I am using the files attached here to get the ots song data and I’m inserting it directly into the metadata section of edcast. It is working really well.
There are some items in my ots playlist that I would prefer not to be displayed. If I were to prefix the artist data with # is there some additional code I could put in the dsp_title_output.ini to prevent that item being displayed? Better still display some pre-determined static text, station name etc.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.

[quote author=”Leif”]Okay, I have a solution for title streaming with OTS!

I’ve written a Winamp DSP plugin whose only function is to write the name of the currently playing song to a file. 🙂

[attachment=1:3h753c4h]dsp_title_output.zip[/attachment:3h753c4h]

Unzip to C:OtsLabsWinampPlugins, and then load it into OTS as if it was shoutcast!

Check the ini file too. OTS doesn’t really behave like Winamp, and I couldn’t find where to customize the output, so I solved the problems programmatically instead.

;Songinfo_Output_Characters_To_Skip_After_Dot=13
…removes the tslabs.com/ mangled url from the beginning of the title.

;Songinfo_Output_Characters_To_Trim_At_End=7
..cleans up the {(C)s} garbage characters from the end. I have no idea what that was supposed to be, but I wouldn’t want it in my stream. 😉

Make sure to remove the semicolon from the beginning of the line, otherwise they won’t actually take effect. 🙂

Best,
