Hi I was just wondering if it is possible to have a button to turn on or off the schedule?
I am happy to do this through scripting or the api if this is possible.
Cheers

physical button or virtual button? Both possible. Look at Big button addin for FPP. Attach start playlist or stop playlist to two buttons.

If physical button, connect to a GPIO and do the same.

Thanks, I can do that but I wont a script that will disable a schedule, regardless of what the playlist is. I can setup a lot of players and don't always know what the name of the playlist will be.

I found a solution using Curl.

Enable Schedule
curl 'http://10.0.0.253/api/settings/DisableScheduler'; \
  -X 'PUT' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8' \
  --data-raw '1' \
  --insecure
 
  curl -X PUT http://10.0.0.253/api/settings/restartFlag \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{'1'}"

Disable Schedule
curl 'http://10.0.0.253/api/settings/DisableScheduler'; \
  -X 'PUT' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8' \
  --data-raw '0' \
  --insecure
 
  curl -X PUT http://10.0.0.253/api/settings/restartFlag \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{'1'}"

Hope this helps someone :)
