Apologies up front if I’m posting to the wrong forum.
I am using websockets to play music files from a computer to volumio on an RPi 3 - the music files are on the computer, and I do not wish to mount the drive on volumio or otherwise share the files, simply to serve them dynamically using a web server on the computer.
I have tried passing the file’s URL as the URI argument to addToQueue, for example
io.emit(‘addToQueue’ , {‘uri’:‘http://192.168.4.23:45376//media//music//pfm//geranio.flac’})
but this doesn’t seem to work. Is this doable, or does the URI argument to addToQueue have to point to volumio’s local filing system?
Thanks for any help.
