tschoof Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sweet, works great Thank you! Link to comment
Davide Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Wonderful! Thanks! Possible to add "Open Airfoil Equalizer" and to show the Equalizer presets within Alfred? Possible to show the original Airfoil Speaker icons? Link to comment
jan Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hello, thanks for your feedback. Davide: I don't think your requests are possible - the Airfoil AppleScript support is very limited (see http://rogueamoeba.com/support/knowledgebase/?showArticle=AirfoilAppleScript) - jan Link to comment
jan Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 Small update: the workflow can now find the Application's icon for source selection if its in /Applications Download Thanks to David for the hint Link to comment

naga098 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Is it at all possible to launch the Airfoili Video Player from Alfred? This would save a lot of mouse clicks.... Link to comment
ChrisHumphreys Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Thanks works well for me Link to comment
jan Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Is it at all possible to launch the Airfoili Video Player from Alfred? This would save a lot of mouse clicks.... The Airfoil Video Player is just an .app thats inside of the Airfoil.app bundle. You can add "$AIRFOILPATH/Contents/MacOS" to your Alfred "Search Scope" (Settings, Features, Default Results) and you're done. Another option is to write your own simple Workflow: +, Templates, Essentials, Keyword to Applescript Choose your keyword (no arguments) set applescript to on alfred_script(q) tell application "Airfoil Video Player" set test to track title end tell end alfred_script Edited May 18, 2013 by jan Link to comment

melifluo Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi i'd like airfoil to switch to Google Chrome output in order to listen to some videos (i dont really need the images, so no airfoil video player needed) on a specific URL. I downloaded jan's workflow and its update by chrishumphreys. I don't understand at all AppleScript however much I tried. But i can enter the necessary commands or arguments if somebody wants to help. PS: one more cool feature would be to have Google Chrome open on the same desktop dedicated to airfoil... Thanks in advance, any help would be vey appreciated. Link to comment
jan Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hello melifluo, I dont really understand your problem. You can open your video in chrome and set Airfoil's Input to Chrome and everything should work...? If Chrome is not shown automatically in Alfred, just switch once in Airfoil. Alfred shows the latest few selections. BTW: Maybe the Extension is currently not working at the moment. There was a bug in Airfoil, they fixed it but its not yet released. - jan Link to comment
alfro Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hi Jan, I just found your workflow and was very happy to see, that someone took the time to create just what I needed :-) Thanks! I have a problem, though: The speaker-selection does not work. If I select it Alfred just shows the search options (DuckDuckGo, Amazon etc.). Do you know whether this might have to do with the bug you mentioned above? Link to comment

The AppleScript that collects the available speaker crashes. I hope the Airfoil update is released soon. - jan Link to comment
alfro Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hi Jan, thanks for your reply. This is actually good news. I was afraid that the problem might only concern my system. Now I'm looking forward for the update to be released. Cheers alfro Link to comment

I guess I got it now: when entering my KBS for "afsource" i can see below Spotify, Google Chrome and so forth, great, great, great ! But when entering "afspeaker" KBS (keyboard shortcut), nothing happens. This might be due the bug in Airfoil mentioned in this thread, is that right?
