Controlling media stuff on my NAS (synology)
Jon
Member
Hi guys,
I own a NAS (synology) probably just like many of you guys. On the NAS there's my music/movie/media collection, accessed through (quite handy) mobile apps from Synology.
Wondering how listening to music, watching a movie etc will work once Homey is there. Is it needed that Synology has to update the apps to support Homey. Or will there be some kind of work around to speech control my music and movies.
(in your demo video you start videos by speech control, but this is done through Plex)

Indexing local files is quite a problem of its own, so we best leave that to the community IMHO, as it's not our strength.

for reference...
I didn't do extensive tests to find out what was wrong since I now connect to my camera directly with FFMPEG, without Surveillance station, and that worked. So I might be wrong.
The audio-part was added on feb. 15th so I'd think it still works... Also when I open
http://10.0.0.3:5000/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=<USER>&passwd=<PASSWORD>
and after that:
http://10.0.0.3:5000/webapi/AudioStation/playlist.cgi?api=SYNO.AudioStation.Playlist&version=2&method=list
it does list my playlists
using latest firmware version DSM 6.0-7321

First login:
http://10.0.3.23:5000/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=username&passwd=pass
Then list my music players:
http://10.0.3.23:5000/webapi/AudioStation/remote_player.cgi?api=SYNO.AudioStation.RemotePlayer&version=1&method=list
Select the UID from the player you wish to send the music to, then load a playlist to the player
http://10.0.3.23:5000/webapi/AudioStation/remote_player.cgi?api=SYNO.AudioStation.RemotePlayer&method=updateplaylist&library=shared&id=uuid:00000081-0000-F000-0000-0017c42af4e7&offset=0&limit=0&play=true&version=2&containers_json=[{type:playlist,id:playlist_shared_normal/176}]
where the json part should be URL encoded
and start playing:
http://10.0.3.23:5000/webapi/AudioStation/remote_player.cgi?api=SYNO.AudioStation.RemotePlayer&method=control&action=play&value=0&id=uuid:00000081-0000-F000-0000-0017c42af4e7&version=2
Pause playing:
http://10.0.3.23:5000/webapi/AudioStation/remote_player.cgi?api=SYNO.AudioStation.RemotePlayer&method=control&action=pause&value=0&id=uuid:00000081-0000-F000-0000-0017c42af4e7&version=2
Next:
http://10.0.3.23:5000/webapi/AudioStation/remote_player.cgi?api=SYNO.AudioStation.RemotePlayer&method=control&action=next&value=0&id=uuid:00000081-0000-F000-0000-0017c42af4e7&version=2
All without setting cookies...
And now the question is: who will build this app?
http://10.0.3.23:5000/webapi/VideoStation/movie.cgi?api=SYNO.VideoStation.Movie&version=1&method=list
lists my movies so that's one thing. Don't know how to select the player yet... See:
https://github.com/zzarbi/synology/blob/master/src/Synology/VideoStation/api.json
i have tring PLeX and itunes with no result
i also have a nas with all my media.
and i want to play mine music on a android phone without downloading them an the phone.
so streaming from nas to android with the use of HOMEY.
something like OK HOMEY play TOP 40 ON android phone
problems a i"ve met - can't pair homey to itunes on the nas.
- the PLEX app on homey don"t seem te load the media
- on the itunes app on homey i don"t see the option play top 40 to android.
so i hope one of you guys can help put me in the right direction
Plex is only for video for now. Don't know about itunes. Squeezebox icm Logitech does dlna-players so for now that seems like the best way to go. Don't know if you might also add a phone in the mix though...
you can't put a phone in homey to play music.
i thought plex will be the app for it but plex still don"t work.
who got an idea what i should use?
What happens if you install this app? From the description this should work..
