How is this different than @mikegrb's Audio Device Workflow?

I took a look, and the underlying scheme used is the same.

 

But I did something different, for example, I will prompt the currently selected audio.

 

 

At the same time, I consider supporting AirPlay device support, of course it is not yet supported.

Got it. And you're using Node and not Perl.

 

I personalized the keywords to "output" and "input" (based on my muscle memory with the previous Workflow) and adjusted the text of the notifications to be a little clearer:

 

Audio could not be switched to {var:device}

Audio switched to {var:device}

 

 

Thanks for sharing!

@Alan He I tweaked index.js to add some context to each option (the line `title: "Switch to " + item,`), but I'm getting an empty row as a result. Any idea why? 

 

console.log(
  JSON.stringify({
    items: audios
      .map((item) => item.replace(/(^(\n|\s)|(\n|\s)$)/g, ''))
      .map((item) => ({
        title: "Switch to " + item,
        arg: item,
        subtitle: item === currentDeviceRes ? 'selected' : ''
      }))
  })
);

  })
);

 

 

some code missing cause code bug.

 

I have update workflow, please update it.

Thank you.

 

I accepted your suggestion and revised the item's description.

I am considering supporting airplay devices, which not supported currently.

@Alan He Just spotted this workflow, might be of interest:

This workflow doesn't seem to detect AirPods as a valid output option (even though they appear in the Sound preference pane)

That's true at the time, I'm thinking about updating it, but this needs to be investigated.
