Hello Musicbox community. I came across Musicbox today looking for a pi internet radio solution. I love this idea as there isn’t to much programming and ssh’ing involved. The only flaw is that I would like some type of buttons of a little lcd screen on the unit to control it? Similar to these two …

I’m unfamiliar with other methods but here is the section of code to play a specific Spotify playlist if the “play” button is pressed and nothing is loaded already: if pad2pressed and not pad2alreadyPressed: print "Pad 2 pressed // Play/Pause" mpcstatus = subprocess.check_ou…

OK. I meant having preset internet radio channels buttons. So, you toggle it and it starts to play the radio channel. A live stream, therefore does not matter if from beginning every time. But I think that mpc cannot do this, so using os module to control mpc can’t be done?

To use mpc to play a live radio station, when using a remote and LIRC, I get the relevant info from Tunein (tunein:station:s83012) then paste into a notepad file, save as a .m3u file in the playlists directory. then use mpc load ‘name of file here’; mpc play So the actual instruction would look li…

Did you remove some code examples? I think you are correct, and this didn’t come to my mind. At least it is true that .m3u playlists can have streams in them and that they can be put in the playlist directory. If mpc can then play these, then any script referring to mpc should also. I tried to read…

I’m sorry. What happened is that I got confused with two different threads and answered to you on something that was not intended for you at all. Sorry :open_mouth:

Hi! If you’re handy with python I’ve written a simple module to interface with mopidy methods and events via Websockets API. You can find it on https://github.com/ismailof/mopidy-json-client . There is one example which uses a GPIO knob to control volume and mute. Another example shows how to use t…

Oh nice! Another idea I just had is (and this probably has already been done somewhere) would be to control pimusicbox using something like a piezo element over GPIO. You could then have same ipod like control that is offered by the ttsgpio extension only it would recognize knocks. So you could hid…

So, what would be the best way to have a GPIO button play a certain web stream? Should command gstreamer with os in python, or is it better to command mopidy?
