Hello, VersaRadio is a new plugin that can retrieve meta data (song information and album covers when available) from the web. This is needed for web radios that don't include meta data within the audio stream but provide this information on its website. In addition to meta data (or instead), VersaRadio can associate specific icon for the streams you're listening.
You can see VersaRadio in action in the two images attached to this post. Right now, VersaRadio only has support for three radios, but adding new radios is rather easy. This easiness though needs some basic programming knowledge (perl and regular expressions). Before going in beta stage, I'd like to include support for new radios. If you're interested, I'll be glad either to include specific radio module you would have written for VersaRadio or if you don't have programming skills to write these new modules myself. For those interested in writing a module, you can take a look there: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54314 If you can't write module but would like support for a new radio, you can write me providing: 1. Name of the radio 2. url of the stream 3. good quality image for radio icon 4. url(s) where meta data for the stream is available (I can't promise I'll write a module for your radio, but I'll try... priority will be given to include fully written radio modules) In either case, you can write me at "robinsp+slimdevices ]a.t[ gmail.com". PS: VersaRadio took advantage of SqueezeCenter 7.3 new functions and will only work from this version of SC. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: versaradiosample2.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6164| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- vrobin ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrobin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11705 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54520 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
