I've made a Radio NPC that streams songs off the internet but how do I find the Artist and Title of the current song? I've seen server Aeon done this, so I know this is possible.

Yeah, I always wondered where that info came from my self. I'm assuming your streaming from a pls file or so, right?

Although you cannot get the current title name off of a stream in particular, you can get the name off of the ID3 tags (if provided with the files) by using getmusictags(). This returns a list of the ID3 tags of the file in an array.

Stefan posted about this some time ago:

HTML Code:

- script functions getMusicTags() (returns array) and getMusicStatus()

(returns string) for knowing more about the currently

played music

- script event onMusicDataReceived(dataname,datavalue) for

getting the title and artist of an internet stream (the stream server

is sending this all few seconds)

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE 

function onCreated() { 

  // Retrieve the playlist via http 

  this.req = requestURL("http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=3281&file=filename.pls"); 

  catchevent(this.req,"onReceiveData","onData"); 

} 



function onData(obj) { 

  // Got the playlist data:  

  // parse the returned data for a line like "File1=http://streamlocation" 

  for (line: obj.data) { 

    if (line.starts("File1=")) { 

      // Play the real url 

      play(line.substring(6)); 

      // Also start a timer to display the music info 

      setTimer(0.1); 

      break; 

    } 

  } 

  this.req = NULL; 

} 



function onTimeout() { 

  // Display the music data 

  if (getMusicStatus()!="") 

    echo("music status: " @ getMusicStatus()); 

  if (getMusicStatus()=="ok") 

    echo("music info: " @ getMusicTags()); 

  else 

    setTimer(0.1); 

} 



function onMusicDataReceived(dataname,datavalue) { 

  // Music meta data is sent by the stream server 

  // all few seconds, dataname is either ARTIST or TITLE 

  echo("music data: " @ dataname @ " - " @ datavalue); 

}

It's possible the stream you're using doesn't give ID3 data ... did you try a different stream?

Awesome, thanks Skyld!

I tried it with http://208.122.59.30:7274 (Tribal House stream on di.fm) and got the following:

NPC Code:

music data: ARTIST - Alejandro Rado

music data: TITLE - Push The Desert (March 2008 pt1)

music data: StreamUrl -
