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.

Group Control

$ songpal group

Group command require using the UPnP URL --url instead of the API --endpoint, and you’ll need the UUIDs of the devices you want to group as well. Both of these can be obtained through the discover function. All group commands should be executed on the master

Creating groups:

$ songpal group --url [upnpurl] create [groupname] [slave uuids]

$ songpal group --url "http://x.x.x.x:52323/dmr.xml" create GroupName uuid:00000000-0000-1010-8000-xxxx uuid:00000000-0000-1010-8000-xxxx

Aborting groups

$ songpal group --url [pnpurl] abort

$ songpal group --url "http://x.x.x.x:52323/dmr.xml" abort

Changing volume

$ songpal group --url [pnpurl] volume [value -100,100]

$ songpal group --url "http://x.x.x.x:52323/dmr.xml" volume -- -5
$ songpal group --url "http://x.x.x.x:52323/dmr.xml" volume 5

Muting

$ songpal group --url [pnpurl] mute [true|false]

$ songpal group --url "http://x.x.x.x:52323/dmr.xml" mute true
$ songpal group --url "http://x.x.x.x:52323/dmr.xml" mute false

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
