Removing/changing the song title when changing to a live DJ

Postby Gavin » Wed 05th Dec, 2007 7:48 pm

You can easily remove or change the song title that is displayed when changing for AutoDJ to a live stream, for example.

To clear the song title:

http://[SERVER IP]:[PORT]/admin.cgi?pass=[PASSWORD]&mode=updinfo&song=%20

To change the song title:

http://[SERVER IP]: [PORT]/admin.cgi?pass=[PASSWORD]&mode=updinfo&song=Put your show name here

Simply change the following

[SERVER IP]
[PORT]
[PASSWORD] - the password that you use for streaming

You will get a "Page cannot be displayed" error as if there is no page there but it will change the title.

I'll update this post with a script that allows you to change the title more easily at some point.

If you have an AutoDJ account, when you log in as a DJ, the title will automatically be wiped clean when the DJ stops the AutoDJ server. I'm also going to extend this to the main admin pages, with an option to change the title to anything you like when stopping the AutoDJ.

This should all be available ove the next week or so along with more advanced scheduling.

Hi this is useful information to know. I have a question though. Well something I'm looking to solve.

I would like to update my stream title based on whats entered in a txt file located on my site

Let me explain. If the txt file states "biggus" then the stream title will be updated with "DJ Biggus Live" and so on

At the moment when a DJ connects there update the song title manually and I would like to automate this.

Would I use something like a if statment in php?

If I just want to clear the song title, or broadcast the DJ name / show that's currently on, I've created an mp3 that's litterally about 4 seconds of silence. The ID3 tag has the DJ / Show info, which is easily changed when needed.

May seem like a cheap trick, but it's always done well for me. And it gives you a couple more seconds to make sure you've hit stop on your music :p
