Title: How can I send a "NEXT SONG" command to the Xschedule server using Python?
Post by: szaske on December 21, 2020, 06:48:26 PM

I currently have a Python script controlling my receiver and the volume of my light show via a button. I'd like to add the ability to double click the button to send a command to the Xschedule server telling it to go to the "next song".  Questions:

1. Does the xSchedule http server accept GET/POST request?
2. If so is there documentation somewhere that documents the HTTP/API requests supported?

Something like that.
