iTunes remote, any interest?

[Dalle1985 16]

Hey guys,

In lack of direct airplay support, I was thinking, since I have all my music in iTunes, I could build a web app to remote control iTunes running on my Mac. It will only work for On Macs though as it relies on AppleScript.

It works through a MySQL database that contains all the music (don't worry, once MySQL is installed, scripts do everything setting up the database) and then the entire library will be available in the remote. It will be possible to create a quick playlist and of course, control your airplay units (I'm trying to create individual volume control, but so far it isn't playing ball).

So if anyone is interested, I will pack everything up nicely and upload it.

I've also created a library (through a php script which runs on the iTunes host) for easy control through a virtual device on the home center (it ought to work for HCL too).

So any interest?

Okay, so everything is working now, but it is a bit of an effort getting it working... Once I have a full library, I'll upload the package.

it will be great to start music in Fibaro scenes.

Hi,

I haven't uplaoded it yet. It doesn't work very reliably. I'm trying to figure out what isn't working, but as soon as I have it functioning, I'll share what I have.

ciao, is there any update to integrate itunes in Fibaro? do you want to share the code? maybe someone can help you to work it.

Hi,

To be honest, I haven't worked on it for a while, but I can share the scripts if anyone wants to give it a go. I'm coming back to it once I have my new tablet interface up and running, but that takes quite a bit of time.

The issue has to do with the built in apache server on the mac which doesn't have the necessary rights to execute the os.execute commands necessary to launch the apple scripts which controls Itunes.
