Hi Marduk,

I don't know if you are aware that the web interface can only play
scheduled content (you need to put the songs in a playlist, and set a
time in advance when the playlist will start playing).

There are two ways of doing what you want, neither of them super-easy.

The harder but better way is to modify the source code of the
scheduler; see this thread on the campcaster-dev list about how to do
it:
http://code.campware.org/phorum/read.php?12,5679,5688#msg-5688

The other way is to modify the web interface; this is easier to do
because it is written in PHP, not C++ like the scheduler.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to get real-time information this
way. What the web interface currently does (to display its "Now
playing" information) is to query the database containing the schedule
of programs, and deduce what _should_ be playing at the moment. It is
probably not too hard to find this function in the web interface's
code, and add your hook there.

The third option is to file a feature request on the Campcaster bugtracker:
http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster
(log in as "guest" with the password "campware", and click on "New
ticket"), and wait until they implement this feature for you. Feature
requests which come with some money get filled quicker.

Hope this helps,

Ferenc
