In order to use this file, you need to have the meta installed. Please refere to this page for further instructions: https://github.com/jac459/meta
To install, downnoad the volumio.json file and move it to the "active" folder.
In the neeo app, add a device and search for Volumio. You will find a driver named: Volumio. This is the one.
By default, Volumio is an Audio type and not immediately visible.
Power On and Power Off are the events used by the meta driver in order to listen to the device. In your case, if you don't do it, you will not be able to see the state change in your volumio software.
when loading the recipe, you can suppress all the slides except the ones with shortcuts.
Your browsing experience is with My Music list My Playing Queue list and play <=> queue switch. You will browse music using my music. when you click on a song or an album (at the top of the songs list), if your switch is on play. It will play immediately. If you put queue, it will be put in your ... queue. You can see the song in your queue by using the my playing queue list.
You play using the play toggle (also attached to the ok button), skip track using next or previous and seek throught the progress slider. You see what you are doing using the status label.
Radio stations listed in the My Music list are taken from the favorite radio stations in the volumio software. To have radio stations available, you need to create favorites in volumio first.
You can create entries in the directory beyond the standard provided entries. This makes it possible to provide access to music not provided through the default My Music list. To do this, use the Manage Shortcuts button. You will be able to browse the full directory and add any entry in the directory as a shortcut to the My Music list. Shortcuts will be added to the top of the My Music list. Using the same Manage Shortcuts button, you can also remove existing shortcuts. A Clear Shortcuts button removes all shortcuts from the My Music list.
==> Then you need to create a webserver to serve your files to the chromecast as chromecast doesn't read samba
sudo mkdir /mnt/volumioShare (create a fake folder))
sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.44/Volumio2Share /mnt/volumioShare (link the samba to the folder
npm install --global http-server
http-server /mnt/volumioShare or pm2 start "http-server /mnt/volumioShare"
