For the adventurous, I've been having a play with adding live updating
text for the all the BBC radio channels - since RadioVis only provides
text information for Radio1 and 1xtra.
I've done this with regular http polling (every 30 seconds) of a URL
that is used by the official iPlayer app for its 'onair' information.
Although this isn't published as an official interface, it looks pretty
'open' to me and has been stable for two or more years, by the look of
it. I can't guarantee how long this will work for, but given the speed
at which the BBC are chopping and changing things, this is likely to be
as stable as anything.
As I've needed to touch a few files in the plugin, I'm just posting a
patch file at the moment. Sorry, this is for linux command line only for
now (or cygwin or similar in windows). Copy the file to the BBCiPlayer
plugin directory, cd to that directory and type:
Code:
--------------------
patch -p1 < BBCiPlayer-v1.3.1alpha3-Onair-v0.1.patch
--------------------
After restarting LMS check the settings - there is an extra one called
'Show OnAir Text' which needs checking, and the 'Show Live Text' needs
un-checking. 'Show Slide Show' will still work for displaying different
artwork (on those channels that already had RadioVis).
PS. I've also added top the menu.opml a couple of missing stations and
some icon links for those that didn't have one.
