Control by cron

[pvanthony]

Hi,

Is there a way to pause and start a playlist or music player daemon using cron? Like using curl with http://something?action=pause. If there is another way please let me know.

We need netjukebox to start and stop at specific time.

This is not implemented in netjukebox 6.05.
But for now you can add an little pause.php script:

Code: Select all

<?php 
if (PHP_SAPI != 'cli')
	exit();

require_once('include/initialize.inc.php');
require_once('include/play.inc.php');

if ($cfg['player_type'] == NJB_HTTPQ)
	httpq('pause');
elseif ($cfg['player_type'] == NJB_VLC)
	vlc('pl_pause');
elseif ($cfg['player_type'] == NJB_MPD)
	mpd('pause');

and run:

Code: Select all

php pause.php

This will toggle between play and pause.
For more info look at the play.php script.
