my shoutcast database with 420 radios

[dgemily]

Hmm, once you have found a station that you like, it is very hard to rememeber where the heck it was.

How would one go about adding favourite buttons that you could assign stations too?

edgley, C-moi give me a solution :


use offline/online option

Thats not very nice, bon ami

To tell me that you can do it, and not tell me how. Sacra blu

How do I do it please?

Maybe if you give me money, I will tell to you how that it works... I’m joking….

It’s the same way that you can use to differentiate online/offline movies: Go to the setup menu, databases tab, select the database shoutcast and then press “edit”. In the new window, select your favourite radios and check “online” for every radio that you want…

Now, you have to assign a picture for your online item,
Go to the skin editor, select your category and go to the “category” tab, then “display” sub-tab:
Press online button and select the picture that you want for your favourite radios (online radios)

An other way is to select a picture (setup menu, databases tab, select the database shoutcast and then press “edit”. In the new window, select your favourite radios) then assign a “cover” for every item that you want.

Voila,

To make this feature more user friendly you want the facility of assigning an event to a button on your remote that sets the status to offline.

Good to see more people are starting to think of creative ways to use overlays, however we need events to be able to control category information, like offline.

Check out this thread for a new feature and cast your vote.

[QTips]

excelent work dgemily !

Is it possibel to get your latest Shoutcast_to_Xml.vbs which sort whitout subdir so I can create my own database ?

would it also be sortable with filters?

[dgemily]

QTips, you will not be able to sort correctly your database without subdir, that why I did them.
anyway Here : http://france.xlobby.com/forum/dgemily/Shoutcast_to_Xmlnosubdir.zip is the Shoutcast_to_Xml.vbs to build your database without subdir (just one click).

[QTips]

I noticed that too...so I keep it with subdirs since the searchpage is very good to have.I made a couple of buttons to quick make a favourite list with the new event set variable.So now I am a happy shoutcast radio listener

[dgemily]

I find a way to play a file with only one click.
I assigned an event ("lire radio" here) to my category . look at the screenshot

I am not having any luck with this, I have been all over Sun/Java sites downloading and configuring and reading all your post,,,,, my eyes have lcd burn

All I was wanting was all Shoutcast "House" stations above 128 kbps

if you can help me out that would be great

I use HeavyMetalCarbon if that makes any difference

thnx bud

We can not use "House" as parmameter, there is not a section "House" you must use "Dance" then you will have house stations .

here is the list of all categories (paramter-category) :

TopTen - Top 25 Streams
Alternative - Alternative
Classical - Classical
Comedy - Comedy
Country - Country
Dance - Dance/House
Funk - Funk
Jazz - Jazz
Metal - Metal

Pop - Pop
Rap - Rap
RnB - RnB
Rock - Rock
Talk - Talk
Techno - Techno
