Big List of Intents

[C S]

I noticed that BeyondPod had a listing under 3rd party actions. Though it would be great to add some other apps in there. So here is a collection for the apps I use. 

Podcast Addict:

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.toggle – Toggle the playlist

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.stop – Stop the player and release its resources

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.play – Start playing the playlist

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.pause – Pause the playlist

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.nexttrack – Start playing next track

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.previoustrack – Start playing previous track

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.jumpforward – Jump 30s forward

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.jumpbackward – Jump 15s backward

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.1xspeed - Disable the variable playback speed

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.1.5xspeed – Force the playback speed at 1.5x

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.2xspeed – Force the playback speed at 2.0x

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.update – Trigger podcasts update

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.openmainscreen – Open the app on the Main screen
  

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.openplaylist – Open the app on the Playlist screen
  

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.openplayer – Open the app on the Player screen

Since v2.9.4:

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.opennewepisodes – Open the app on the New episodes screen

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.opendownloadedepisodes – Open the app on the Downloaded episodes screen

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.playfirstepisode – Start playing the first episode in the playlist
  
• 
  
• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.customspeed – Start playing the first episode in the playlist

In order to use this intent you need to pass a float argument called "arg1". Valid values are within [0.1, 5.0]

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.customtimer – Start a custom timer

In order to use this intent you need to pass an int argument called "arg1" containing the number of minutes. Valid values are within [1, 1440]

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.deletecurrentskipnexttrack  – Delete the current episode and skip to the next one. It behaves the same way as long pressing on the player >| button, but doesn't display any confirmation popup.
  

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.deletecurrentskipprevioustrack  – Delete the current episode and skip to the previous one. It behaves the same way as long pressing on the player |< button, but doesn't display any confirmation popup.  

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.boostVolume – Toggle the Volume Boost audio effect

You can pass a, optional  boolean argument called "arg1" in order to create a ON or OFF button for the volume boost. Without this parameter the app will just toggle the current value

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.quickBookmark – Creates a bookmark at the current playback position so you can easily retrieve it later.
• 
  
• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.download.pause – Pause download

• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.download.resume   – Resume downloads
• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service. download.toggle – Toggle download
• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.service.player.favorite – Mark the current episode playing as favorite.
• com.bambuna.podcastaddict.openplaylist – Open the app on the Playlist screen  

  You can pass an optional string argument called "arg1" in order to select the playlist to open. Without this parameter the app will open the current playlist

  Here's how it works:

      ##AUDIO## will open the Audio playlist screen

      ##VIDEO## will open the Video playlist screen 

      ##RADIO## will open the Radio screen

      Any other argument will be used as a CATEGORY name. The app will then open this category under the playlist CUSTOM tab

Great, 

I love that stuff! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

May I ask a question: do you use BeyongPod's intents?

I am using them insentively and I have an issue with the latest BeyondPod update.

I wrote to dev and on their - abandoned - forum... No answer... 😒

The issue is: when sending the intent in order to UPDATE podcasts, the app activity opens... Before the latest release, it would just update in the background (with the notification showing progress).

Do you encounter the same behaviour?

Any solution that you would know?

Thanks

I'm a die hard Podcast Addict user.  Intents work great for me. My main ones is update podcasts when headphone is plugged in and wifi connected or when bluetooth headphones are connected. Export your playlists to OPML and move over to the updated almost daily Addict.

Ok I'll give a try to this one...

Maybe I'll switch to it ;)

[Looki75]

Well it seems I am going to be addicted as well :Don't

Downloaded, donated, put all my podcasts, downloaded episodes, configured a ton of settings, tested intents...

So far everything is good!

Only regret is it doesn't have a white/light theme...

Other than that, way more options than in BeyondPod...

😄😄😄

Don't know if you're aware but AutoShare makes this intent stuff very easy :) Check it out here.

[Looki75]

Well,

Tasker sends intent > Target app reacts

will always be executed faster by the Android system than:

Tasker calls plugin > Plugin sends intent > Target app reacts

On the other side, I agree that AutoShare greatly eases the process of saving and using and sharing predefined intents.

AutoShare can also do more than Tasker for intents that require many arguments.

Personally I prefer writing intents in Tasker directly (most effective) and I use AutoShare for "Sleep as Android" intents that require more arguments.

And I use AutoShare with custom commands as well... Since 2 days ago 😄
