play - pause states

[cairon-ha]

Hi there,

sorry for that question but I need your help.

I want to use the pushState event to get if volumio is playing or is paused.

Unfortunately I always get two or more outputs from the node:
Skip: play - pause - play
Pause: play - pause
Play: pause -play

So I am not able to get a sharp output for event toggling with play or pause.

Play or Pause is no problem because the last state is clear, but Skip is bothering me right now. When I control lights with that node they are not fast enough to get that superfast statechange done. They sometimes react on the pause from skipping and sometime on the play from skipping.

I think I only have a small thinking problem about that but I really not getting it.

May you help?

Thank you.

Hello Daniel,

I really can't help you right now because i'm not using volumio anymore and I don't have a ready installation. I need to set up a test env when i have some spare time.

Hi

If you use the getState ==> pushState you can then query the payload

I am doing this to in affect toggle on and off playback, for a push button
