Some questions (autoplay, minimal setup)

Open Pat71 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, first: great work!

I have some questions:

  1. is it possible to autoplay tracks? Maybe via an API/JS-call?
  2. is it possible to start WebAMP without EQ and PL window open?
  3. when playing a stream, is it possible to update the metadata (i.e. the track data displayed in WebAMP)? Maybe through an API call?

Thanks!

...or maybe there is some info on the API somewhere?

Hey, sorry it took me a bit to reply here:

  1. Not really. Browsers work hard to prevent autoplay since it gets abused.
  2. There is not currently a public API to do this, but I think we should add one. In the mean time you could probably hack one if you need to. I've split that out into #1025 and I'll try to get you some way to hack that soon while I think about the real API that we would need.
  3. Interesting question. Not currently without a hack. How does real Winamp handle this? Are they just stuck with a single set of metadata per stream?

I'd love to hear more about what you're trying to build. Maybe I can help think of other creative solutions that we could employ.
