[Release] Samsung Multiroom WiFi Audio

djgutheinz · September 9, 2020, 3:15pm

Updated driver to version 3.2.2.
Changes;

Added function "kickStartQueue" that can be executed on device page or in rules.
Changed logic in add to queue to call previous function on adding element to queue.
Run kickStartQueue sixty seconds after last queue entry is processed.

Update:

Use Import function on driver edit page
Update using Hubitat Package Manager
Link to raw code: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DaveGut/HubitatActive/master/SamsungMultiroom/MultiRoomDriver.groovy

This brings to mind yet another addition (no one really needs it). A function to stop the queue playing until you get home. Then kickStartQueue to play all messages queue while you were gone. Could add the time to the queue messages while in this mode.

Thanks

I think this is a bad side effect to the auto que resetting.... I an announcement comes through while a station is playing it never resumes.

djgutheinz · September 10, 2020, 10:51pm

Yeah. It probably does not have the reset data. Did your queue hang again? (sigh)

Evilborg · September 10, 2020, 11:03pm

Nope -- just doesn't resume after the TTS announcement.

djgutheinz · September 10, 2020, 11:15pm

did not change that part of code. Will look at this weekend.

Evilborg · September 10, 2020, 11:17pm

Thanks

Well que is still getting stuck

djgutheinz · September 11, 2020, 10:42am

And resume play is always false, which gives me a clue and a question:

Question: What are you using to call the text?

playText
playTextAndRestore
playTextAndResume
speak

?????

Evilborg · September 11, 2020, 10:56am

Speak

djgutheinz · September 12, 2020, 5:33pm

Driver Update. The driver has been updated to version 3.3.3. Location is same. Make sure the version is 3.3.3.

Issue: hanging queue.
Cause: attribute trackData used in queue recovery was being written with incorrect data for URL playback. (Url playback information can not be extracted from device. It is set when URL is started
Corrective Actions:
- Updated setTrackDescription to NOT run when URL is playing
- Updated Refresh to not run getSource nor setTrackDescription whe URL is playing
- Simplified recovery data to recoveryVolume only. All other data will be captured from attributes at time of recovery.
- Fixed kickQueue to set the state notificationPlaying to false if queue is empty.

Evilborg · September 13, 2020, 12:19am

Eureka!! That seems to have fixed the quing issue.

djgutheinz · September 13, 2020, 12:47am

10 fingers crossed here. Kind of hard to type.

tgrant48 · September 13, 2020, 2:53pm

Good morning. I was very intrigued when I saw your post about presets. I use this same app with my Samsung R1 and love it, however I only use it for simple TTS notifications. I like to listen to Fox News and saw that link in your post, it works well when I run it in my browser but for the life of me I can't wrap my head around how to insert it into the app. Any help (instructions) will be greatly appreciated.

djgutheinz · September 13, 2020, 3:40pm

You do not need the URL to play Fox News Radio.

Open the Samsung Multiroom App
Go to iHeartRadio
Select Discover
Search "Fox News Radio"
Select Live Stations
Select Fox News Radio
Open the Hubitat R1 Device
Select Refresh and wait one minute for the data to update.
go down to Preset Create
Enter a number (1 - 6) and execute the function.

From then on, selecting Play Preset and the number will play fox news.

As far as playing direct, it does not like the www format the browser uses at all (immediate failure). For radio.com, the format is "https://streams.radio.co/STATION ID/listen. If you can get the fox news station id, the you are set to go.

Does someone (@Evilborg) know how to get the station URL?

tgrant48 · September 13, 2020, 3:47pm

Thanks! I'll give it a try

tray_e · September 13, 2020, 4:02pm

Does this work with Pandora or any of the other streaming services?

djgutheinz · September 13, 2020, 4:36pm

Yes. But be aware, this integration is for the Samsung Multiroom series of speaker and soundbars. The device MUST be controlled via the Samsung Multiroom Application. It will not work on newer or older Samsung speakers.

I have tested on Tune-In, Pandora, iHeartRadio, and 8tracks. I have not tested (due to required subscription cost) on other services - but they may work.

The button feature is my favorite. Using a button device and knowing the button number for a preset, you can cause preset music to play using Rule Machine.

tray_e · September 13, 2020, 4:47pm

I am using the R1's on Samsung multiroom

I was not able to add a preset for Pandora though in Hubitat.
Was thinking it would be cool to add a preset to start pandora when I turn on my gym light.
***** NVMND***** Apparently I also had to refresh the device page All good now

djgutheinz · September 13, 2020, 4:55pm

See the above. I just tested for 60's Folk and it worked fine.
