Playing Mode
Details about what is playing is available via a State object, this can be retrieved and used like so:
$track = $controller->getStateDetails();
echo "Now Playing: " . $track->getTitle() . " from ";
echo $track->getAlbum() . " by " . $track->getArtist() . "\n";
echo "Running Time: " . $track->getPosition() . "/" . $track->getDuration() . "\n";
If you are not playing tracks but are streaming then the State object should be used a little differently:
$state = $controller->getStateDetails();
if ($state->isStreaming()) {
echo "Currently Streaming: " . $state->getStream() . "\n";
# Most streams do not provide extra information, so check before using
if ($state->getArtist()) {
echo "Artist: " . $state->getArtist() . "\n";
}
}
For more information on the State object see the Tracks documentation.
Every day I’m shufflin’
In addition to what is currently playing, you can also control how it is playing:
if (!$controller->getShuffle()) {
$controller->setShuffle(true);
}
if ($controller->getRepeat()) {
$controller->setRepeat(false);
}
if ($controller->getCrossfade()) {
$controller->setCrossfade(false);
}
