Direct buttons for PiCore Player

[James]

@sharptools501, you can use the REST API syntax described in the post below in the Hyperlink tile to send the GET request to your PiCore server without opening the link.

How To: Call REST API from Hyperlink Tiles (Syntax)

The latest SharpTools.io release includes support for making HTTP / REST API calls from any tile that supports hyperlink actions.

Tiles that support Hyperlink action (tap to expand)

Monthly Calendar Tile Weather Tile Hero Attribute Tile Clock Tile Date Tile Day of Week Tile Media Tile Variable Tiles String Variable Tile Number Variable Tile True/False Variable Tile

Important The REST endpoint you are calling must be SSL encrypted. Most browsers will throw a mixed-content warning if …

For example: (please note that the URL is wrapped within the double quote ", not the “ and ” that the community s/w decides to display.)

$.get(“http://172.16.0.241:9000/status.html?p0=pause”)

–EDIT–
This wouldn’t work in this specific scenario because it REST API syntax requires HTTPS since most browsers will throw mixed-content warning if sending request to an insecure endpoint.
