If the server doesn't support getting the http head for the feed a 501
may be generated the guess_mime function will in turn fail if the url
ends with "?arg=x" or similar. This does an extra parsing step trying to
remove such arguments.
pychromecast needed to be updated to fix pip package version conflict
when using streaming google STT.
Minor issues with startup of audio needed to be handled, mainly adding
explicit waits to ensure commands would be accepted
the old "__metaclass__" has been ignored since the switch to python 3
this restores the metaclass functionality by updating it to the new
class kwarg syntax
The simple audio service can be paused. The audio is "paused" but placing the
audio playback mechanism (usually aplay or mpg123) into the background, kinda
like hitting Ctrl+Z. While in the background that process can no longer react
to the SIGTERM signal. So paused audio has to be brought to the foreground
using SIGCONT, and _then_ sent SIGTERM.
Also added a belt to go with these suspenders and perform a process.kill() if
the audio process doesn't go away after 1 second.
The restore_volume would previously unpause the service even if the user just asked for pausing playback.
This separates the paused flag from the pausing/resuming action so lowering/restoring volume doesn't affect the logical pausing state and can check it to determine if lowering/restoring is needed/wanted.
This adds a very simple mechanism for pausing and resuming audio streams
that are actively playing. The process is suspended and resumed when
requested.
This also uses that same method to implement lower_volume()/restore_volume() for simple "ducking" of audio.
- Adds RemoteAudioBackend class, which is used to differentiate between
Remotes and local audio backends
- When searching for audio backends the backends are storted to first
check local ones and secondly remote ones
The audioservice can now jump forward and backward in the audio stream/file
The functionality is accessed via the audioservice class's seek_forward(),
seek_backward() and seek() methods
* Add repeat option to audioservice
The audioservice.play() method now accepts a repeat parameter. If this
parameter is True the playlist passed to the audio service will be
repeated.
* Add repeat support to vlc
* Add the repeat parameter to all services
Not functional but playback will work at least. Hacktoberfest?
* Use correct method to guess mime type
* Use the commands from mycroft.conf
- Remove hardcoded commands and use the ones from mycroft.util to handle
configurations.
- Improve error handling
This is reimplementation of #1649 which became divergent.
## Description
Adds a Ogg123Service and a play_ogg exactly like Mpg123Service and play_mp3
## How to test
I have a skill for a podcast which does not have an mp3 feed:

* Handle stop correctly in the audio service.
This allows for example the news skill playback to be stopped without
the listening being triggered.
* Handle case where service stops at end of playlist
- Fix issue when receiving multiple stop signals
- Stop method of services now returns True or False depending on if audio was playing
The default method for the services call stop, in the chromecast case this isn't desirable since any playing application would be shutdown (even if mycroft didn't initiate it).
This overrides default behaviour and will merely disconnect from the device at shutdown.
==== Tech Notes ====
When a new track starts playing the audio service will send a message
indicating which track has started.
==== Protocol Notes ====
"mycroft.audio.service.track_start" message added
Add Python 2/3 compatibility
==== Tech Notes ====
This allows the main bus, skills and cli to be run in both python 2.7 and
3.5+.
Mainly trivial changes
- syntax for exceptions
- logic for importing correct Queue module
- .iteritems -> future.utils.iteritems when accessing dicts key value
pairs
* Allow audio service to be run in python 3
* Make speech client work with python 3
* Importing of Queue version dependent
* Exception syntax corrected
* Creating sound buffer is version dependant
- Adapt context use range from builtins
- Use compatible next() instead of .next() when walking the skill
directory
* Make CLI Python 3 Compatible
- Use compatible BytesIO instead of StringsIO
- Open files as text instead of binary
- Make sure integer divisions are used
* Make messagebus send compatible
* Fix failing travis
Re-add future 0.16.0
* Make string checks compatible
* basestring doesn't exist in python 3 so it's imported from the "past"
* Fix latest compatibility issues in speech client
- handle urllib
- handle encoding before calling md5
* Make Api.build_json() python 2/3 compatible
==== Tech Notes ====
queue command will start playback if no playback is running.
mpg123 and vlc services updated support queueing tracks while playing
==== Protocol Notes ====
mycroft.audio.service.queue message added
==== Tech Notes ====
Before the current chromecast application was quit when mycroft was started which caused some interference. Now the current app is quit right before starting playback on the device instead.
