I will try this! Seems to be exactly what I wanted! Thanks alot.
I tried it, but i get

What can i do?
Edit: A a small file called â.txtâ is saved containing only â0 0 0â
Should have read the code!
Now i get:

Edit: Tried it with a Spotify playlist and with a ânormalâ one.
Edit: Volume set does work. kitchen.txt contains only

â0â
Edit: I think something is wrong with the âif-âŚâ. Perhaps it has to do with my system: its FreeBSD not LinuxâŚ
I donât get this bash variable thing. Canât get a working if with a curl variable!
I updated the post above with an example of using the script. I also updated the script so the settings file (player_name.txt) will be saved in the same directory as the script files. It works for me on both regular and spotify (remote stream) playlists.
Yeah, you might be having issues due to bash shell differences⌠this should really be re-written using python. Anyone???
Ok, good to hear! How are you using it in home assistant? Are you using a âscript:â with a âsequence:â like in my example above? Just wondering.
At the moment iâm still testing. Want to use (and already tried) it as a part of an automation. But Iâm not sure about this.
Your script is working, but my Squeezeboxes (radio & touch) are completely out of sync after the resume-script. I think its more a squeezebox-problem than a problem of HASS, so i will try to find a solution in the Squeezebox-Forum.
I did some quick tests with synchronization and it seems to work fine for me. In my tests the script was only ever dealing with one player (kitchen). I did a test where the kitchen player was the sync master and one where it was the sync follower. In both tests the alert was played on both players and both players resumed playing music in sync with each other. Check your squeezebox player settings and make sure âMaintain synchronization while playingâ option is selected. I am not synchronizing player volume or power⌠not sure if it matters. In my test I used a SB Classic and a SB Boom. Note, I generally keep synchronization off and didnât test the script much with synchronization turned on.
@smazman
I´ve notice one bug with the script.
When the playlist is restored it starts playing even if the player was off before.
I´m using your original script not the two with the save/restore ones.
I canât reproduce the behavior you mentioned, but I made some updates related to power handling in the original script (first post). I also updated the script in post 15 to take an optional parameter to not restore the playlist (so it should allow similar behavior to the script in the first post). Let me know how it goes.
Thank you I´ll try this.
I was a bit unclear before, I´m using the script in post 15.
Did you do any changes to this one except the flag?
Do I understand it right that there are atm 3 different versions?
First post, used by you
15th post, used by me
and the split version used by mrmuppet
Oh ok sorry, I thought you were using the script in the first post. Iâm not sure exactly what I updated in the script at post 15 at this point⌠I updated it a few times now. Grab the current one and let me know if you still see the issue. If so, try running it from the command line and post the output.
I am actually now using both the script at post 15 and the split script⌠depending on if I want to play a local mp3 or if I want to use TTS.
Just came across this thread and although Iâm not a HA user I do use Domoticz and I just published a perl script that does something very similar to what the bash scripts here do. Check out the wiki entry over at Domoticz:
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Logitech_Media_Server#Audio_Alerts_via_Squeezebox_Players
Anyone else having issues with this and resuming playlist from Spotty?
After TTS message it seems it can´t restore the list
on post 20 can you separate out the scripts for others that might be confused save and restore are kind of mashed together in the post. 
But the script is awesome finally got it working for me. Are you also using HTTP not HTTPS as your base URL?
I couldnât figure out how to edit post 20, so Iâll just include the code here againâŚ

I can see that in the script above you have google tts working with Squeezebox.
Do you use SSL (Let´s crypt)?
EDIT: I was trying the save/restore version of the script.
But all I get in my Kitchen.txt is:
1
0
0
â40â
â0â
@mrMuppet can you give an example of your setup? I can´t get the resume to work anymore, instead I get funny results (tries to resume non-existing playlist for example)
@freelev: I am not using SSL (HTTPS) on my Logitech Media Server (LMS), but I am with Home Assistant. Your Kitchen.txt file looks correct. That file just holds the power, playmode, time, volume and repeat settings for your player so those settings can be read back in and restored after the alert is played on your squeezebox. The actual squeezebox playlist is saved in a folder determined by your LMS settings. If you go to the LMS web interface you should see a playlist called âKitchenâ.
Hi
Thank you, I´ll check my playlist folder when I`m back home. Maybe it is something with permissions to that folder.
I don´t use SSL on my LMS either, still TTS does not work for me.
Are you using Let´s Encrypt?
If so, can you please post how your base_url and TTS config looks like?
I have currently two issues
- playlist not restoring as it should
- TTS not working (need to use pre-created files)
no 2 I can live with, no 1 would be nice to solve
