Can't use setPlayContent with a diferent source

[Triberg]

I have a STR-DN1080 and I'm trying to select the FM Radio source. I can't seem to select it directly through SongPal, but I can set it via setPlayContent. My problem is, if the receiver is currently set to an extInput scheme, like TV, the setPlayContent doesn't work to change it to radio. If the receiver is already set to a radio station, setPlayContent can change the station as expected.

Inputs just lists the extInput sources, not the other sources

songpal --endpoint http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/sony input
Inputs:
  * SOURCE (uri: extInput:source)
    - extOutput:zone?zone=2
    - extOutput:zone?zone=4
  * BD/DVD (uri: extInput:bd-dvd)
    - extOutput:zone?zone=1
    - extOutput:zone?zone=4
  * GAME (uri: extInput:game)
    - extOutput:zone?zone=1
    - extOutput:zone?zone=4
  * SAT/CATV (uri: extInput:sat-catv)
    - extOutput:zone?zone=1
    - extOutput:zone?zone=2
    - extOutput:zone?zone=4
  * VIDEO 1 (uri: extInput:video?port=1)
    - extOutput:zone?zone=1
    - extOutput:zone?zone=2
  * VIDEO 2 (uri: extInput:video?port=2)
    - extOutput:zone?zone=1
    - extOutput:zone?zone=4
  * TV (uri: extInput:tv)
    - extOutput:zone?zone=1
  * SA-CD/CD (uri: extInput:sacd-cd)
    - extOutput:zone?zone=1
    - extOutput:zone?zone=2
    - extOutput:zone?zone=4
  * Bluetooth Audio (uri: extInput:btAudio)
    - extOutput:zone?zone=1
    - extOutput:zone?zone=2

Calling Sources lists the radio source

ExtInput is a different scheme than Radio

songpal --endpoint http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/sony command avContent getSchemeList
Calling avContent.getSchemeList with params None
INFO:songpal.device:Calling avContent.getSchemeList(None)
[{'scheme': 'extInput'}, {'scheme': 'radio'}, {'scheme': 'storage'}, {'scheme': 'dlna'}, {'scheme': 'cast'}, {'scheme': 'netService'}]

But I can get the sources for the radio scheme

songpal --endpoint http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/sony command avContent getSourceList "{'scheme':'radio'}"
Calling avContent.getSourceList with params {'scheme': 'radio'}
INFO:songpal.device:Calling avContent.getSourceList({'scheme': 'radio'})
[{'iconUrl': '', 'isBrowsable': True, 'isPlayable': True, 'meta': 'meta:radio:fm', 'outputs': ['extOutput:zone?zone=1', 'extOutput:zone?zone=2'], 'playAction': 'startPlay', 'source': 'radio:fm', 'title': 'FM'}]

Starting state is using the extInput:tv source

songpal --endpoint http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/sony command avContent getPlayingContentInfo "{}"
Calling avContent.getPlayingContentInfo with params {}
INFO:songpal.device:Calling avContent.getPlayingContentInfo({})
[{'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=1', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:tv', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:tv'}, {'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=2', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:source', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:source'}, {'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=4', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:source', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:source'}]

Setting the PlayContent to radio returns true. THIS IS A BUG because it didn't actually set the radio successfully.

songpal --endpoint http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/sony command avContent setPlayContent "{'uri':'radio:fm?contentId=2'}
Calling avContent.setPlayContent with params {'uri': 'radio:fm?contentId=2'}
INFO:songpal.device:Calling avContent.setPlayContent({'uri': 'radio:fm?contentId=2'})
True

Even though it should be playing the radio, nothing actually happened and the current playing source is still extInput:tv

songpal --endpoint http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/sony command avContent getPlayingContentInfo "{}"
Calling avContent.getPlayingContentInfo with params {}
INFO:songpal.device:Calling avContent.getPlayingContentInfo({})
[{'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=1', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:tv', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:tv'}, {'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=2', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:source', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:source'}, {'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=4', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:source', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:source'}]

I've gone into the Sony Music Center iOS app and manually changed the current input to radio station 1. So however the official app is setting the source, that works properly.

Afterward, when I query what's playing, it tells me that the source is radio:fm.

songpal --endpoint http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/sony command avContent getPlayingContentInfo "{}"
Calling avContent.getPlayingContentInfo with params {}
INFO:songpal.device:Calling avContent.getPlayingContentInfo({})
[{'broadcastFreq': 87500000, 'broadcastFreqBand': 'fm', 'contentKind': 'radio', 'fileNo': '1', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=1', 'parentUri': 'radio:fm', 'source': 'radio:fm', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'PLAYING', 'supplement': ''}, 'title': '', 'totalCount': 30, 'uri': 'radio:fm?contentId=1'}, {'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=2', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:source', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:source'}, {'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=4', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:source', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:source'}]

Now I try to set the radio to station 2.

songpal --endpoint http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/sony command avContent setPlayContent "{'uri':'radio:fm?contentId=2'}
Calling avContent.setPlayContent with params {'uri': 'radio:fm?contentId=2'}
INFO:songpal.device:Calling avContent.setPlayContent({'uri': 'radio:fm?contentId=2'})
True

I can confirm that the radio is now playing contentId 2 instead of contentId 1, as expected.

songpal --endpoint http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:10000/sony command avContent getPlayingContentInfo "{}"
Calling avContent.getPlayingContentInfo with params {}
INFO:songpal.device:Calling avContent.getPlayingContentInfo({})
[{'broadcastFreq': 89500000, 'broadcastFreqBand': 'fm', 'contentKind': 'radio', 'fileNo': '2', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=1', 'parentUri': 'radio:fm', 'source': 'radio:fm', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'PLAYING', 'supplement': ''}, 'title': '', 'totalCount': 30, 'uri': 'radio:fm?contentId=2'}, {'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=2', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:source', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:source'}, {'contentKind': '', 'output': 'extOutput:zone?zone=4', 'parentUri': '', 'source': 'extInput:source', 'stateInfo': {'state': 'STOPPED', 'supplement': ''}, 'uri': 'extInput:source'}]

In summary, my problem is that I can setPlayContent to a radio source only if the current source is radio. If the current source is extInput, the setPlayContent returns True but doesn't actually change anything.

I would love to know the answer to how to switch the source to radio via command as well.
