Streaming internet radio when browsing for games and on screensaver?
-
I really appreciate the help, but sorry, noob here. Should I type this?
# mpg321 /home/pi/radio/list.txt -f <32768>

@mtib Can you post the
autostart.sh
file that you modified to add the music script ? -

while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done (sleep 10; [[ -f /home/pi/radio/list.txt ]] && vlc -I oldrc --rc-fake-tty --rc-unix /tmp/radio.sock -Zq --no-video /home/pi/radio/list.txt >/dev/null 2>&1) & emulationstation --no-splash #auto

So it seems
vlc
has nodirectusable CLI option to pass the volume, however it's possible to usegain
to alter the sound output. The parameter works by multiplying the current volume % with the value. Assuming a 100% volume, then--gain=1
would make the volume be 100%--gain=2
would amplify the volume to 200%--gain=0.3
would make the volume at 30%, etc.
So modify the command line that starts
vlc
in your file, and instead of(sleep 10; [[ -f /home/pi/radio/list.txt ]] && vlc -I oldrc --rc-fake-tty --rc-unix /tmp/radio.sock -Zq --no-video /home/pi/radio/list.txt >/dev/null 2>&1) &
add a
--gain=<X>
parameter with the<X>
to your liking (the line below has--gain=1
):(sleep 10; [[ -f /home/pi/radio/list.txt ]] && vlc --gain=1 -I oldrc --rc-fake-tty --rc-unix /tmp/radio.sock -Zq --no-video /home/pi/radio/list.txt >/dev/null 2>&1) &

@mitu Thankyou so much!!! It works.

Hi, it´s me again :)
I disabled the initial text in Emulation Station with this command:
emulationstation --no-splash #auto
So this way:
emulationstation --no-splash #auto while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done (sleep 10; [[ -f /home/pi/radio/list.txt ]] && vlc --gain=0.5 -I oldrc --rc-fake-tty --rc-unix /tmp/radio.sock -Zq --no-video /home/pi/radio/list.txt >/dev/null 2>&1) &
I have no initial text and also no radio
But when I put on the last line:
while pgrep omxplayer >/dev/null; do sleep 1; done (sleep 10; [[ -f /home/pi/radio/list.txt ]] && vlc --gain=0.5 -I oldrc --rc-fake-tty --rc-unix /tmp/radio.sock -Zq --no-video /home/pi/radio/list.txt >/dev/null 2>&1) & emulationstation --no-splash #auto
I have radio but the initial text persists. Is there a solution for this?

The parameter is correct (
--no-splash
) and theemulationstation
command should always be last. If you run the command from the command line (after exiting Emulationstation), does the splash show up ? -

It doesn`t.

@mtib So the command is correct, are you sure you're typing it right in the file ?

I just copied and pasted, it is the same command. Anyhow the radio script is disabling it. When I change the order it works nomarly.
