Roll20 Audio Master (or Roll20AM) is a script that allows you to replicate all of the commands in the basic u Jukebox, and then some via chat commands or a user interface that displays within q Text Chat, along with the ability to grant players selective access to the jukebox.


Overview

Playing Music via the Roll20AM, 15min, by Nick O.

Roll20 Audio Master (or Roll20AM) is a script that allows you to replicate all of the commands in the basic u Jukebox, and then some via chat commands or a user interface that displays within q Text Chat, along with the ability to grant players selective access to the jukebox.

The script allows playlist functionality by importing all tracks and playlists from u Jukebox into Roll20AM. There's an ability to create up to 4 dynamic playlists (called Tags) from individual tracks so you don't have to go back and manipulate Jukebox and import again into Roll20AM. The in-game help has been disabled for the time being because of the new User Interface, which makes building help around the UI a challenge.

The API command always starts with:

!roll20AM

Contents

Getting Started

By default, Roll20AM doesn't have access to any of your u Jukebox tracks & playlists, so they need to be imported.

To import all tracks & playlist in your u Jukebox to Roll20AM, do the following command once(it should update the chat to mention they are now imported):

!roll20AM --config,import

The Configuration Menu is where you can change setting for Roll20AM:

!roll20AM --config

To check if Roll20AM have access to your tracks, you can do:(or select "Tracks" from the Config Menu)

!roll20AM --config,menu=tracks

If you want to give players access to the api, do, then check #player-section:

!roll20AM --edit,access|player


If you have a track named "Wind", you can make it play & stop with these commands:

!roll20AM --audio,play|Wind
!roll20AM --audio,stop|Wind

The User Interface

The UI is designed so once you are in it, you won't have to execute Roll20AM commands. You access it with the command:

!roll20AM --config

It can be handy to create a quickbar macro to quickly access the menu without having to type it out.

Configuration Menu

Roll20AM Config Menu
  • Master Volume - Click on the volume level to set another default volume. This updates all playlists and tracks. Master volume is the loudness (0-100) that a track will start playing at.
  • Fade Time - Click on the seconds to set another default. This updates all playlists and tracks to the new fade time. Fade time is the number of seconds to fade in or fade out tracks.
  • Delayed - Click on the seconds to set another Delayed time. This updates all playlists and tracks. Delayed is the number of seconds to wait before anything is done with a track.
  • Playlists - Brings up the Playlists Menu, which shows all playlists you have defined in Jukebox.
  • Tracks - Brings up the Tracks Menu, which shows all tracks you have in Jukebox. If you have a lot of tracks, this menu can be a challenge to use
  • Tags - Brings up the Tags Menu, which shows 4 Tags (Tag 1 through Tag 4). Tags are "dynamic" playlists that enable you to assign any number of tracks into one of the 4 tags
  • Stop All Tracks - Stops audio for all tracks across all playlists
  • Import Jukebox - Brings in all Playlists from Jukebox, assigns all tracks in those Jukebox playlists to the Playlists in Roll20AM and brings in all other tracks that may not be assigned to Jukebox Playlists
  • Remove All - Cleans out Roll20AM by removing all playlists and tracks from Roll20AM. This does not affect Jukebox. Use this when you make a lot of changes to your Jukebox Playlists. This is also needed when there is a schema change in Roll20AM. Check Schema version at the top of the script.
  • Viewed By - Ability to assign control of Roll20AM to a single or all players. Roll20AM menus may be viewed by: GM (Only), All (all players), Individual Player (drop list list of players to choose from).
  • Access - Ability to give that person access to selective or all tracks: None (no player access to tracks or playlists), Full (full access to tracks or playlists), Limited (GM has to go through tracks and playlists and click the padlock icon in order to enable access)
  • Menu Display - Ability to turn off all menu display, EXCEPT for the config menu. That will always come up so you can turn back on Menu display. This removes the requirement for the nomenu command in Macros

Audio Master Controls

Two tracks shown in the menu, where the first track is unlocked(and therefore accessible to the player)

What each symbol or part of the menu does.

  • Playlist or Tag Name - click on it to view the tracks assigned to the Playlist or Tag

  • Fade Time - click on the number of seconds brings up a roll query where you can enter a new fade time (in seconds). This is applied to all tracks in the playlist/tag, if clicked there, or to an individual track, if clicked there. Fade time is used to determine time it takes to fade in and fade out a track
  • Delayed Time - click on the number of seconds to bring up a roll query where can enter a new delayed time (in seconds).

Delayed time determines the number of seconds to wait until the next Roll20AM action is taken.

Using the Script

Basic Syntax

The contents of a command will change based on what you are doing, but the basic format will always look like this(case sensitive and all commands must start with this):

  • --config - displays menus or imports jukebox into Roll20AM or removes everything from Roll20AM
  • Audio Commands - play,stop,fade,in,out,increase,decrease are a small list of sample commands
  • | (doesn't seem true?)- all commands must have a | character at the end. This is required. Everything after the | will be a comma delimited lists of Playlists, Tags, Tracks or any combination and must match the name of the Playlist, Tag, or Track.

Then you need to grant players access to individual tracks or playlists. Config Menu has "lock" symbol to show if track/playlist is available to player or not.
