Hi Guys,

I’m relatively new to volumio and python but I am wanting to build a small music centre for my daughter where she can just push a button and it will play her favourite volumio playlist.
I intend to have 3 buttons so she has a choice between which playlist or even an audiobook! Is this even something that is possible? I have managed to write a small script that works a push button so I am trying, but don’t know how to incorporate this to communicate with volumio.

I hope you can Help.

Thanks

Thanks, that’s wicked! I can’t believe I didn’t see that!

Hopefully he will add playlist switching in the future.
