Sample Airfoil 2.0 Scripts

[crashtkd]

Here are some sample scripts to control Airfoil 2.0. They are not dynamic, I've hardcoded values for my own setup but have commented clearly so you can edit these yourself for your environment. There are 4 scripts, I'll put each in a separate post. The scripts allow you to display the current audio source, connect and disconnect from speakers, and change audio sources. They aren't elegant, but get the job done.

Cut and paste into your script:

(* Salling Clicker script to display audio sources in Airfoil, by Rich Mogull. Path to strip /Applications/ is hard coded, so if you use an application in a different path you may need to modify the text parsing*)
on curapp2()
tell application "Airfoil"
set curapp to current audio source
if name of curapp is not "System Audio" then
set curapp to application file of curapp
if "/Applications/" is in curapp then
set curapp to get text 15 thru end of curapp
set curapp to get text 1 thru ((offset of "." in curapp) - 1) of curapp
end if
else
set curapp to "System"
end if
end tell
end curapp2

set displaytext to curapp2()
tell application "SEC Helper"

enter messagebox mode title "Audio Source" text displaytext
end tell

Here's a somewhat dynamic set of airfoil scripts, I am still making improvements and am trying to find somewhere to host the thing. If you want me to let you know when I fix the little things, or if you want to let me know what could be better, email me at Cliff<dot>Braun<at>Gmail<dot>com.

This is great! I've wanted something like this ever since I started using Salling Clicker, and it (almost) works perfectly!

I had only one problem, and I'm not sure if it's me or the code. When I use the "connect" script, I get my three options (living room, front room and all). "Front Room" works, and "all" works, but for some strange reason, clicking on "living room" doesn't do anything. I can select "all" to activate it, however, so I'm pretty sure i have the right name in there.

Thanks again for these scripts!

Cliff: you're more than welcome to pick up my work and improve on it.

Best.
