I guess you found 'widgets'. :\

Michael Peters

no. Can you point me there and what do they do?

So far, I found
http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/airtime-25-for-broadcasters/exporting-the-schedule/

And I'm now busy writing JSON deserialize code that doesn't care about the fact that the JSON created by the callback function is not valid, so that I can read previous, current, and next track.

When I put
http://185.44.107.184/api/live-info/?callback
into this page:
https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/
I get "Invalid JSON (RFC 4627)"

This is what I did: http://www.deprogrammedradio.com/

Michael Peters

wrong thread :) and the jPlayer doesn't seem to display metadata does it?

Michael Peters

"This is what I did: http://www.deprogrammedradio.com/"

so what is it you did, exactly?

John Chewter

? There is a player showing metadata and a week schedule.
The metatata is displayed just below the player bar and inside the widget box.
I give up.

Michael Peters

don't give up so quickly. I also won't give up quickly.

You sent me a website without comments and I didn't even know what you wanted to show me. After you commented, I saw that you wanted to show me that it does work.

I originally read _on the jPlayer website_ that jPlayer so far doesn't display metadata, so I believed them. Apparently that isn't true any longer.

I'm currently trying it for myself, so maybe it'll work.

Michael Peters

making it a little more tedious:

I've copied your code from deprogrammedradio and modified it for my radio station.

http://ct-collective.com/jPlayer_demo/jplayer-demo.html

It works basically but it only displays the names of the shows (current and next). I don't need the show names. It should display the artist/track names (last, current, next).

I don't see any documentation for this in the manual.

If you had copied it from the manual, I think that is what you would get. I need shows. We are a speech station

Michael Peters

"if you had copied it from the manual"

are we talking about this page?

http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/airtime-25-for-broadcasters/stream-player-for-your-website/

I have tried this code of course but it doesn't display any metadata

John Chewter

I just put the 'now and next' widget code under the player code.
The other place you can get the metadata from is from Icecast.
You can parse the xml status page

hi John,

I have a more or less functional player with "current" and "next" now, all based on the widgets, no extra code:

http://www.ct-collective.com/jplayer/jplayer.html (usually running in a smaller popup window).

But:

"Current" is filled with the next title already about a minute before the next title actually starts. This also happens in the Airtime frontend and the Airtime "listen" player. Something is out of sync here. What is happening? can that be fixed?

Or <gasp> is the server so slow (it seems to be slow) that buffering the audio file takes a minute?

-Michael

Howdy, Stranger!
