Support for Light Show about teslausb

[d-kar]

Tesla added support to multiple lightshows in holiday update -> Create directory LightShow and put shows files there. https://twitter.com/notateslaapp/status/1732590927296757820

Just create LightShow folder in music sync folder and copy light show files in there (can have multiple .fseq and .wav file with different base name.
It works!

I wrote a script to do this (managed through a ssh command line).. works well. I'll attach the file (remove *.txt extension needed for attachment) set_show.txt

On your archive host

• create a /lightshows directory (not /lightshow)
• copy this script to lightshows directory
• download some shows to /lightshows/showname/ (I use the zipfile name)
• Trigger Sync (via the webpage, or power on TeslaUSB)

SSH into TeslaUSB (user pi, /home/pi home directory) (On Android, I use ConnectBot

• sudo /root/bin/remountfs_rw
• sudo mount /mnt/music
• cp /mnt/music/lightshows/set_show .
• chmod 755 set_show
• echo "alias sshow=/home/pi/set_show" >>~/.profile
• . .profile (profile if you want to use the sshow without logging in again)

(hmmm typing these instructions, I wonder if I should have just called the script sshow :) ) It's changed over time.

To use it:
SSH into TeslaUSB (user pi, /home/pi home directory) (no root or rw needed)

pi@WhiteLightning:~ $ sshow

Of course they added this after I wrote my script :)

But good to know how to have the multiple shows.... the release notes didn't mention using a basename.(fseq|.wav)
I got the Christmas update yesterday, but haven't had time to test it yet.

Closing since this can be done via music sync
