Topic: Send current track to third party
Hi,

I would like to display on a third party app/system the current track playing.
My use case is being able to display it on a Awtrix display - (It's like a LaMetric device but open source).

Is there a way to acheive that ?

Thanks a lot team !

tracklist.txt from ...VDJ/history folder
you could pull details on demand with networkcontrol plugin.
For windows I've made plugins that write to a text file the moment the master designation swaps sides.
 
Thanks, what is your plugin ?
And i don't find networkcontrol plugin ?
Could you help me ?
Thanks
 
pfff we simple search i find the networkplugin sorry.
 
Now I need to find how to use the API.
I search this time ;) but I don"t find any documentation.
 
 
Ok got it ! You rock thanks !
 
I made progress ; )

I'm able to get the current song from deck 1 & 2 and if the song is audible.
And after i'm able to send the rigth message based on those values on my display.

But for that I need to call 6 times the query?script API 


// DECK 1
1) query?script=deck 1 get_loaded_song 'title' 
2) query?script=deck 1 get_loaded_song 'artist' 
3) query?script=deck 1 is_audible

// DECK 2
4) query?script=deck 2 get_loaded_song 'title' 
5) query?script=deck 2 get_loaded_song 'artist' 
6) query?script=deck 2 is_audible


Perhaps there is a better way to do it no ?

Thanks
 
query?script=deck master get_artist_title
 
ok but it does not take into account if the track is playing.
But at least it saves some api call
 
Ok with the combination of 
deck master is_audible

I do what i want.
So 2 calls instead of 6. not bad ! ;)

Thanks
 
query?script=deck master is_audible ? deck master get_artist_title
 
Thanks again ;)

So with that if no sound on master i get error:1 else i get the Artist - Title of the deck that is playing.
If 2 decks is playing i got the one with the "biggest crossfader".

Now only one request !
Super cool !
Thanks Big Virtual Dj Master !
 
query?script=deck master is_audible ? deck master get_artist_title : get_text ''
 
I start to understand the syntax
And how i can mix multiple information like title artist and the remix with the key "get_remix_after_title" ?
After i think/hope i can be autonomous ;)

I try 
query?script=deck master is_audible ? deck master get_artist_title & deck master get_remix_after_title: get_text ''
but does not work
 
query?script=deck master is_audible ? get_text '`deck master get_artist_title` `deck master get_remix_after_title`' : get_text ''


composite get_* queries need to be consolidated with 
get_text '`script grab a thing` outside of the backticks can be raw text `grab another script thing` more raw text if you want'


query?script=deck master is_audible ? get_text '`deck master get_artist_title` `deck master get_remix_after_title`' : get_text ''
 
Thanks a lot ! it works perfectly !
Here the result :
