Hi,

I am trying to find a way to retrieve the url of the currently playing video/audio stream using json.
I tried "Player.Filename" and it returned "videoplayback". Great. Wink

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Try Playlist.GetItems, the player method has only limited info about the file playing, the playlist method has more.

PHP Code:
{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": { "properties": [ "file"], "playerid": '"1"' }, "id": "AudioGetItem"} 

That should get you the filename if its a local file, or the full URL if it's a stream.

Example call (from bash)

PHP Code:
curl -s --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "Player.GetItem", "params": { "properties": [ "file"], "playerid": '"1"' }, "id": "AudioGetItem"}' -H 'content-type: application/json;' http://localhost:9001/jsonrpc 

Result

PHP Code:
{"id":"AudioGetItem","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"item":{"file":"http://icy-e-bz-08-boh.sharp-stream.com:8000/viking.mp3","label":"viking.mp3","type":"unknown"}}}
