Doesn't display song titles correctly about deefuzzer HOT 16 CLOSED

It is very difficult to detect whether a char is ISO or UTF out of the box. So there are indeed some issues with ISO chars... But we will try to fix that, maybe using chardet : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/chardet

Good to hear, hopefully soon enough :)

By the way, I have a side question, both "artist" and "title" are shown in a "Title" column of media player .. is there a way to use proper field/column? Or is it an Icecast issue?

from deefuzzer.

Yes Icecast has a unique field for song info :-/

from deefuzzer.

Managing char coding is hard an painful, so I need some more tests / hacks on this on various languages.

from deefuzzer.

Icecast metadata can have more than just title, but the output in the status XSLT files in the default install does not send them out. You can modify the files to do that. The extra metadata does get communicated on the stream I believe.

from deefuzzer.

With clementine I have artist and song title in 2 fields because clementine split " - " in metadata info. You can do it on your player (I think it's less difficult to edit player instead of icecast).

from deefuzzer.

In most cases, it would be easier to edit your player. I've written a new status-json2.xsl file for my install of Icecast2 that exports key stream information as a JSON object. It either uses artist and/or song fields, or auto-splits the title field automatically.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"><xsl:output indent="no" omit-xml-declaration="yes" method="text" encoding="UTF-8" media-type="application/json"/><xsl:template match="/icestats">{<xsl:for-each select="source"><xsl:if test="position()>1">,</xsl:if>"<xsl:value-of select="translate(@mount,'/','')" />":{"play":{"M3U":"<xsl:value-of select="@mount" />.m3u","XSPF":"<xsl:value-of select="@mount" />.xspf"},"name":"<xsl:value-of select="server_name" />","description":"<xsl:value-of select="server_description" />","type":"<xsl:value-of select="server_type" />","bitrate":"<xsl:value-of select="bitrate" />","listeners":{"current":"<xsl:value-of select="listeners" />","peak":"<xsl:value-of select="listener_peak" />","max":"<xsl:value-of select="max_listeners" />"},"nowplaying":{"artist":"<xsl:choose><xsl:when test="artist"><xsl:value-of select="artist" /></xsl:when><xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select='substring-before(title," - ")' /></xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose>","title":"<xsl:choose><xsl:when test="artist"><xsl:value-of select="title" /></xsl:when><xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select='substring-after(title," - ")' /></xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose>"}}</xsl:for-each>}</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

It's a bit of a run-on sentence to make sure there's no unexpected newlines (which break certain JSON interpreters). Here it is broken out (if you copy from below, make sure to remove any newlines and extra spaces before using in production):

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output indent="no" omit-xml-declaration="yes" method="text" encoding="UTF-8" media-type="application/json"/>
<xsl:template match="/icestats">

  <xsl:for-each select="source">
  <xsl:if test="position()>1">,</xsl:if>
  "<xsl:value-of select="translate(@mount,'/','')" />":{

Great! This should be the default setup in icecast :)

from deefuzzer.

Out of context (maybe your xsl can be a gist).

We can create "gist" for sharing code (ie: for config in /examples folder).
We can show all revision with gist instead of "comments".

Creating "gist" allow to have:

• yaml config 0.6.6 (revision 1)
• yaml config 0.7 (revision 2)

What do you think about that?

from deefuzzer.

Good point @ChoiZ
As explain in #20, icecast mountpoints should be configured with UTF8 to allow special chars.

from deefuzzer.

I've added this code to the wiki.

from deefuzzer.

Good to have started the wiki. As I wanted to simplify the README, I've put you doc about station folders also in the wiki. Tell me if you are OK with that.

from deefuzzer.

I'll check that. For @achbed icecast's config we must add icecast minimum version. (status-json2.xsl is implemented since 1 year in my memory).

from deefuzzer.

For station folder doc, I think we have to create a "real" configuration and define:

• stationfolder.folder : /home/deefuzzer
• a real shortname MyStation
• a name MyStation (what diference between name and shortname? limited char on shortname?).
• a gender pop, rock…
• a media.dir mp3 (if I understand this path is concat(stationfolder.folder + media.dir)? so equal to /home/deefuzzer/mp3?)

from deefuzzer.

Yes @ChoiZ you are welcome to add any more examples to the doc / wiki ;)

from deefuzzer.

Ok so I need an answer for "media.dir".
