Question from a newbie
« on: April 18, 2003, 03:12:24 pm »
How would I go about displaying on a webpage what song is playing on Media Jukebox currently?

I posted this in the MJ8 forum before realizing version 9 was out... :-/

Just so people can see what I am listening to at the moment.  Silly thing, but something I want to do anyhow...

I've just been playing with the WebRemote plug-in, but only on my home lan behind a firewall.

You may be able to do something with that, but do you really want anyone from the internet connecting to your machine?

I wass moe thinking that if there was some way to gleen the title and artist of the track currently playing, I could use a PHP include to display it on my remotely hosted website.  So the remote user would not actually be tapping into my machine, just reading some html on a web page.

Well, there is the "listening to" button in MJ8 (and hope also in MC9) that copies the info of the song currently playing to the clipboard. Don't know if you can start from it...

Hmm, possibly.  I will have to take a look at that.  Was hoping for something more dynamic though.

You could do it be creating a display plug-in.  You can get the SDK from this page http://www.musicex.com/mediajukebox/developers.html.

I haven't done one of these but it looks like it would require Visual C++ or equivalent.  It would probably be a good learning experience if you haven't done anything similar before and have interest.
