The NowPlayingHTML.mls script writes the current playing song to a local file.
Does anyone know the required modifications to this script to enable these details to be stored as a file on a website?
Hi Ron,
It’s not possible to upload the file directly to a ftp server
(I heard in the forum, that it would be possible to do this, if you use a program named “NetDrive” to mount your ftp directory as a local drive)
This was too much stress to me;)
Another possible way is, to install an apache server on your local machine and forward port 80 in your router to your machine.
This was too much stress for me, too. and I don’t wanted to have port 80 open and forwarded to the server;)
so I worked with a httpGet-script…
when player starts, it simply opens a website, in my case a update.php -file with Get- arguments like “update.php?singer=anyname&title=songname”.
this php-file writes a java-script file with the informations. I choosed Java-script to import this informations as easy as possible to the radiostations-website.
If you want, I can post the code…
greetings, michi
