[streaming] Re: how do you display the shoutcast title info?

[james]

well I found a work around.
I have been wanting to play around with web interface anyway so I found a 
work aroud that actually is pretty cool. for 1 line of html.

I a way to show the current song playing on the web interface for shoutcast 
servers. it also displays the current server info. 


I added a line to index.html in the http directory
<table>
<vlc id="rpn" param1="0"/>
<vlc id="foreach" param1="pl" param2="playlist" />
<tr class="<vlc id="if" param1="pl.index 2 % 0 =" 

/>ligne1<vlc id="else" />ligne2<vlc id="end" />">
<td>
<input type="checkbox" name="item" value="<vlc 

id="value" param1="pl.index" />"/>
<vlc id="if" param1="pl.current" />
<strong>
<vlc id="end" />
<a href="?control=play&amp;item=<vlc id="value" 

param1="pl.index" />">
<vlc id="value" param1="pl.index" /> - <vlc id="value" 

param1="pl.uri" /><vlc id="if" param1="pl.uri value pl.name
<http://pl.name>value strcmp"/>

(<vlc id="value" param1="pl.name <http://pl.name>" />)<vlc id="end"/></a>
<vlc id="if" param1="pl.current" />
</strong>
***ADD THE LINE BELOW
<iframe src="<vlc id="value" param1="pl.uri" />" 

name="<vlc id="value" param1="pl.uri" />" width="425" height="500" 

scrolling="yes" frameborder="1" scrollbars="yes" 
id="bassdrive"></iframe><br>
***END OF LINE TO ADD
<vlc id="end" />
</td>
</tr>
<vlc id="rpn" param1="1 +"/>
<vlc id="end" />
<vlc id="if" param1="0 ="/>
<tr class="ligne1">
<td>empty playlist</td>
</tr>
<vlc id="end"/>
</table>

I you might want to play with refresh tag as well.

start "reggea" /min D:\vlc\vlc-0.8.0\vlc.exe --loop --volume 30 

http://instert address of favorite shoutcast server/

is a great way to see if the internet has come back up. when you hear music 

you know you are back online.
