So if I press the “next track” button in GSPlayer, it will tell the backend to move to the next track.
But if the buttons aren’t useful, then who cares? That, and PocketMusic has some stability issues – to the tune of often requiring a soft-reset of the entire phone.Īnyhow, I modified GSPlayer and captured transport control events so that it will send RPC commands to the backend server. It’s a player I’ve used in the past, and I think that I passed it over in favour of PocketMusic because the latter is purtier and has bigger buttons.
So as it turns out, GSPlayer is open-source.
Pipenet 1.7 Bluetooth#
It’s not a mantra that I usually adopt, but in some cases – as with the Bluetooth dongle – it’s acceptable. Sometimes you have to settle with something that works rather than something that’s perfect. And while this is something I may still do, the opening lines of this entry are quite clear in this respect: Time is at a premium. I toyed with the idea of writing an app from scratch. “Wouldn’t it better”, I wondered, “if you could use the player’s transport controls to control the zone directly?!?” You press a transport control on the webpage, and some seconds later (up to 15 seconds in some cases) the streaming buffer gets around to reflecting the changes. Traditionally this has been possible, but it meant having a browser open on the phone and connected to the zone page for the streaming zone in question. Then I hit a joint that’s bangin’ – or lame – and I want to repeat that joint or skip it altogether. I hop in the car, connect to home, and start playing that zone through my phone (and obviously through the car stereo). I’ve got some tracks queued on a streaming zone.
Pipenet 1.7 windows#
I’m talking about playback of streaming zones, and in particular, playback of streaming zones using _my_ Windows Mobile smartphone. Something that should be more useful for me, however, is a project I just completed that’s physically removed from the system at home – but interacts with it nonetheless. It’s not something that I’ll use often, but it’s nice to have.
Pipenet 1.7 download#
This makes it easy to download a selection of tracks to a local device, or download an entire album to Shelly’s phone. One of the bigger useability updates has been to allow the download of a. On the audio front it’s been a case of small updates and bugfixes here and there. On the surveillance side there’s not much to report occupant detection is working, and although I haven’t hacked any USB Bluetooth dongles I can also say that the system is working acceptably as-is so I’m in no rush to change things. It’s still limited to audio and surveillance.
Now, I can’t say that the scope of the project has changed. No, I’m here to continue the chronicle that is my Whole Home Automation journey. I’m not here to bemoan the rapid passing of Time though I’ll leave that for another entry – which may or may not ever get written btw. At the time I thought that the date – August 13th – was soooo far away. Sometime in spring I made tentative plans to see “The Expendables” with a friend in August.
