This extension is based on
already existing one, all credits goes to @dhdurgee.
The previous release was not really functional enough to be used daily so I decided to contribute too. This release is meant to be used with PW4 only cuz I was only able to test gst driver. I've dropped alsa support, but if there's someone who wants to test new features with alsa -- welcome to PM.
Update list:
- Play all files in /music
- Play any folder in /music
- Instant (as it is possible) play/pause
- Shuffle
- Volume control
- Forward (next track)
You will need to have python 3.9 installed, get it
here.
Online radio was made optional and left basically as it was before. In case you need radio, download radio.txt and place it in /music folder, then reload the menu. Preserve the format (title;url) if you want to add yours.
Volume control is probably reliant on global setting. Set 100% in the extension, then go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceView > Volume and set comfortable setting there.
Playback stops when Kindle goes to deep sleep. If you know how to prevent Kindle from doing this then let me know.
This is a working concept, not a masterpiece. Feel free to report any issues.
