Control via Intents ?

[Tiemichael]

Describe the feature you want to implement:

I would like to control Auxio via Tasker by sending Intents like
INTENT_PLAYBACK_COMMAND_PLAY = "auxio.command.PLAY";

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

Why do you think this will improve everyone's usage of Auxio?

This feature allows to control Axio eg from a car-steering wheel, or integrate into other projects.
There are a few audio-players like GoneMad or PowerAmp which offer this feature, but non of them is free.

Due Diligence:

• [* ] I have read Accepted Additions and Requests and the Contribution Guidelines.

Thanks!

Can you try using these intent names?

ACTION_AUXIO_LOOP_
ACTION_AUXIO_SHUFFLE_
ACTION_AUXIO_SKIP_PREV_
ACTION_AUXIO_SKIP_PLAY_PAUSE_
ACTION_AUXIO_SKIP_NEXT_

These are used in the notification code to control the app, so they may work in your case as well.

Thanks for your reply!
I did some tests but not yet successful.
When looking at the source-code I see ACTION_PLAY_PAUSE and some others but not ACTION_AUXIO_SKIP_PLAY_PAUSE_
Will do some more tests over the next days ...

Wait, I forgot. In the current version the word release is appended to the actions to prevent conflicts with the debug app. Can you try:

ACTION_AUXIO_LOOP_release
ACTION_AUXIO_SHUFFLE_release
ACTION_AUXIO_SKIP_PREV_release
ACTION_AUXIO_SKIP_PLAY_PAUSE_release
ACTION_AUXIO_SKIP_NEXT_release

Thanks!
I am sure it's possible, but I am not experienced enough to get it going.
Need to get some help from another forum.

BTW, are you sure it's ACTION_AUXIO_SKIP_PLAY_PAUSE_release and not ACTION_AUXIO_PLAY_PAUSE_release

[OxygenCobalt]

Its ACTION_AUXIO_PLAY_PAUSE_release, accidentally pasted it wrong.

I'm assuming that this issue is solved as of now. A quick note before I close it though, I've updated the wording of the actions. In 1.4.1, they will now be:

org.oxycblt.auxio.action.LOOP
org.oxycblt.auxio.action.SHUFFLE
org.oxycblt.auxio.action.PREV
org.oxycblt.auxio.action.PLAY_PAUSE
org.oxycblt.auxio.action.NEXT

I hope this helps!

Thanks! will try

Don't try them on the current version though! I'm talking about the next version.
