# ffplayout-updater
Simple script to update [ffplayout](https://github.com/ffplayout/ffplayout) output with now playing info.

```
Usage:
update.sh [command] [api-token]
```
This script will publish a text message to your ffplayout's stream via a JSONRPC call. To obtain a token, check the FFPlayout config screen and enable the JSONRPC server
Depending on your media's source path, you will need to modify the `` to extract suitable metadata to display the media's title.
For now, you will need to modify the script directly for certain attributes like font size, color, etc.
## Commands
### `update_info`
Updates media info on the screen from `current` and `next`, font attributes are hard-coded in the script.
## Todo
- [ ] Figure out if RPC can take a dynamic font
- [ ] Display text periodically / on schedule
- [ ] Include systemd units to install on server
