Device Settings

To list available settings, use settings command.

$ songpal settings

Do note that some settings (e.g. bluetooth settings) are not listed in the global settings tree, but have to be separatedly accessed using the bluetooth command.

Executing custom commands

For experimenting it can be useful to execute arbitrary commands against the endpoint. You can access the available methods by calling songpal list_all.

command can be used for that as follows:

$ songpal command system getSystemInformation

Notification support

The protocol supports subscribing to notifications on subsystem basis. Executing songpal notifications without any parameters will list available notifications.

Every notification can be listened to separately, or alternatively all notifications from a single subsystem can be subscribed to.

$ songpal notifications --listen-all avContent
