Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/17 09:35The “Now Playing”-screen is limited to cats “listen to music” and “last.fm”. For normal internet radio there is a standard page. With ticket 167 this may change, but not yet ready yet.
For those interested in a “Now Playing”-screen for radio station “.977 music” (broadcaster with 10 different stations), I created one (with massive support from the admins). Pls be aware it's fully hard coded and applies to this broadcaster only. However, it will give you an idea how it may look like in the future.
EDITED INSTRUCTION
To get this addition, you should:
[1] get files Download the attached zip file unzip it and paste the “image_screen.php” into folder “’/base” AFTER you’ve made a copy of the original file. Copy file “977_logo.gif” into folder “/images”.
[2] adjust file “/music_radio_image.php” Lines 15-16 of file “/music_radio_image.php” need to be altered into
[3] adjust file style.ini in the images directory
Add
Code:
NOW_977_ALBUMART = 977_logo.gif
to the file “style.ini[/] within directory “[i]/images”. I recommend to insert the line somewhere around line 217.
[4] add “.977” to your list of countries
Add “.977” to your list of countries in file “/ext/iradio/countries.txt”. As such this isn’t very fancy, but it’s only temporary (see this thread and ticket 164).
[5] add [CHANNEL] to your language file
Add [CHANNEL] plus the translation to your specific language file in “/lang”. In case of English you have to adjust file “/lang/en.xml” and it looks like:

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/17 13:48The file contained a code error causing a partial mix-up between some stations. The attached file should be fine.
Why isn't this code change already in the file if it is necessary? In the file, line 15 and 16 are comment lines.
I think this code change is supposed to be made in music_radio_image.php
To have easy access to the stations, you can add “.977” to your list of countries.
Where is this done?
I found this file in the data\ext\iradio dir
Furthermore, you should add [CHANNEL] with applicable translation to your language file in directory /lang/.
How?

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/20 14:01I've got no image You'll need to define NOW_977_ALBUMART in your style.ini and specify the actual image file.
This solution whilst nice is a bit too specific and relies on too many hardcoded details which could break in future.
I'm working on a generic solution which gets details directly from the radio server instead of a hardcoded webpage, though will not have a specific image for each station.

NOW_977_ALBUMART = 977_logo.gif
and we have an image
This solution whilst nice Well, if anyone else wants to try it (now that the directions have been tidied up a bit) it does work and 977 does give a good variety of stations.

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/25 15:12Hey Klass -
Now that this has been fully implemented by the Swiss team...
Is there a way to get the now playing screen back for .977 (and the other "broadcast stations") without overwriting their files etc?
Along that line, how will following the above steps now affect what the developers have done?Showcenters 1000g/200/250HD Popcorn Hour A-100 Netgear HDX101 Powerline Adapters Windows XP Simese 2.07 running latest SVN NAS Server IBM NetVista 900Mhz/256RAM

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/26 19:01Hi Stu,
Stu wrote:Is there a way to get the now playing screen back for .977 (and the other "broadcast stations") without overwriting their files etc? I don’t think so. I although I’m sure it is possible to generate track info outside the current files, the info needs to be called by file “/base/image_screens.php” to get in on the screen. This means that this file always needs to adjusted.
On the other hand, it doesn’t change very often and to get the “.977 Now Playing-screen is not that much work. Basically, you have to copy additional code into the file and your done. In the attached file it’s row 88 until and including row 303.
So far I’ve “Now Playing”-screens for .977 (10 channels) and Absolute Radio (3 channels) and KinK Aardschok (Dutch Rock Channel). The approach to Absolute Radio and Kink is slightly different to .977 as the track info from the latter comes from their website, while the info of the first two comes from the respective servers.
If you like to have the latest radio screen as implemented by Nigel, except for .977, Absolute and (if you like) KinK, then paste file “image_screens.php” into directory “/base, the images files including “style.ini” into directory “/images[i]” and finally directory “[i]sc_parser” into the main SwissCenter directory. This directory contains the files that parses the server info. This info is called in file “image_screens.php” by rows 202 through 213. You should change the server IP and port into yours. And then it should work (if I didn’t forget anything ... )
I’m pretty sure that the code could be more efficient and elegant, but I’m no expert in PHP and I don’t know how to do it; maybe I’ll find out somewhere in time ...
Do you have any other broadcasters in mind that you want to play with such a “Now Playing”-screen?

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/26 23:44Hi Klaas!
Thank you so much for your time on this.
If you like to have the latest radio screen as implemented by Nigel, except for .977, Absolute and (if you like) KinK, ok.. .977 is working great again..
With absolute, I get the now playing screen and the artwork but I don't get the artist and track information. I don't know what "Kink" is as that doesn't show up in the broadcast list.
Do you have any other broadcasters in mind that you want to play with such a “Now Playing”-screen? Can you do it with Sky.FM?Showcenters 1000g/200/250HD Popcorn Hour A-100 Netgear HDX101 Powerline Adapters Windows XP Simese 2.07 running latest SVN NAS Server IBM NetVista 900Mhz/256RAM

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/27 03:07Hi Stu,
There could be two reasons, that Absolute and (probably also) KinK aren’t working.
[1] directory “sc_parser” including all “sc”-files should be copied to the main directory of SwissCenter; [2] file “/base/image_screens” must be adjusted; change the server’s ip and port number in row 202 through 213 into yours. Eg
Code:
elseif ($station_name == 'Absolute Classic Rock, live from London, UK Hi BR MP3')
{$html = file_get_contents('http://192.168.1.2:8050/sc_parser/sc_absolute_classic_rock.php');
$html_a = file_get_contents('http://192.168.1.2:8050/sc_parser/sc_absolute_classic_rock.php');}
Change IP 192.168.1.2 and port 8050 according your set-up.
If it’s still not working as it should , can you check whether there’s a difference between “Absolute Classic Rock” and the other two Absolute Channels? Moreover, if you enter
Stu wrote:… don't know what "Kink" is as that doesn't show up in the broadcast list.KinK is a Dutch broadcaster with three channel for alternative and rock music. Have a look here. If you like the music you can add the station to file “/ext/iradio/broadcasters.txt”, and it will appear in your list of broadcasters.

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/27 16:29Hi Stu,
The code of the “parser-files wasn’t fit for PHP4, causing the problem; I’ve revised the code and you should try it again. Besides there are “Now Playing”-screens for Absolute, KinK and Disney Tunes Radio Network. Sky.FM is coming up.

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/27 17:03Hi Nigel,
Well, not all channels contain track title, artist and year; in order to make the labels disappear when empty, I've defined $html, $html_a and $html_y. In rows 284 and 290 this is effectuated.
Any clue how to make this more efficient?

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/28 13:41Hi Nigel,
I got problems to parse the track info from “Sky.FM” (like 80s, 80s, 80s). For common broadcasters I can use the following script:
But the script doesn’t work for Sky.FM as I cannot find out the IP of Sky,FM.
As file “/music_radio_image.php” does the job, I know it should be possible. Can you give me a hint how to proceed?
many thanks & regards, Klaas ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end File22, File23 contain host and port addresses. I've not tried them but I guess both should work. My implementation will use the first.
Your script is essentially doing the same as mine but I parse the playlist for the host and port whereas you have them hardcoded.

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/28 14:42Hi Nigel,
Thanks a lot, but answers often give birth to more curiosity , so I got one more question. How could I link up $host and $port (as mentioned in my script above) with the station selected iow how can I get rid off the hard coding.

The $now_playing variable contains the now playing track so you can remove all your '$html = file_get_contents...' and change '$title = substr_between_strings($html,' - ',' (');' to '$title = substr_between_strings($now_playing,' - ',' (');' etc.Player : Netgear EVA700 & Popcorn A-100 (081224) Server : Vista SP1 Home Premium (Simese 2.06, SwissCenter current SVN) Spec : Intel C2Q Q6600, 2GB RAM, 2Tb storage.

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/28 20:57If you're feeling ambitious then have a go at making progress with ticket #164.
It requires a new configuration page to define genres, countries, and broadcasters to replace the txt files. With the broadcasters you could also specify an image for each which would be an acceptable solution for what you are doing.
You've done the now playing screen, but to get it submitted we need it configurable Player : Netgear EVA700 & Popcorn A-100 (081224) Server : Vista SP1 Home Premium (Simese 2.06, SwissCenter current SVN) Spec : Intel C2Q Q6600, 2GB RAM, 2Tb storage.

Re: Now Playing for radio station .977 Music - 2008/10/29 06:58Hi Nigel,
Nigel wrote:If you're feeling ambitious then have a go at making progress with ticket #164. OK, I’ll try, but probably come back to you many times with questions (if you don’t mind).
But first things first, the attached “/base/image_screens.php” is a ‘generic’ result re the radio “Now Playing”-screen in the sense that all channels with track info within “$now_playing” will get the standard “Now Playing”-screen with artist, track title and (if applicable) year separately. The channels without info will be directed to the current “Radio Now Playing”-screen, showing the channel title on top of the screen.
Directory “sc_parsers” as mentioned in the posts above is not necessary anymore and can be deleted.
PS Should this thread move to "development"? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- SwissCenter SVN 1109 Simese 1.40 / PHP 4.4.4 / MySQL 4.0.21 / Windows XP Apache 2.2.8 / PHP 5.2.6 / MySQL 5.0.51b / Linux Synology 2.6.15 Synology DS107+ (128), firmware: DSM 2.0-0702 Pinnacle SC200
