I will be posting a write up on how to get this setup for other users but in the meantime, we found that a hook is not sent for pause or resume. I will still add those steps in my write up with the caveat that it is currently not working for those two commands. On a side note, out of my ignorance, what is the scrobble event? I have not set that up so depending on what it is supposed to do, I will add that to the write up. 1

On the android mobile app they all work as expected. Another thing I've noticed in my testing is that the webhooks seem to stop sending after the server has been running a while. To do the above test I had to reboot the server and I noticed the same thing yesterday as well.

Luke 40082 Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 Thanks, looks like the app needs to be updated to send the unpause event.

How do you treat unpause differently from start? In my specific use case I treat an unpause exactly the same as a start. But I can't speak for everyone. Others may have a better use for it. I only mention it for consistency since android mobile sends an unpause while android tv sends a start. switch(status) { case ["playback.start","playback.unpause"]: status = "playing"; break; case ["playback.pause"]: status = "paused"; break; case ["playback.stop","playback.scrobble"]: status = "stopped"; break; }

ebr 15667 Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 The thing is "stop" just doesn't exist in the current world of music players. I doubt you can show me one with a stop button on the interface. But, as far as actual operation (from the computer's standpoint) goes, it makes more sense to me to treat the pause of music as a stop because that is the only way to stop a current music player.

Is it possible for pause to be sent when paused and stop to be sent when backing out of the music screen? Otherwise I do agree that leaving it as-is for music would be best with just start/stop and add the unpause to tv and movies.
