Mopidy-Webhooks

Mopidy <https://www.mopidy.com/>_ extension for sending mopidy play status to arbitrary URL endpoints

Installation

Install by running::

sudo python3 -m pip install Mopidy-Webhooks

Configuration

To enable this extension, make sure to add the following variables to your Mopidy configuration file. Note that multiple URLs can be sent to by separating them with a comma. Tokens match the listing of urls::

[webhooks]
enabled = true
urls = https://example.com/api/receiver/,http://127.0.0.1:8000/webhook/
tokens = ,2349080989234089
media_dirs = /var/lib/mopidy/media
podcast_dirs = /var/lib/mopidy/media/podcasts

The following configuration values are available:

• webhooks/enabled: If the webhooks extension should be enabled or not. Defaults to disabled.
• webhooks/urls: Comma-separated list of endpoints to send play data to
• webhooks/tokens: Comma-separated list of tokens to send in the Authorization header for each URL
• webhooks/media_dirs: Comma-separated list of local media roots used to resolve local:track:/local:podcast: URIs to files so their tags can be read. Defaults to /var/lib/mopidy/media.
• webhooks/podcast_dirs: Comma-separated list of directories that should always be treated as podcasts, even when the URI does not mention it.

Podcast metadata

When a track is detected as a podcast episode, the webhook payload is enriched with metadata read from the audio file itself, so the receiver no longer has to guess the podcast, episode number or publication date from the file name.

Sources, in order of preference:

1. Audio tags (ID3, Vorbis, MP4) read with mutagen <https://mutagen.readthedocs.io/>_: title, artist, album, track number, date, genre, comment/description, publisher, language, copyright and website.
2. A sidecar JSON file written next to the episode (<episode>.json) or in a metadata/ directory (metadata/<episode>.json), as produced by common podcatchers. This provides feed_url, guid, episode_url, duration, image and a fallback description.

Podcast episodes are detected when the URI contains podcast, when the file lives under one of the webhooks/podcast_dirs, or when the file has a sidecar JSON with a feed URL or guid.

In addition to the regular fields, podcast payloads include:

• media_type: "podcast" or "track"
• podcast_name, podcast_producer, podcast_description
• podcast_feed_url, podcast_site_link
• episode_num, pub_date (YYYY-MM-DD)
• episode_description, episode_url, episode_guid
