someone have a idea for an automatic posting system (for programs info) directly from airtime ?

Stanislav Hanzhin-Tsvetkov

Yep. This can be done with a little liquid soap script hack. You can put
your handler on track change and invoke a script posting current metadata
via social services API.

have you an example ?

Stanislav Hanzhin-Tsvetkov

May be I'm misunderstanding something here. The previous solution was for
track change notification. If you want to notify your SN accounts about new
shows in calendar, then you need some different hack.

that's effectively i want to do ;-)

Roger Wilco

I've seen folks establish a Twitter accounts strictly for issuing Artist/Track updates. On the surface, that seems pretty neat! On the other hand, publishing an unlimited rolling timeline probably has more negative consequences than positives! Do you really want FB or Twitter owning this information? Facebook is about kaput (no really), Twitter still has no viable business model, and Google probably already pwns your email. Just my 2¢ :ar!

Albert FR

not all songs ;-)
only shows
I'm not crazy :D

Hi All,

any progress on this argument?
We're starting a music promotion service and our customers are asking us for tweet automatically information from Airtime.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

In fact the only solution is to code an xml parser from weekly programs and push them in time to twitter

I would be inclined to use the live-info API and use nextShow:

"nextShow":[{"id":"9","starts":"2013-06-20 17:00:00",

to tweet the next show name, time and URL a few minutes before show start. That way, your fans have time to respond to the tweet, retweet and still catch the beginning of their favourite show.

Lisa Lang

right, but can you set it up to tweet automatically (for instance every 15
min before the show starts)?

that's effectively the good way to do
you can do that with a cron task

an php example (for twitter) :

Would love an example of how to do per-track change (most of my shows are indeed tracks so would work) from Airtime to Twitter...looked at the API but no idea how to turn that into a tweet.

Albert FR

you need to parse xml datas from your radio, for example

radio.myradio.org/api/live-info/?callback

searching the tag NextShow and taking all informations needed like name, url, timestamp

Lisa Lang

Keep us in the loop how you go with this Tim!
Let me know how we can help!

Best,
Lisa.

that's not so difficult Lisa ;-)
only need a little time to code it ;-)

A fast way I found to tweet track data was to pull from the icecast server , via cron every few minutes..(or if you wanted to post on demand) but you could just as easily use api. .. I can forward script if you like ..

Albert FR

sending from icecast can't be useful, track identification is impossible

no, the good way is to parse

/api/live-info/?callback

and tweet them after

Philip Moyle

artist and title

$listen = '<a href=\"
http://x.com:80/din0.m3u\"></a> ';

$msg = http_get("http://fx.com/getstatus.xsl"); // print_r($msg);
$spl = explode( '<pre>', $msg ) ;
$spl = str_replace( '</pre>', '', $spl[1] ) ;
$spl = explode( " ", $spl ) ;
$flds = $spl[0] ;
$spl = explode( "\n", $flds ) ;
array_shift($spl) ;
// print_r($spl);
// Build stations information.
$stations = array();
// print_r($stations);
foreach ( $spl as $e ) {
 // echo "xxx$e"; echo "\n";
 if ( ($e !== " _END_") && ( $e !== " ") && ( $e !== "") && ( $e !== " MountPoint,Server Name,Description,Data Type,Bitrate,Quality,Video Quality,Frame Size,Frame Rate,Listeners,Peak Listeners,Genre,Server URL,Artist,Title" ) ) {
 // Only for valid stations, reject empty and marker tags
 $p = explode( '|', $e );
 // print_r($p);
 $stations[$p[0]]['Name'] = $p[1] ;
 $stations[$p[0]]['Description'] = $p[2] ;
 $stations[$p[0]]['Listeners'] = $p[9] ;
 $stations[$p[0]]['Peak'] = $p[10] ;
 $stations[$p[0]]['Artist'] = $p[14] ;
 $stations[$p[0]]['Title'] = $p[13] ;
 }
 //print_r($stations);
}
// Prod playlist information first...
$curtitle = $stations[$fall]['Title'] ;
$curartist = $stations[$fall]['Artist'] ;
$listeners = $stations[$fall]['Listeners'] ;
$peak = $stations[$fall]['Peak'] ;
$stream = $stations[$fall]['Name'] ;
//echo $listen . "\n" ;
if ( !empty( $stations[$prod]['Name'] ) ) {
 $curtitle = $stations[$prod]['Title'] ;
 $curartist = $stations[$prod]['Artist'] ;
 $listeners = $stations[$prod]['Listeners'] ;
 $peak = $stations[$prod]['Peak'] ;
 $stream = str_replace( 'on DinRadio', '', $stations[$prod]['Name'] ) ;
}
// Sanitize information, just for being sure it looks nice

Philip Moyle

or the api is something like this

$json_string = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://fx.com:8080/api/live-info'),TRUE);
//print_r($json_string);
$array =(array_values($json_string));
//print_r($array);
//print_r(array_count_values($array));

if (empty($array[2]['name'])||empty($array[3]['name'])||empty($array[4]['name']))
{
exit(0);
}

$now_ttitle = ($array[3]['name']);
$now_end = ($array[3]['ends']);
$now_strt = ($array[3]['starts']);
list($now_artist,$now_ttitle) = explode(" - ",$array[3]['name']);
$next_ttitle = ($array[4]['name']);
$next_end = ($array[4]['ends']);
$next_strt = ($array[4]['starts']);
list($next_artist,$next_ttitle) = explode(" - ",$array[4]['name']);
$prev_ttitle = ($array[2]['name']);
$prev_end = ($array[2]['ends']);
$prev_strt = ($array[2]['starts']);
list($prev_artist,$prev_ttitle) = explode(" - ",$array[2]['name']);
//print_r($array);
//print_r(array_keys($json_string));

Philip Moyle

this works with airtime api.. just add bitly,twitter keys and comments to suit.. uses php twitteroauth so you need to install latest version, and set path. its not perfect but should work for next show as well with change to arrays parameter... could either run from cron or get ajax/javascript to call it..

Albert FR

this why NextShow and TimeStamp are mandatory ;-)

Howdy, Stranger!
