- Reference original API documentation source from Bose Corporation
- Link to official Bose SoundTouch End-of-Life page
- Clarify this is an independent implementation
- Add disclaimer about non-affiliation with Bose Corporation
- Provide both online and local documentation references
- Added urfave/cli/v2 dependency for better CLI structure
- Created modular command structure with separate files:
- common.go: Shared utilities and client setup
- cmd_discover.go: Device discovery commands
- cmd_info.go: Device information commands
- cmd_volume.go: Volume control commands
- cmd_playback.go: Playback control commands
- cmd_source.go: Source selection commands
- Replaced giant main() function (complexity 149) with organized subcommands
- Added proper flag handling and validation
- Improved help text and user experience
WIP: Some issues remain (flag conflicts, missing commands)
Next: Complete remaining commands and fix conflicts
Features Added:
• mDNS/Bonjour discovery using hashicorp/mdns library
• Unified discovery service combining UPnP + mDNS + configuration
• Parallel discovery execution for optimal performance
• Comprehensive logging for both UPnP and mDNS discovery
• Network diagnostic tools for troubleshooting
New Discovery Methods:
• Configuration-based (fastest, most reliable)
• UPnP/SSDP discovery (widely supported, enhanced logging)
• mDNS/Bonjour discovery (Apple ecosystem friendly)
New Programs & Tools:
• cmd/example-mdns - Standalone mDNS discovery testing
• cmd/example-upnp - Isolated UPnP/SSDP discovery testing
• cmd/mdns-scanner - Network diagnostic tool for mDNS services
Enhanced Build System:
• make dev-mdns / dev-mdns-verbose (mDNS testing)
• make dev-upnp / dev-upnp-verbose (UPnP testing)
• make dev-scan-all (scan all network services)
• make dev-scan-soundtouch (scan for SoundTouch services)
Documentation:
• docs/DISCOVERY.md - Comprehensive discovery guide
• Updated README.md with new features and commands
• Full API documentation and troubleshooting guide
Technical Improvements:
• Detailed request/response logging for UPnP M-SEARCH
• Step-by-step mDNS service discovery tracking
• IP address resolution with IPv4/IPv6 handling
• Service name parsing and device info extraction
• Robust error handling and network diagnostics
Backward Compatibility:
• No breaking changes to existing APIs
• All existing tests pass
• CLI interface unchanged but enhanced
• Legacy UPnP-only service still available
- Implement HTTP client with XML support for SoundTouch Web API
- Add UPnP device discovery with SSDP protocol
- Create type-safe Go models for API responses
- Build CLI tool with device discovery and info commands
- Add comprehensive configuration management via .env and env vars
- Include extensive documentation (API endpoints, patterns, development guide)
- Translate all German documentation to English
- Set up modern Go project structure with testing framework
- Add Makefile for cross-platform builds and development workflow
Features:
✅ Device discovery (UPnP + manual configuration)
✅ Device information retrieval
✅ XML request/response handling
✅ CLI interface with flexible device targeting
✅ Cross-platform compatibility
✅ Comprehensive test coverage with mock data
✅ Production-ready configuration management
