How do you know what to use in python script with plugins?

Hey!

I've been trying to get a slider I have on my web server to control the volume of my Sonos.

Code: Select all

suffix = eg.event.suffix;
eg.globals.example='hejsan hoppsan';
try :
    volume = int(suffix[suffix.find(".")+1:]);
except Exception:
    volume = 0;
else:
    eg.plugins.Sonos.VolumeSet(volume, 0)
    eg.globals.masterVolumeStr = str(volume);

Now this is the part I am wondering about, you can call every plugin with a pyhon script - but how do you know what to use?

Code: Select all

eg.plugins.Sonos.VolumeSet(volume, 0)

Like this one - I understand that it's based on what actions the plugin actually has. But I can't figure out for example how I call the Sonos player ID.

I'm lacking "eg.plugins.Sonos.VolumeSet-SONOSPLAYERID(volume, 0)" here and can't figure out how to write it.

My examples are for the Sonos plugin - but my question is meant for all plugins - thanks in advance!

OK, the trick is that

1) create a temporary macro with the action that you are looking for

2) right click the action and "copy as python"

3) Paste into your python script and you have the necessary python code

4) delete the temporary macro
