GKIye Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 First of all welcome to BW I had the same issues ... but I solved them with some help of fellow BW members (notice : currently I don't have a Twitter account = to much spam etc ... ) Please visit this BW link : http://forums.broadcastingworld.net/showthread.php?t=7851&page=2 and scroll down untill the end of the page and read my reply At that reply you gonna find all details "and" the files you need to upload at your webserver aka website Notice : it don't work on Win Server2003 I know its easier if used as PAL to SAM, but I don't used it that way Concerning the twitter.php : the directory and files has to be uploaded to your website and to get them operational you have to leave your browser open who connects to the twitter.php page at your webserver Hope this was usefull Feedback is welcome ... and good luck ;) Visit and listen @ BW !

busby Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks for the reply, and welcome It seems to sort of work in that if I refresh the twittercast.php page it will post to twitter, but its not really a solution having to do that all the time, or have I missed something?

GKIye Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Yes ... I agree .. its "a" solution ... it ain't "the" solution for reason that you have to leave your browser open to keep it operational About the refresh tool : the script has an automatic refresh time I think about every minute untill 1min30' Open one of the pages and look at the top of the notebloc ... You can change the refresh if needed to an other value As We all know ... internet and scripts are great .. but not always that perfect Thanks for your reply and all the best !

busby Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Thanks GKREurope, it seems to have been omitted from the script I downloaded, however I have copied the refresh code from another script.. Did I read somewhere that you can use SAM's built in ftp to change the page when the song changes?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKIye Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 I don't know about that Did I read somewhere that you can use SAM's built in ftp to change the page when the song changes?. Interesting to know is that the update at Twitter isn't made if there is no "new" data available Example : If you have a track who plays 5 minutes The refresh gonna work automatic every 1min30' ... however the script only gets new data at the end of the 5 minute track and gonna be updated at Twitter at the 6th minute Hope this was usefull Visit and listen @ BW !
