# Node.js web media player [![Build status](https://img.shields.io/travis/nylen/node-web-media-player.svg?style=flat)](https://travis-ci.org/nylen/node-web-media-player) [![npm package](http://img.shields.io/npm/v/web-media-player.svg?style=flat)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/web-media-player)

This application allows you to control a simple media player via a web

interface.  I wrote it so that I could play video files on my Raspberry Pi.

This could really use some AJAX features - right now the state is only

refreshed when a new page is requested.  I might work on this in the future.

## Getting started

- [Install node.js](https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation).

- `git clone https://github.com/nylen/node-web-media-player.git`

  (or `npm install web-media-player`)

- `cd node-web-media-player` and `npm install`

- Copy one of the example config files to `config/default.yml` and edit as

  needed.

- `node server.js`

## Configuration settings

- **player.mediaPath** - the root path for your media files.

- **player.mount.ifNotExists** and **player.mount.command** - if these settings

  are present, then check whether the file specified by **ifNotExists** exists

  (relative to the **mediaPath**), and if it doesn't, then run the command

  specified by **command**.  This feature can be used to automatically mount

  the media storage directory.   Use `%d` for the path to the media storage

  directory, if needed.

- **player.commands.start** - the command that should be used to run the media

  player for a file.  This should be a command-line media player like `mplayer`

  or `omxplayer`.  Use `%f` for the filename.

- **player.commands.kill** - the command that should be used to kill the media

  player.  This is only used as a last resort if sending

  **player.controls.exit** doesn't work.

- **player.controls.(play|pause|exit)** - the keypresses that should be sent to

  the `stdin` of the media player process to perform the desired action.  This

  should work as if you had started the media player on the command line and

  pressed the specified key(s).  **player.controls.exit** should stop the

  player and cause the process to exit.

- **player.controls.seek** - a dictionary where the keys are positive or

  negative numbers of seconds (given as strings), and the values are the key

  sequences needed to make the media player seek by the given number of

  seconds.

- **player.exitTimeout** - when **player.controls.exit** is sent, wait for this

  amount of time in milliseconds.  If the player process has not exited by

  then, kill it.  If specified, **player.commands.kill** will be used.

  Otherwise, the player process will be sent a `SIGTERM` (which does not seem

  to work with `omxplayer`).
