Genre Intents. How do they work?

		content://com.maxmpz.audioplayer.data/genres/#/files/meta
		content://com.maxmpz.audioplayer.data/genres/#/files/#
		content://com.maxmpz.audioplayer.data/genres/files

Tried all of these with:

# -> Genre Name

# -> Genre Index -- Order on  Genres list

# -> Random Numbers

Nothing worked. Where can I find my genre IDs?

[flyingdutchman]

Can you post some code?

[iosifak]

What do you mean?

Using intent from tasker:

This works:  content://com.maxmpz.audioplayer.data/playlists/1/files  |  cmd: 20

This doesn't work: content://com.maxmpz.audioplayer.data/genres/1/files | cmd: 20

[flyingdutchman]

What are you trying to achieve?

[iosifak]

Play all my rock music

Using an app called Manifestviewer shows all the intents Poweramp exposes.

I see no intent as shown in your tasker config.

The nearest  service and intent that might do something is. I do not know enough about tasker though to fill in the blanks

<service
            android:label="Player Service"
            android:name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer.player.PlayerService">
            <intent-filter>
                <action
                    android:name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer.API_COMMAND"/>
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action
                    android:name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer.API_COMMAND"/>
                <data
                    android:scheme="file"/>
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action
                    android:name="com.maxmpz.audioplayer.API_COMMAND"/>
                <data
                    android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.maxmpz.row"
                    android:scheme="content"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </service>

I am using that intent you mentioned: com.maxmpz.audioplayer.API_COMMAND

with cmd:20 extra

and content://com.maxmpz.audioplayer.data/genres/1/files data url

And it doesn't work while it does work with content://com.maxmpz.audioplayer.data/playlists/1/files

 

This is the documentation: 

https://github.com/maxmpz/powerampapi/blob/master/poweramp_api_lib/src/com/maxmpz/Poweramp/player/PowerampAPI.java

The value 20

public static final int OPEN_TO_PLAY = 20;

but i guess there needs to be a selection of genres first

the text reads:

# means some numeric id (track id for queries ending with /files, otherwise - appropriate category id).

The only reference to genres is in cats(category)

public static final class Cats {
	public static final int ROOT = 0;
	public static final int FOLDERS = 10;
	public static final int GENRES_ID_ALBUMS = 210;
	public static final int ALBUMS = 200;
	public static final int GENRES = 320; So perhaps value 320 needs to be used and some data ="Rock"

?.

[iosifak]

I guess it needs the internal id used in android music database to identify each of my genres.

I don't know how to find those values

 

[flyingdutchman]

using razorsql on the pc and examining the Poweramp database

the table: genre_entries

and table genre

try a number from 1000 upward

[iosifak]

This works!! Thanks

[flyingdutchman]

Would you mind posting some screenshots of your tasker setup?

My tasker is too complicated for a screenshot. Here is how I start playing rock music. There are countless other tasks and profiled that I use in order to make a remote control using an old bt mini keyboard for my car. Automatically starting music playlists and navigation and changing between genres using the keyboard. Itcs sweet

Can you post how you got it? I'm getting crazy with Poweramp intents that doesn't work for this... Thanks.
