Using Legacy AudioService
The legacy audio service supports audio playback via the old mycroft api (@mycroft @ovos)
by default OCP acts as a translation layer for this api and no action is needed, but if you want to disable ocp this api remains available
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:
OCP technical details:
- OCP was developed for mycroft-core under this legacy system
- OCP will pose as a legacy plugin and translate the received bus events to the OCP api
- 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 configured to do so)
- this does NOT bring support for old Mycroft CommonPlay skills, that is related to skills service not ovos-audio
- this brings support for OCP skills to OVOS until ovos-media is finished
- ovos-media will fully replace OCP in ovos-audio 0.2.0
