Hi, as ROCK can be shutdown via the URL [http://rock.local/1/poweroff](http://rock.local/1/poweroff) I wonder, if I can use some API stuff like play or skip via an URL. Is this possible? ---

Something like [this](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/roon-extension-roon-web-controller-v1-2-0/28412) maybe? ---

No. I don’t need an interface, just URLs 😉 Also the ROCK seems not to support extensions, so it wouldn’t help me. ☹ ---

Why do you think Rock doesn’t support extensions? I know for sure it does. I don’t know what you mean by an interface V URL. What I linked to is a web based (access via URL) Roon controller. ---

Roon Server on ROCK supports extensions alright, but currently there’s no facility for running NodeJS/Roon Extensions on a ROCK machine directly – they’ll need to run elsewhere in your network. ---

Thanks, so it’s no option for me as I bought the NUC to replace my iMac for music listening. ---

You could always ditch Rock and install a linux distro of your choice. Something makes me think that the ability to run other stuff on Rock is in the works though. ---

@RBM In which folder do I install extensions in ROCK?
