Programatically interacting with Background Music (such as through a CLI)

[thiagoeh]

My end objective is to able to have a timer that automatically adjust the volume of an specific application on Background Music. Instead of directly asking for this feature, which maybe put at low priority and never be implemented, I would to do a feature request for a way to programatically adjust the volume for a single application. Maybe something such as a CLI interface (for which I would build a simple shell script to implement the timer and final command to adjust the volume).

My use case is to be able to temporarily mute an application (such as a live streaming), and unmute it after some minutes (to check if there is some relevant audio being streamed).

This is possibly a duplicate of https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic/issues/278 but I will leave to the maintainers to give a verdict on that.

(Thanks for the project! It's very useful to me).

I think the AppleScript API would work for you. @marcuswu added support for changing app volumes recently. https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic/tree/master/BGMApp/BGMApp/Scripting
