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
- 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
* 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?
* 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
==== 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.
This commit officially switches the mycroft-core repository from
GPLv3.0 licensing to Apache 2.0. All dependencies on GPL'ed code
have been removed and we have contacted all previous contributors
with still-existing code in the repository to agree to this change.
Going forward, all contributors will sign a Contributor License
Agreement (CLA) by visiting https://mycroft.ai/cla, then they will
be included in the Mycroft Project's overall Contributor list,
found at: https://github.com/MycroftAI/contributors. This cleanly
protects the project, the contributor and all who use the technology
to build upon.
Futher discussion can be found at this blog post:
https://mycroft.ai/blog/right-license/
This commit also removes all __author__="" from the code. These
lines are painful to maintain and the etiquette surrounding their
maintainence is unclear. Do you remove a name from the list if the
last line of code the wrote gets replaced? Etc. Now all
contributors are publicly acknowledged in the aforementioned repo,
and actual authorship is maintained by Github in a much more
effective and elegant way!
Finally, a few references to "Mycroft AI" were changed to the correct
legal entity name "Mycroft AI Inc."
==== Fixed Issues ====
#403 Update License.md and file headers to Apache 2.0
#400 Update LICENSE.md
==== Documentation Notes ====
Deprecated the ScheduledSkill and ScheduledCRUDSkill classes.
These capabilities have been superceded by the more flexible MycroftSkill
class methods schedule_event(), schedule_repeating_event(), update_event(),
and cancel_event().
