0.3 beta Pi2 MPD play does not resume when Airplay stops

mdruni

Hi,

I noticed when upgrading from RPi to Pi2 that the Airplay behaviour changed a bit (BTW, I just did a git pull and I'm up to date with the dev branch).

On my RPi if an MPD playlist was playing and I interrupted it by sending Rune some audio via AirPlay, as soon as the AirPlay source was disabled the MPD playlist would automatically continue where it left off.

I really liked this feature.

Using the same version of Rune on the Pi2, the MPD playlist will not automatically continue when the AirPlay source is stopped/disabled. I need to go into the Rune UI and click "Play".

Is it possible for someone to look into this? Perhaps it is intended, but I really like the way it works on the RPi

Thanks!
Mike.

Hi Mike,

you can try to comment out this line

            if ($status['state'] === 'play') {
                // pause playback
                sendMpdCommand($sock, 'pause');
                // debug
                runelog('sendMpdCommand', 'pause');
            }

            if ($status['state'] === 'play') {
                // pause playback
                // sendMpdCommand($sock, 'pause');
                // debug
                runelog('sendMpdCommand', 'pause');
            }

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the quick reply! Although it didn't quite work, it pointed me in the right direction.

Uncommenting the following line in the wrk_stopAirplay function changed the behaviour back to the way it was on the RPi.

// sendMpdCommand($sock, 'pause');

The last line in the code clipping below:

function wrk_stopAirplay($redis)
{
...
...
        if ($stoppedPlayer !== '') {
            // we previously stopped playback of one player to use the Airport Stream
            if ($stoppedPlayer === 'MPD') {
                // connect to MPD daemon
                $sock = openMpdSocket('/run/mpd.sock', 0);
                $status = _parseStatusResponse(MpdStatus($sock));
                runelog('MPD status', $status);
                if ($status['state'] === 'pause') {
                    // clear the stopped player if we left MPD paused
                    $redis->set('stoppedPlayer', '');
                }
                sendMpdCommand($sock, 'pause');
...
...

Now when the AirPlay source is paused (or disabled altogether), the MPD source that was paused/locked will continue playing again where it left off. Great!

Thanks again for all the great work! I'm really loving Rune Audio and looking forward to future releases.

Best regards,
Mike.
