Using Legacy AudioService
The legacy audio service supports audio playback via the old mycroft api (@mycroft @ovos)
by default OCP delegates to the legacy audio service when necessary and no action is needed, but if you want to disable ocp this api can be used as the sole media playback provider
NOTE: once ovos-media is released OCP and this api will be disabled by default and deprecated!
{
"enable_old_audioservice": true,
"disable_ocp": true,
"Audio": {
"default-backend": "vlc",
"backends": {
"simple": {
"type": "ovos_audio_simple",
"active": true
},
"vlc": {
"type": "ovos_vlc",
"active": true
}
}
}
},
}
legacy plugins:
- vlc
- simple (no https support)
- mpv <- recommended default
- chromecast
- spotify
OCP technical details:
- OCP was developed for mycroft-core under the legacy audio service system
- OCP is always the default audio plugin, unless you set
"disable_ocp": true
in config - OCP uses the legacy api internally, to delegate playback when GUI is not available (or when configured to do so)
- does NOT bring support for old Mycroft CommonPlay skills, that is achieved by using the
"ocp_legacy"
pipeline with ovos-core - ovos-media will fully replace OCP in ovos-audio 1.0.0
