Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] LastFM: Which CLI command to retrieve meta data of the currently playing song
Great!
status - 1 current_title did the trick! Thanks a lot!
It's not formatted like it appears on the display of the squuezebox,
but since I was just playing around, I'm happy with that solution.
Here's what I did, for anybody who's interested:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use warnings;
use strict;
use Net::Telnet;
use URI::Escape;
my $telnet = new Net::Telnet( Timeout=2, Errmode='die') ;
$telnet-open(Host='localhost', Port=9090);
if (runCmd($telnet, 'mode') =~ /play/) {
$_ = runCmd($telnet, 'status', undef, '- 1 current_title:');
/\stitle:(.+?)\s(?:[a-z]+:.*\s)?artist:(.+?)\s[a-z]+:/i;
printf('%s (%s)', $1, $2);
}
sub runCmd {
my ($socket, $cmd, $returnSocket, $value) = @_;
$value = '?' unless $value;
my $fullcmd = [HERE GOES YOUR PLAYERS MAC ADDRESS] $cmd $value;
$socket-print($fullcmd);
$socket-waitfor(/$cmd/i);
return $returnSocket?$socket:getResponse($socket);
}
sub getResponse {
my ($socket) = @_;
return uri_unescape($socket-getline);
}
exit;

[SlimDevices: Plugins] LastFM: Which CLI command to retrieve meta data of the currently playing song
Hey, I recently found GeekTool and want to use it to show the currently playing song on my desktop. I wrote a simple Perl script that gets this data via the telnet interface simply issuing a current_title ? command. This works fine while playing songs from the library, but when it comes to the LastFM Plugin it will show what the playlist shows, namely sth. like 'Recommended Titles' or 'Neighbors'. I didn't yet find a way to get to the information displayed in the player control section above the playlist, the meta data of the currently playing song as retrieved by lastfm.com! I grep'ed through the whole slimserver folder for addDispatch to find any commands that could be useful, tried an awful lot of commands but found nothing. Is there a way to get this information via CLI commands? Thanks a lot in advance!
