This is the format of the automation action that works for me: action: Songs previously in the playlist are discarded. The 'playlist loadalbum' command puts songs matching the specified genre artist and album criteria on the playlist. The documentation for the CLI under “Playlist Commands and Queries” says playlist loadalbum

TIDAL CONNECT SQUEEZEBOX HOW TO

Spent a while today trying to figure out how to play a specific album…took a bit of testing to figure out how to specify the parameters. service: squeezebox.call_methodĮntity_id: media_player. I’ve tried it, but it doesn’t work quite right. How can i replace media_content_id with the following. I hope it gives someone else a bit of a start on how to use the API with HA. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and may seem simplistic, but it wasn’t obvious to me at first how to even get started. 'spotify:playlist:48wQfF1DX9wR2KY45plZ' One entry extracted from the query attribute looks like this (this one is fake): - id: 29753 playlist: 'Spotify: My Great Playlist' extid: 'spotify:playlist:48wQfF1DX9wR2KY45plZ'Įxample automation that plays a Spotify playlist, whose big long id I got from the service call above: alias: SQ Play My Spotify Playlist You can see the info in the media player’s attribute query. This service call lists the first 20 playlists and shows the extid tag, which is needed for Spotify (or other external) playlists. I’m going to get some NFC tags to play with soon.Įxample automation that plays a local playlist called “My Local Playlist”: alias: SQ Play Local PlaylistĪutomation to pause the player (this acts like a toggle-if I pause the player, I can slide the cube another time to start it playing again): alias: SQ pause toggle I’m using my Magic Cube as a trigger in the following automations because it was an easy way to test what I was doing, but you can obviously use whatever you want. The documentation about the API that can be found at is a bit obtuse, but now that I have a start I can continue on from here.

Fun and highly recommended! I’ve been playing with how to integrate them into HA today, and figured out how to create some automations after a lot of trial and error, so I thought I’d share. I use Ubuntu and recommend you stay away from Fedora for this application.I only recently discovered Squeezebox/Logitech Media Server, and have built a piCoreplayer/server with a Raspberry Pi (and have two PCs using Squeezelite-X for players). I really like this as a music server, but installation is a bit of a pain. You don't even half to use a real SBT in the mix.

I can use my Android devices to control either. In a separate room I use an actual Squeezebox Touch which gets it’s music from the same SqueezePlayer pc.

On the same PC I have SqueezeLite which acts as a client, and controls the Brooklyn in the living room. It may not be clear, but I use the SqueezePlayer on a Linux server to manage my music. Maybe this has been addressed by the author. Native DSD player interfaces need less bandwidth, so can play 4x natively over USB. I don’t think it has a native DSD / USB player yet. Sadly, this only works up to 2x DSD because of the limits in USB bandwidth. On my Linux media server, SqueezeLIte does very well with 384kHz PCM and 2xDSD over S/PDIF to my Mytek Brooklyn.

I think there’s a kit out there to create a SB clone, now that they are gone from the market.

:) Should also be able to use it with Rasberyy PI variants as well. You can also use SqueezeLite to convert any laptop/pc into a virtual SB player. Yep, the Squeezebox Touch (SBT) does work, up to 96 kHz/24 bit digital output.
