johny c Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 This might be a hard one or easy to some people. Can you get Windows media player or Winamp to show a now playing php file in its window, (like they show ads in the window). I want it to show what the last few tracks that have played. How do I put this info into a .asx file. Heres the page. http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~soundwiz/Now%20Playing.html Thanks RAG-FM 107.7 Raglan New Zealand & ragfm.com ........"Top Music Top of the Dial" Click HERE to listen to the RAG-FM radio stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi Johny, First of all you'll find a ".wax" file attached to this reply. Its ready to use .. and it works ... BUT : the sound you'll hear is my stream source ... for reason that not all Win Media Players support the AAC+ codex To users who have a AAC+ setup, their WMP gonna recognize the codex, to those who use a standard WMP it don't gonna work How do I put this info into a .asx file. Heres the page. http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~soundwiz/Now%20Playing.html Thanks Operational the current .wax file works fine and shows your "current playing" ... however I see into the html several Javascripts. For reason that your php page is made as iframe into your html you don't need the Javascripts written into that page aka source code. Secondly if a .wax file is used Javascripts can give conflicts to the visible content of what "has" to be seen into the WMP screen. Important to know is that a .wax file opens WMP automatic even when other types of media players are installed on a pc of a listener ... An .asx can give also a command to for example WinAmp ... a .wax don't (so its WMP only) So far I don't have any knowledge to do the same if used into WinAmp I hope other members can point you into the right direction (concerning WinAmp) Hope this was usefull PS: unzip the .rar file, open the .wax file with WMP, to change the content of this .wax example "right click" and open with "notebloc" Good luck !

johny c Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 My idea dosnt seem to work. Media player need to auto refresh the web page so updated tracks in the nowplaying show.

BWorld Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 If you use a meta refresh every minute or so this should take care of the issue: To change the amount of time between refreshes, update the number 40. This is going to be the easiest for you to implement. ██ Stream101 | Affordable Media Solutions ██ Shared cPanel?

GKIye Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 RAG-FM 107.7 Just as an inquiry to you : a refresh every 20 seconds is very fast set your value to 59 and you gonna achieve a very nice result PS : Did you checked out the .wax file that I prepared for you ?
