Commands via script do not work

[bgraeb]

Hey there,

I'm running the project (on an older release) and I have the issue, that the pause-button by rfid is not working. It pauses successfully, when I use the Webinterface button, or type the command echo "pause" | nc.openbsd -w 1 localhost 4212 in a ssh session. But using a rfid-card does not work.

pi@jukebox:/etc $ sudo systemctl status rfid-reader.service
● rfid-reader.service - RFID-Reader Service

Using wget http://jukebox/index.php?player=pause works inside ssh also, but still not inside the script. Any ideas, how this could be?

Alright, fixed the problem by rtfm - obviously, things work strange if you use crontab AND systemctl at the same time to auto run the service -.-

Hi @bgraeb , you were not alone, because I WTFM (wrote the f******* manual) and had that mistake in the install script, too. Just changed that a few days ago. Good luck with the jukebox and I'd be honoured to get some pics of your work here #5 to include in the gallery
