve but i can’t
I already did it but i think some problem during install

Looks just like warnings. Did you try running your script nonetheless?

Could be you need to install built-essential sudo apt-get install build-essential then install socket.io-client package again.

Gvolt do you have another idea?..
Last night again minimum 3 hours tried but no solution :frowning:

You could have a look into /usr/local/bin. Amongst others there should be a file “package-lock.json” and a folder named “node-modules” containing a folder “socket.io-client” with the files of the socket.io-client module. If these files and/or folders should be missing this would be the reason of your error. If they should exist rename the file “package-lock.json” and the folder “node-modules” to keep them just as a precaution. Then run npm install socket.io-client from /usr/local/bin.

Back on working on the player.
Yesterday, After installing a fresh copy of Volumio on my SmartiPi Touch 2 I took the Jumper wire and connect to gpio22 on the Pi 4 and access the Volumio in the browser. I went over and selected Justboom ir remote and the gpio configuration also to gpio22 and saved and restarted the player. Out of the blue on the JustBoom remote, i started pressing buttons on it and noticed on the screen that it volume/ Mute/ Radom/ shuffle and power button was working but not for the play, next pause and the Ok button would work. But the volume would. Today, i booted up the SmartiPiTouch 2 and nothing wouldn’t work not even the volume and mute buttons. So, i had to do another install of Volumio and select gpio17 on the Pi and in the configuration. So, why would it work one day and the next, it didn’t work

Because you don’t read or do what has been asked.
I’ve told you to check which GPIO’s are in use by your DAC (Hifiberry)
So read it and determine if GPIO-17 was a smart choice. (Hint: No)
