display the information recovered by the audio player

[dgemily]

I posted on support section but I think here is the better place:

What I want to do:

I create a database for my radios, it’s works well but I would like to display the information recovered by the audio player (foobar or winamp) about the song that the radio plays.

If I use playlist.m3u, the information will be displaying but not with the database xml.

I know that if you use the line <type>track</type>Xlobby will understand that the item is an audio file and I will have the possibility to display the information about the item in progress (now playing)But I know only the parameter “track” for this line <type>.
Is there any other line <type> that I can used to make it clear to Xlobby that the items are radio links, in the intention to display the information of the audio player?

Thanks for your help.

In fact, I realized that you can't show the informations recovered by foobar using playlist.m3u, but you can with winamp...
is it possible to have this option with foobar ?

about my last post, what do I have to do, to show the informations about the actual playing song (on the radio) using a database.xml. (Iwould like to show the same thing that you see when you use playlist.m3u)

do I have to specify a ligne <type>......</type> in my database ?

I tried with those variables :

Code: Select all

audioplayer>now>%trackname%

and

Code: Select all

audioplayer>now>%artist%

Maybe it's better if you add specifics variables for that fonction, and maybe we will use that possibility with some others applications( not only for the radio)..

Thanks for everything

do I have to specify a ligne <type>......</type> in my database ?

no I just look for "http://" in the filename and if its http then its a stream so I read the window title. I didnt know it wasnt working for foobar, can you send me your m3u file so I have something to test against.

did you find a solution ? I would like to know it in the aim of considering how I will build my database...: do I have to use "http://" link or can use other links files, like pls, asx etc...?

I saw an empty repertory "plugin foobar", Isuppose that is for my request about foobar , thanks Steven.
