Now Playing...

[unnradio]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to RadioBoss and am wondering if it is possible to output a text file with following format (via the nowplaying.txt file???):

One line per event Tilde (~) delimited.

[$CAT]~[$ARTIST]~[$TITLE]~[$ALBUM]~[$LABEL]~[$DURATION]

$CAT = Type or category (i.e. Song, Commercial, Liner, Jingle, PSA, or Voice track)
$ARTIST = Artist name of the song/event currently playing
$TITLE = Title of the song/event currently playing
$ALBUM = Album that the song currently playing was released on
$LABEL = Label that the album was released on
$DURATION = Duration of the song playing in seconds or in 00:00:00 (Hours:Minutes:Seconds)

Apparently SAM is able to do this, but I'd really like to stick with RadioBoss

Thanks in advance!

I suppose you want to parse the file to extract the fields?If so, I think it will be better to use XML nowplaying format - it will have all that information included.

Currently there's no way to change the format used for TXT export.

Is it possible to save a local copy of the XML file?

 

[djsoft]

Yes, you can select the path in Settings->Reports

Cool... we're getting closer 

Now, is it possible to modify the XML template to present the fields exactly like this example?

SONG~Roy Rodgers~Home on the Range~Songs of the Old West~Universal Special Products~155

Thanks again!

XML structure is not like this... Where do you use this (SONG~Roy Rodgers~Home on the Range~Songs of the Old West~Universal Special Products~155) string? If it's for web site, you can use XML there.

Thanks for your reply 

Is it possible to add a 'category' field ahead of the 'track artist' field?

Well, it's not that easy Track management in RadioBOSS is not based on categories. Which means there's no "Category" we can include in the Now Playing info.
