… of a laptop or notebook or personal computer can be an environment to relax from the GUI aspects of your modern operating systems and think about …

• processes
• batch driven tasks
• task simplifications

… and in the category of that last one, on our local macOS operating system we envisaged a day we could slip back to the “quiet world” of the “command line” and type a command like …


play Tragedy,Imagine,Down Among the Dead Men flash


… and get somewhere playing those songs through a web browser accessing the YouTube API and our interfacings to it in webpage software form, playing in a continuous Radio Play style.

You see, with all the distractions, only having to remember …

play

… no matter where we were in “command line” woooorrrrllllddd seemed the ideal, and yes, it’s possible. However, we think explaining …


bash /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/play.ksh Tragedy,Imagine,Down Among the Dead Men flash


… is a necessary dividing line between two parts to the discussion. So what’s bash? It’s the shell we associate as your macOS default shell (we get to via the “out of the box” macOS desktop application called Terminal) … well, it used to be … anyway, the first line of (what started as play.ksh then play.sh and then eventually, just, play … as a filename that is) …


#!/bin/bash

echo "Radio Play via comma separate YouTube 11 character IDs or search ideas for a playlist ... egs. Tragedy,Boogie Wonderland,Down Among the Dead Men ... random ...

… tells the local system use the bash shell to interpret this what you might like to think of as an executable script (which we went chmod 777 play regarding to make it so).

Okay, so we wrote this script in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ and that …


bash /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/play Tragedy,Imagine,Down Among the Dead Men flash


… could swing it at this stage, or even being in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/ and going …


./play Tragedy,Imagine,Down Among the Dead Men flash


… but (even in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/) …


play Tragedy,Imagine,Down Among the Dead Men flash


… is most likely to reply something like …

zsh: no such command

As the programmer, perhaps you could leave it at that with your “insider knowledge”, or if “play” as a command already meant something (a test that would be good to do before any such proposed work), otherwise … do you really think you’ll remember next Wednesday? So …

1. enter into the wooooorrrrllllddd of alias^es (thanks to this great advice, thanks) … eg.
   
alias play="/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/play"

2. placed into …
   
~/.bashrc

   … via (in our case) …
   
vi ~/.bashrc

3. then …
   
source ~/.bashrc

   … needs to be included into the login procedure of …

   …via (in our case) …

4. to make …

   … as the interactively asking alternative to the argumentative example of …

   … mean something … and anywhere

   … all of this possible because of the brilliantly useful macOS (not Linux nor unix) …

   
open


   … opener of web browsers from the command line blowing of our tiny little rather still naive mind … mind you, VAX/VMS “phone” command from the ’70’s might have even been better?! And then there were those punch cards … in the hopper … and if you got a character wrong … back to the end of the queue.

   Sorry … we got a bit hot and bothered there!

   Anyway, as a layer of thought on top of the recent YouTube API Caller Radio Play Playlist Songname Search List Repeats Tutorial‘s mildly changed swipe_media.html Tabular Single Row Media Gallery web application work it might be a thing you want to pursue yourself?

   By the way, this brought into play for us what your default web browser is. Ours is Safari yet we develop more on Google Chrome. Safari, for us, does more Popup Blocking, and it is a thing to look out for should a window not open when expected (and these command line methodologies don’t get past you still having to unmute and/or click/tap once before the Radio Play mode of play kicks off). To undo the Popup Block there will probably be a means to do this to the right of the web browser address bar.

   That’s kind of silly.

   For these few reasons …

   • variety
   • album style Radio Play listening possibilities
   • perhaps getting around that …

   YouTube API Caller Radio Play Playlist Songname Search List Address Bar Tutorial

   Don’t know if you are like me, but especially when on this MacBook Air we’re, forever, using a web browser address bar to type in, what we’ve set up as, a Google search engine webpage query. Rather than even going to Google webpage first, that is!

   Most people don’t want to know about arcane web application argument arrangements … though we’re very fond of the 5 minute ones?!

   What’s wrong with some of you? Who would not relish the thought of …

   • _&^or?andgo=y # will click the Radio button after all above (unless notgo is mentioned in the list somewhere), as relevant, with the programmatically determined derived YouTube ID list via YouTube search(es)

   YouTube API Caller Radio Play Playlist Songname Search List Dropdown Tutorial

   Around here, regarding web application work, we really like dropdown (ie. HTML select element) work because a lot of information can be …

   • stored
   • displayed (often taking up minimal webpage space)
   • it’s option subelements can have an event life of their own, or be part of the select element event whole picture
   • dropdown multiple selection mode (as with today’s work) can …
     1. still support your single choice scenario
     2. we’ve coded today’s dropdown to support, as applicable, ordered single click choices … versus …
     3. can allow for control key (sets of choices not necessarily adjacent) and shift key (blocks of choices)
     4. can respond (as with today’s dropdown) to preset selections established at creation via dropdown (ie. select) innerHTML option subelement selected attribute setting
   • dropdown events onmousedown and ontouchdown (as for today’s dropdown) and onclick can be harnessed ahead of an onchange event … and in today’s case can help unset any preset option subelement selected attribute setting(s)

   Just so flexible! Subelement option CSS styling can be less friendly, but even so, often background colouring is possible, and we do a bit of that with the work from yesterday’s YouTube API Caller Radio Play Playlist Songname Search List Tutorial and today’s better “shored up” work you can see a bit of below (where your starting point might be that we “wrap” this particular Javascript prompt window through the Javascript overprompt function below) …
