Open GeekyEggo opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Purpose

This issue aims to centralize the discussion of adding a new action that allows users to play audio from a folder.

Overview

It should be possible, from a new action, to select a folder, and then play audio from that folder when pressing the action. The action should provide a lot of the functionality seen within the existing "Play Audio" action, i.e. device selection and playback action.

Options

  • [ ] Playback Device
    • Should include "Default" and "Default (Communications)"
    • Show list all other playback devices.
  • [ ] Folder
    • The folder that contains the audio files.
  • [ ] Files
    • [ ] All(default)
    • [ ] First (fulfils #38)
    • [ ] Last
  • [ ] Order
    • [ ] Date created
    • [ ] Date modified
    • [ ] File name (default)
    • [ ] Random
    • [ ] Title (ID3 tag)
    • [ ] Track Order (ID3 tag)
  • [ ] Action
    • Play / Next (default)
    • Play / Stop
    • Play All / Stop ¹
    • Loop / Stop
    • Loop All / Stop ¹
    • Loop All / Stop (Reset) ¹

¹ Only available when the files selection is "All"

Requirements

  • [ ] The action must be able to play audio similar to the "Play Audio" action.
  • [ ] The action must automatically detect file changes for the selected folder.
  • [ ] The action must support the following file formats
    • [ ] MP3, *.mp3, *.mpga
    • [ ] OGG, *.oga, *.ogg, *.opus
    • [ ] WAV, *.wav
