[Feature Request] Next/Previous Track Action

[tobru]

When working with playlists it would also be great to have a tag to skip forward to the next track or back to the previous one in the playlist. This "Class" is currently not available and it would be fantastic to have it available.

Should be doable… let me peek at the official Mopidy API.

YAY… Should be really simple, as it's the same playback controller class as the play / resume one:

I'll give it a try with a PR in the next days 👍

[domibarton]

No worries, I already have it :)

[domibarton]

I'll probably refactor the code a bit to keep compliant with DRY

[domibarton]

I created a new PR for my new add-next-previous-actions branch. However, I couldn't test the changes yet, because I currently don't have the box at home. I'll give it a try in the next days.

What I can say so far:

• I merged the action functions and Tag classes into Action classes
• I created new PreviousTrack and NextTrack actions
• I assigned those actions to new GPIO pins
• I move the pins for the buttons (see new README)

Again: I only changed the code on the fly without testing. I'd be surprised if that change already works ^^

@tobru I created a new release.

You can use the tag v2.2.0, the master branch or the new PyPi package.

Can you test if everything works as expected and let me know? :)

@domibarton I can confirm that it just works ™️ 🎉 I'm even impressed that you could read my mind about the new unregister tag possibility which was a thing I was thinking about.

Thank you very much, I owe you a 🍺 once it's possible again!

[domibarton]

lolz :D after the corona thingy, we'll have some 🍻 ;)

Yeah the "unregister" feature was in my mind for some time. But I'm a lazy person, so it took some time. Glad it worked :)
