LoadPlaylist with spaces and imported playlists

[davie2000]

I have installed node-raumserver on my Ubuntu-14-Server and it works at a glance! Thanks for that piece of software!!!

Loading a Raumfeld-Playlist named "BestOf" is easy:
http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/raumserver/controller/loadPlaylist?value=BestOf

But what to do when the name is "Best of" (with space between)?
Quoting the value with " does not work.

And how is it working with "imported playlists" e.g. named "1-4_ALLES.m3u"?
These are part of my music stored on my NAS imported into Raumfelds music library.

Thank you very much for your reply!

Background is that I want to use Siri to control my raumfeld device. Simple commands like "Hey Sir, next" or "pause" are already working.

Try ?value=Best%20Of
For zones with spaces it works that way.

As gahujipo mentioned you should use %20 for spaces (Url encode)
This should work!

oops I could have come to that by myself, sorry.
Thanks for your fast answers!

And what about the "imported playlists"? Is there a way to start them via raumserver? TiA

i think it should be possible.
You may have to use "loadContainer" request with the correct containerId (in fact loadPlaylist is only a loadContainer with a specific container id)
so for the Imported Playlist the container Id is
0/Playlists/Imported/ --> 0%2FPlaylists%2FImported%2
That means a request for loading an imported playlist may look like this:
loadContainer?id=0%2FPlaylists%2FImported%2PlaylistName

I didnt have tested it. It may be that you have to keep the slashes like so:
loadContainer?id=0/Playlists/Imported/My%20Playlist

Thanks again for the fast reply!

I tried both:
192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/raumserver/controller/loadContainer?id=0%2FPlaylists%2FImported%2F2_EINZELTITEL.m3u and
192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/raumserver/controller/loadContainer?id=0/Playlists/Imported/2_EINZELTITEL.m3u
and all leads to error

errorMessage | "Error: VirtualMediaRenderer for id '0/Playlists/Imported/2_EINZELTITEL.m3u' not found"
errorData | null

I have loaded the playlist 2_EINZELTITEL with the app and checked (with getRendererState) that the "cid" in the "AVTransportURI" was named like "0%2FPlaylists%2FImported%2F2_EINZELTITEL.m3u".
Also tried without ".m3u".

Jea sorry,
It should be something like
loadContainer?id=Schlafzimmer&value=0/Playlist....
In fact the same structure as loadPlaylist

Yuhuuuu ... it works!
Thank you very much for your help and the great software!

One other question: is it possible with raumserver to add the currently playing (local) song to a defined playlist?
In raumkernel i found a method 'addItemToPlaylist' (in "lib.queueController.zonePlaylist.js"), but I can't find anything similar in "node-raumserver/lib/requestHandlers/".
Background: I want to add songs (actually playing) to a playlist "like" or "dont_like" with an URL (which could later be called directly from Siri)

Different topic but @davie2000
would you elaborate on the Siri - Raumfeld Integration?

[davie2000]

As I am just beginning to try it out I can only give you a short "manual":
You need the app "Kurzbefehle" (shortcuts) from the app store.
There you can cobble together "URL" (=your desired raumserver-action) and "get content from URL".
Then you can give this shortcut a name and a you can record a "Siri phrase" to activate it.
Then you can say "Hey Siri, play" and your iPhone calls the raumserver-command "play".

You can do so for every URL-command.
Actually I am trying to get Siri to listen to "Hey Siri, load 'individual playlist'" without having a single shortcut for every known playlist. Altough this is cool already.

Nope, currently not.
The kernel does have the ability to update playlists (add/delete and move items ) but there are no requests for that. It should be possible to create such a request you want, but i cant promise you that i have time to do that :-)

Ok, thx4info!
I would be glad if you find time for that feature.
But as I want to take a look at myself, I would appreciate if you could answer some questions I surely will have then ;-)
