If you change your script to (playRadio.bash):

#!/bin/bash
URL=$1
RUN=1
exit_script() {
        echo "Stopping playback"
        xmms2 stop
        xmms2 clear
        RUN=0
}

trap exit_script SIGINT SIGTERM

xmms2 stop
xmms2 clear
xmms2 add $URL
xmms2 play

while [ $RUN -gt 0 ]; do
        echo "Still running"
        sleep 1
done

and the config to

		{
			module: "MMM-MplayerRadio",
			header: "Radio",
			position: "top_center",
			config: {
				stations: [
					{
						title: "KissFM",
						url: "https://live.kissfm.ro/kissfm.aacp",
						logo: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ro/8/86/Logo_Kiss_FM.png",
						customCommand: "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MplayerRadio/scripts/playRadio.bash",
						customCommandArgs: ["###URL###"],
					},
				],
			},
		},

You can then reuse the same script for different stations only by adding the url as first parameter in the config

Edit: Added url back to the config

@wishmaster270 it’s working now thanks.

wishmaster270

@electros Perfect.
I think I will check in the script into the repository so you can easy update to upcoming versions

@wishmaster270 Hi, I’m newbie and know almost nothing about coding. I have installed your module successfully, but what should I do to start it (without touchscreen)? It is shown on my mirror but not played. I put only one Station.
I want to start it automatically if I start my mirror.
Thanks.

@bryan_1 Hi, currently there is no autoplay feature implemented. But I will check it the next days. Maybe it is not a big deal

wishmaster270

Hi,

just published an new version (0.0.3) which provides an autoplay feature. Simply add the station index you want to play to the config option “autoplay”. If you only configured one station it is 0. The station will start to play after about 1 second after the mirror started.

hi @wishmaster270 ,

if you want me to create a vocal control with MMM-GoogleAssistant, just tell me.
I can create a special sub-code for your module

can do:

volume control (no api found)
change stations (next/previous/play/toogle,etc) from your api

@Bugsounet Hi, great idea. At the moment my mirror is only controlled by sensors and touch.
The volume control buttons of my module only send an notification to MMM-Volume that’s way there isn’t any api in this module.
Everything else can be controlled by notifications. There is a small section about the notifications in the readme.
