Jukebox mode
============
The jukebox mode allow playing audio files on the hardware of the machine
running Supysonic, using regular clients that support it as a remote control.
:doc:`setup/daemon` must be running in order to be able to use the jukebox mode.
So be sure to start the :doc:`man/supysonic-daemon` command and keep it running.
Setting the player program
--------------------------
Jukebox mode in Supysonic works through the use of third-party command-line
programs. Supysonic isn't bundled with such programs, and you are left to
choose which one you want to use. The chosen program should be able to play a
single audio file from a path specified on its command-line.
The configuration is done in the :ref:`conf-daemon` of the configuration file,
with the ``jukebox_command`` variable. This variable should include the
following fields:
``%path``
absolute path of the file to be played
``%offset``
time in seconds where to start playing (used for seeking)
Here's an example using ``mplayer``::
jukebox_command = mplayer -ss %offset %path
Or using ``mpv``::
jukebox_command = mpv --start=%offset %path
Setting the output volume isn't currently supported.
Allowing users to act on the jukebox
------------------------------------
The jukebox mode is only accessible to chosen users. Granting (or revoking)
jukebox usage rights to a specific user is done with the
:doc:`command line interface <man/supysonic-cli-user>`::
$ supysonic-cli user setroles --jukebox <username>
