Implemented Requests / [IMPLEMENTED] v0.9.9.1430: Playtrack Suggestion: Add User Agent

« on: February 08, 2017, 09:18:47 PM »

Suggestion concerning the Playtrack Post operation. What about adding a User Agent related to Winamp or Wacup. Right now it's blank.

Most of my sites treat blank user agents as bad bots.  I'll see what the other one used. Will get back to you.

The other one used: Agent: NowPlaying/3.9.4.0

Just a thought.

Implemented Requests / [IMPLEMENTED] Play Tracking Suggestion

« on: November 12, 2016, 05:11:41 AM »

With the current Now Playing plugin and I am using (which is no longer maintained), it can do a variety of things.  You can get it from here: Brandon Fuller's Now Playing: A Winamp Plugin v3.9.4.0 One of them is sending a "Ping" where it will execute a given URL.



Basically, trying to get this to where I can make something similar to what I can do here: http://www.markheadrick.com/entertainment.shtml

This plugin will create an XML file of the last 10 songs and then upload it via FTP and my script that is called by this URL processes it.  I actually use this script to send out the tweet either automatically (auto=1) or manually from another script.  Anyway, if the current song's information could be sent with the script call via post or get variables then I can save the history on the server end in a database or something and skip the FTP thing.

Here's part of that XML file for reference:

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<now_playing playing="0" timestamp="2016-11-11T05:42:03-06:00">
    <song order="1" timestamp="2016-11-11T05:39:29-06:00">
        <title>Radar Rider</title>
        <artist>Riggs</artist>
        <album>Heavy Metal Soundtrack</album>
        <genre>Soundtrack</genre>
        <kind>mp3</kind>
        <track>9</track>
        <year>1981</year>
        <comments/>
        <time>166</time>
        <bitrate>128</bitrate>
        <disc>65531</disc>
        <playCount/>
        <compilation>No</compilation>
        <composer>Jerry Rigs/Marc Jordan</composer>
        <grouping/>
        <urlSource/>
        <file>C:\(removed)\Music\MP3\Soundtrack\Heavy Metal Soundtrack\Heavy Metal Soundtrack - 09 - Riggs - Radar Rider.mp3</file>
    </song>
I actually use the file path to know what album image to use.  This is one of the tweets I do with it: https://twitter.com/mrheadrick/status/794783927181463552

Anyway, wanted to put this out there.  I'm probably one of the only people that does this kind of thing so I understand if the priority to add this is low.

Thanks for all your work.
