GKIye Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hello, First of all to people who are new to streaming radio .. What is "improved content" ? This is visible when used with Windows Media Player 10 and higher It makes it possible to stream your content (music) and at the same time the listener can see in the "playing screen" for example your website, a message about specials etc First of all .. you have to make a seperated page who contains your message Notice that Improved Content don't work very well : - if there are any JavaScripts used (this can block or can give errors to the content) - if you use php and any other scripts different from htm or html you have to <p> Notice that both details above depends of the settings made into Windows Media Player by the user (listener) </p><p> </p><p> For the best result you can use a <strong>.wax file</strong> </p><p> <strong>Into the past .asx files</strong> could be used also to achieve the same result .. however these days almost all media players are recognizing also .asx </p><p> A .wax file is a source who is opening automated into Win Media Player </p><p> </p><p> An example is the file who is used at my project </p><p> <a href="http://www.gkradio.eu/GKRadioURL.wax" rel="external nofollow">http://www.gkradio.eu/GKRadioURL.wax</a> </p><p> At the improved content page you gonna see a smaller version of the main index page .. however listeners can use all tabs, they can also make their realtime requests, etc </p><p> So this is what you can call a real way of interactive internetradio </p><p> </p><p> You can make also a try-out to your station, feel free to post your results into this topic.</p><p> <strong>Please notice the attached FreeWax4You.rar file</strong>, this is a ready to use wax file - only change IP+port, name station, genre, htm or html page where needed </p><p> <strong>to make this changes</strong> = unzip rar file and open the wax file by using "notebloc" .. you may change the name of the wax file into yours .. for example "YourName.wax" etc and upload this to your server / website</p><p> </p><p> Enjoy !!</p> Visit and listen @ BW !

James Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ive never heard of the .wax extension! That is brilliant, could you share the source? I like the wax website you have for it too Thanks GKREurope Studiio - All-In-One Radio Communication Platform SMS | Phone Calls | Social Media | Content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi James, In fact its very easy to get the .wax file .. right click the link "save as .." and change the content where needed by using "notebloc" Please keep in mind what I wrote into the topic on top, keep it simple and don't use javascripts, php or other who can give conflicts to Win MP .. regular html works out very good Did you made a try-out of the interactive tools on the page ? Strange that a wax file isn't known at your place. Its a type of file to open automated Windows Media Player also known as "a shortcut to Windows Media Audio", and its very often used at streaming projects into Europe The content of the file can be also the source of a videostream, at that time you have to delete all content who reference to So at that time you don't need anymore the tags to the improved content could you share the source?

James Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Ok, well for those people who dont know how to get the source, here it is ENTER_TITLE ENTER_TITLE ENTER_YOUR_COPYRIGHT ENTER_AUTHOR ENTER_SUBTITLE Replace the places in CAPITALS.

alexr Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 What is the difference between this and a regular ASX file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Indeed James ... but the content of it is similar to a regular asx file Those who wanna use it needs still the ".wax" file For this reason I made a ready to use .wax file attached into the rar file Change by using "notebloc" all content to your own details, please notice into the section the space after <copyright> etc etc </copyright> this is important to achieve a right view into Media Player Enjoy !

KRISISDnB-DJMX Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Love this and really want to implement it on my site. However ive hit the dreaded mime type problem (i think) that I had when I first implemented my site with .pls .asx and .ram files 2 years ago. My .htaccess file did look like : Order Deny,Allow AddType application/octet-stream .asx .pls Ive tried changing it to be : Order Deny,Allow AddType application/octet-stream .asx .pls AddType audio/x-ms-wax .wax I found the .wax code on a website but it just opens the .wax file in the browser window instead of launching windows media player. The .asx and .pls files work fine so im at a bit of a loss for what to do. Any help would be appreciated Malcs (DJMX) KRISISDnB.COM MANAGEMENT AND PROMOTIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
