Hi,
I've recently transformed my Asus 520gu into a wifi radio receiver, thanks to MightyOhm tutorial.
Everytime I reboot or power off, the router losts all the radio links and volume settings which I have added to mpc.
My question is if is there some way to save my prefered wifi radios links and everytime I power on or reboot, the router auto start with mpc playing my favourite wifi radio with for example 90% volume.
Many thanks.

add the stations to the mpc. Then save the playlist using
then load this station, and set the volume on startup by editing /etc/init.d/mpd. And the end of the
start section (after the line containing /usr/bin/mdp) add the following
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/mpc repeat on
/usr/bin/mpc volume 90
/usr/bin/mpc load a-name-for-playlist

Many many thanks for your reply. It's working thanks to you
I've added in mpd the line commands:
/usr/bin/mpc repeat on
/usr/bin/mpc volume 90
/usr/bin/mpc load myplaylist
/usr/bin/mpc play 1
(I've added one more line "/usr/bin/mpc play 1" to
auto-
start with the first wifi radio of the playlist).
Just one more question. After the line containing "/usr/bin/mdp" I had this lines which I deleted and wrote over with previous the command lines given by Gerben. The lines were:
#generate playlist and
start to play
/usr/bin/mpc listall | /usr/bin/mpc add -
/usr/bin/mpc play
/usr/bin/mpc repeat
Any problem to delete this lines?
One more time, many thanks for your help Gerben.

Removing those lines is not a problem.
And you're welcome.

Very interesting scripts. For now I will try to use the sleep function and also the Web Interface. I'm using MPoD for Iphone and it's working, but I will use your Web interface to use it on my pc.
I have some doubts where to add the code for sleep function, but I will post my questions for you in that specific topic
Many thanks once again Gerben.
