The script will create a php file, add this as iframe whereever you want your music to be shown
<iframe id="frame1" src="audio.php" width="650" height="100"></iframe>
The script will execute the the “Alexa Remote Control” with “-q / query queue” to get the current tracks, then cuts out the playing song with all its info and albumcover to pipe it into the php file.
#!/bin/bash TMPFILE=/tmp/audio.txt WEBFILE=/var/www/mysite/audio.php /alexa-remote-control/alexa_remote_control.sh -q > $TMPFILE #OFFLINE=`grep -m1 'message' $TMPFILE | cut -d '"' -f 3 | cut -d ' ' -f 2` OFFLINE=`grep -m1 'message' $TMPFILE | awk 'BEGIN{FS=" "}{gsub(",",""); print $2}'` STATE=`grep -m1 'state' $TMPFILE | cut -d '"' -f 4` STATENULL=`grep -m1 'state' /tmp/audio.txt | awk 'BEGIN{FS=" "}{gsub(",",""); print $2}'` ARTIST=`grep -m1 'subText1' $TMPFILE | cut -d '"' -f 4` TITLE=`grep -m1 'title' $TMPFILE | cut -d '"' -f 4` ALBUM=`grep -m1 'subText2' $TMPFILE | cut -d '"' -f 4` IMG=`grep -m1 'url' $TMPFILE | cut -d '"' -f 4` echo "" > $WEBFILE if [ "$OFFLINE" != "null" ] && [ "$STATENULL" != "null" ]; then echo "<table style='width:100%'><col style='width:90%'><col style='width:10%'><tr><td>" >> $WEBFILE echo "State: $STATE </br>" >> $WEBFILE echo "Artist: $ARTIST </br>" >> $WEBFILE echo "Title: $TITLE </br>" >> $WEBFILE echo "Album: $ALBUM" >> $WEBFILE echo "</td><td>" >> $WEBFILE echo "<img src='$IMG' alt='albumcover' style='width:64px;height:64px;'>" >> $WEBFILE echo "</td></tr></table>" >> $WEBFILE else echo "Iam not listening to music right now..." >> $WEBFILE fi
The bashscript can be automated via crontab (example runs every 2 minutes).
