Play Playlist with (c)vlc, listen it local AND stream it - it stops after one played item

[dafosy]

Hello Community,

I set up an alarm-clock in the childrens room. There the music starts each schoolday-morning and play nice tracks to wake the little ones up. I realised it with an raspberrypi and a home-stereo-system. This works pretty well.

pi@raspberrypi:~/Musik $ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="11"
VERSION="11 (bullseye)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian

Now they asked, if I can put the same playlist to the stereo-system in the kitchen during breakfast. There is a raspberry-system as well.

volumio@volumio:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="8"
VERSION="8 (jessie)"
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian
HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/"

The advantage is, that the playlist is build each morning new. The reason is, that a kind of shuffle-system brings different music each morning.

So lets call the playlist in the following example: 20220118-0959_playlist.txt.

I start the children-room raspberry with a script at the wakeup-time with

Code: Select all

cvlc $(cat /media/ramdisk/20220118-0959_playlist.txt) --sout '#duplicate{dst=es{access-audio=http,mux-audio=ts,dst=:8090},dst=display' --sout-all --sout-keep

I start the kitchen raspberry with a smarthome button and a Skript with

Code: Select all

cvlc --alsa-audio-device softvol http://192.168.0.28:8090

So far so good. BUT!
The kitchen one plays just one item of the playlist. Especially the one which is played on the childrenrooms streamserver in the moment I start the kitchen-pi.

Is there anyone who can give me advice for using the "--sout-keep" for my example right? So that the kitchen-pi plays the whole stream and didnt stop after one track of the playlist.

Thx

By the way, this is how the playlist looks like:

Code: Select all

nano /media/ramdisk/20220118-0959_playlist.txt

You probably need to use the gather module here, but it will only work if all files are really MPEG-1/2 Audio.

I will try the gather module asap. I let you know.

Hey Folks,

I'll let you know how I solved my problem. At least I found this link: https://linux.goeszen.com/vlc-streaming-guide.html

So in my case I'll fit the following line to my skript:

Code: Select all

cvlc $(cat /media/ramdisk/20220915-0630_playlist.txt) --sout '#duplicate{dst=display,dst="gather:std{access=mmsh,mux=asfh,dst=:8090/stream.asf}"}' --sout-keep --loop

and play it remotely with:

Code: Select all

mmsh://192.168.0.28:8090/stream.asf

So long, It seems to be working.
