Hello,
I have a site setup that runs an icecast2 server on the backend. I'm using Centova Cast (http://www.centova.com) on the backend as well to see listener stats and schedule an auto-dj and playlists when we don't have a live show.
I'm using Drupal on the front end with the station module.
I use the On Air block to show what show is playing when we have live scheduled DJs, but I would like to display the song name in this block when Centova's auto-dj function is running.
Centova provides code snippets to display the current song title and artist (taken from the MP3 ID3 tags). These code snippets can obviously be embedded into a web page.
Is anybody else doing anything similar or have any ideas on how I would go about it??
I'm wondering if it would be possible to pull in the song title and artist from Icecast and display them in a custom On Air block.
This way there would be valid meta data displayed on my drupal front end site whether the Auto-DJ was playing or a live show was taking place.
Cheers.
