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.

It saves the POST entries now. Yay. With this working I'll be using this much more.  http://www.markheadrick.com/entertainment.shtml is what I've played with both Winamp and Wacup..

Thanks for all your work!

General Discussion / Re: What's your preference on keeping versions up-to-date ?

Well, I'm a software update control freak I guess. I opt out of all auto updates. (Windows, Browsers, Flash, WordPress, etc, etc.). 

Now, I do routinely check for updates (installed several Windows Updates today) and install them when I am ready to deal with the consequences and it gives me time to backup things before hand.

I am fine with something saying that an update is available, but I want to say when it actually installs that update.

I think the auto-update stuff is really meant those people that never bother to check for updates on their own.  I am OK with an auto update being the default. I just want to be aware of that fact and able to turn it off.

Cool. I've actually been working on a database to store the song's Winamp has played. I can then use this to display the song history.  Looking forward to this update.

Does seem a bit snappier than it has past few days.  I have a SMF forum myself and it seems to work fairly quick and doesn't use much memory.. around 5 mb with what I have installed. Wordpress uses 25-35mb of PHP memory.

Looks like the song length is working correctly now.

Code: [Select]

18-12-2016 - 18:33:55 - Soundtrack - "Basil Poledouris" - "Crystal Palace" - Conan The Destroyer - 1984 - 5 - 6:13 - 373 - 128 - (removed)\Music\MP3\Soundtrack\Basil Poledouris-Conan The Destroyer\Basil Poledouris - Conan The Destroyer - 05 - Crystal Palace.mp3 -
Now just looking forward to being able to execute a URL with song information attached to it.    Hmm, someway to know that Winamp started/stopped playing, attached to the start/stop events perhaps.

For me, playback and ripping would need to stay, and a new auto tagging ability.

I have Burned Audio CDs for my folks but can use Window Media Player for that or something else.

I use CDex a lot and it uses freedb.org for album lookups when ripping.  Another option.

I assume it's one of the RFC date formats that you'd want (based on what was in the earlier XML example). Just need to know which one and can look to get that added in.

Going with ATF and modifications of it may not be the ultimately best solution but for the most part it should suffice with it being a simpler way to access the metadata and custom data within how Winamp tends to want to work.

As long as the string can be converted with PHP using strtotime(); that's all I need. As it stands, it doesn't work.

Code: [Select]

<p>Time: <?= date('M/d/Y g:i:s A T',strtotime("13_11_2016 - 22:30:28")); ?></p>
Outputs: Time: Dec/31/1969 6:00:00 PM CST

Granted, since I know the format, I can programmatically create a string that will work with the function.   A string like "13-11-2016 22:30:28" does work.  So I could make the date be "%date% %time%" if date used dashes instead of underscores. Right now, in PHP I could just do a str_replace() to change "_" to "-".

Looks like the logging will grab just about everything I use:

Code: [Select]

13_11_2016 - 22:30:28 - Classical - "Royal Philharmonic Orchestra" - "Hooked on Classics, Part 3" - Hooked on Classics - 1981 - 3 - 6:00 - 362 - 128 - (removed)\Music\MP3\Classical\Royal Philharmonic Orchestra-Hooked on Classics\Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Hooked on Classics - 03 - Hooked on Classics, Part 3.mp3

Is the %length% just supposed to put the minutes? This song is 6:02.  The %length_seconds% looks correct though.  I'd program the date to look different but I just need to get it in some fashion.

Tying ATF formatting into this "ping" operation is fine.  Hmmm, close Winamp and it crashed. Sent the debug email.

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.
