Need Help - Shoutcast DSP metadata from txt or xml file

nitromix · 3rd September 2005, 20:45

Hi to everybody

I test today the new Shoutcast DSP, work perfect the streaming in aac+ format, but i'm looking for a solution to display Title info in realtime in winamp

I use Shoutcast DSP with Soundcard Imput, i'm playling the music from another software, radio automation software, and this software write in real time in txt file the Artist Name and Song name.
What I'm looking is a plug-in or something to can read the metadata info from this file and to send on Shoutcast server. Another

Attach is the txt file for exemple.

All replay will be welcome!

I don't think there are any tools readily available to download, but if this text file can automatically be uploaded to a webserver, then this is easily possible, could be done with a simple PHP script.

If the file is just local, then you could have a little application made which can do this..

Ys, but i want to display this on player and change this in real time, like Opticodec or Oggcast3.

No answer, is clear is not posibile

i think the answer may be to bypass the dsp, and send the info right to the dnas.

I agree with ol' blue eyes

You can "feed" the track title diplayed by the player to the DNAS -- This can be done with a browser.

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<head>

<title>///SHOUTcast DNAS Title Updater///Christopher_Walker@ATT.net///</title>

</head>

<body BGColor=#FFFFFF Text=#000000 link="blue" vlink="blue"><font face="arial,helvetica" size=-1>

<b>Updating DNAS stream track title....</b><p>



<!-- On the following line, replace 127.0.0.1:8000 with the correct values for your DNAS -->

<form action="http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin.cgi?" method="post"><font face="arial, helvetica" size=-1><b>

<!-- Replace your_password with the appropriate value -->

<input type="hidden" name="pass" value="your_password">

<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="updinfo">

New TrackInfo: <input type="text" name="song" size=60 maxlength=128>

<input type="submit" value="Update Title"><br>

</font></b></form>



<b>&copy;2004-2006 <a href="http://djspinnercee.servehttp.com/">djSpinnerCee</a>!</b>

</font>

</body>

</html>

Paste and save to disk as something.html -- Replace the IP, port and password as necessary. You can "run" this file from your desktop ... You'll have to upload it to a webserver if you want to make it available remotely...

The form METHOD may be important, your two choices are GET nd POST...

You will also not get any verification page from the DNAS if successful, so don't think it does not work -- you'll see the updated title immediately if you view the DNAS station page /index.html.

I agree with both, what i don't understand why don't make this option in Shoutcast DSP

OddCast have this option, to update the metadata from external file, opticodec have the same this option.
I hope the developers from Shoutcast to make this option in next version.

Have a nice days guys!

PS: djSpinnerCee, i try you solution but ... dosn't work on me, maybe just in local shoutcast server work, i will try later
