Get HTTP play_file to return immediately?

[SteveNewhouse]

Hello- I'm calling the SOCO HTTP server from a "Get Contents of URL" action in an iOS shortcut to play a file. Unfortunately the shortcut waits for the entire song to finish before continuing (which is not what I want) because the HTTP server does not provide a response until then. Is there a way to arrange it so that the server does not block while the song is playing?

This should be possible. I'll have a think about what the right design / user model should be.

SoCo-CLI v0.4.77 adds the ability to run HTTP API actions asynchronously.

You simply replace the play_file action with async_play_file.

I'd consider this experimental for time being. Please let me know if it works for you.

Wow... thank you. I will give it a go right now.
