Select from Favorites?

[dkvdm]

Hi there,

Is it possible to select from your Favorite albums, which is part of the Focus functionality in Roon?

Thanks!

@dkvdm Hi, I don't see favorites supported in the Roon API but I will poke around and see if I can get that to work. Good suggestion. It's just that we cannot do more than what the API will allow.

@doctorfree I've been poking around, but I can’t seem to find a path to list favorite albums. Ultimately my goal is to build a favorite album randomizer. The workaround I was planning was to get album metadata for each album, and collect them if they have the favorite marker. However, I cannot seem to find anything in the Roon API that makes this possible. As you have a lot more knowledge on the API, I’d appreciate your insights 😃

hey @doctorfree, did you manage to look into this? I'm not looking for a full implementation, but rather if this is possible, after which I can try and figure it out myself :)

@dkvdm my initial pass through the Roon API looking for anything we could use to identify favorites came up empty. However, I have not had much time to investigate as my day job reared its head. I will try to carve out some time this weekend but prospects appear dim.

Going above and beyond, I appreciate you sir!

for what it’s worth, I continue to find nothing. I’m going to try and take a look at the raw database and try to query it myself. I believe it’s a LevelDB.

@dkvdm you may get some intelligent feedback by posting to the Roon Community forum. Tag the author of the Python Roon API, Greg Dowling. He is GregD on that forum.
