My Streamradio (1 Viewer)

[kroko]

Hi there,

i had some trouble with radio station playing tiscali streams. So I started to built my own radio plugin. This plugin play radio streams and can display the actual song/artist on the screen. Many stations are already included. For the OSD display a station which has the song/artist on their web page is needed.

If you want to help me to have more channels here see the attaches parser.txt for inforamtion how to built a xml.

Because it looks like "My new radio" is not ongoing any more I started to thing about improving my Streamradio. So wrote a html parser to read the actual title and artist from the web site to display it in the MP. It works for some stations. I could do a xml for all station including Station Name, Country, Parser information, Internet Link, ....

Some stations use shockwave to display the actual artist. Or some have the actual cover on their site and so on.

So the best would to have a xml for every station.

How does it look on other stations ?

Here a sample from one of my sites:

(NJOY)

<div id="playList" class="topDisplay two">
<img src="/images/headline_playlist.gif" alt="N-JOY Playlist" class="blockImage" />
<img src="/images/pfeil.gif" alt="" class="icon" /><span>Jetzt: <a class="storyref" href="http://www1.n-joy.de/pages_special/0,,SPM2156,00.html" title="N-JOY Playlist">Zerrissen - JULI</a></span>
</div>

So Title = Zerissen Artist = JULI

Have you other samples from other station (maybe other countries)

Anyway, do we need a record button ? Maybe into mp3 ?

YES - the shockwave part works really good ! Including the PICTURE from the website. See my updated screenshot. I'm working now on the http parser.....

I LIKE IT

Every enchantment to the Radio-part (IP-radio especially) is very welcome.

(although I am not sure how to use this.... I never seen any Norwegian IP-radios providing coverart or music info)

Hi Spragleknas,

most of the german radios have the actual title and artist on their web page. This could be in html or via flash. I use a parser to get the data out of the page. For the swf files I decompile them and look through the action scripts to get the URL or XML adress. So most is done by parsing just easy txt based data. If there is any similar in NO send me the link of the station and I look at it.

Plugin not available yet?

Hello, i must say this looks really impressive, however i dont really know how to use it on the channels im listening to mostly.
Kroko, can u look at http://www.rockklassiker.se to see how i could extract that information about whats playing? Its in swedish and "Nu Spelas" means Now playing..
also this site http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/p3/programsidor/latlista.asp?ProgramID=1604
i would like to extract information from.

Thanks in advance


Oh and, how do i actually put it in MP? Its my second day working with this program so i dont really know how to get MP to show the actual information like in your screenshots?

 

[kroko]

It will be OK to parse following site:

http://www.rockklassiker.se/wpc/TuneTracker/Track.aspx?station=rockklassiker

Play URL for the asx file is

http://www.nwrweb.com/player/asx/10.asx?playerKey=rockklassiker&nospot




So it will work with my plugin. Right now I'm still testing. I will add your station as a sample

Right now you can only make a asx file for it and add a thumb. I will release the new version of the plugin later.
