    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=1:1jugmesy]dsp_title_output.zip[/attachment:1jugmesy]

    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,

    Fantatstic !!! I can’t believe it !! You ROCK Leif!
    I set this up as soon as I saw your post, and it’s working perfectly 😀

    I did need to remove stuff at the front of the stream, however the other one was cutting off 7 letters of the title, so I just commented it back out. Might be something to do with trial vs. registered…not sure, but who cares!

    Thanks Again for such a great product and over the top support!!

    110% agree with the above comments from Riplee. If you dont want to save the outputs to a text file, you can also use the Grab Metadata from window title feature in Edcast, the window class is scwin, not forgetting to fill out the truncate everything before and after boxes…. 😉

    You’re most welcome, Riplee, and thank you for the compliment 🙂.

    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.
