get for radio song name

[papam77]

Hello, How can get song name from radio? I saw it on some servers, so it is possible.

This radio is already giving the song name to mp3 players in PC but i need to get song name in a game. So how?

Radio:

http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=18 ... 0(Top%2040)&file=181-power.pls

And how can use it if is it online radio? Give me an example please

[Zango]

local sound_Radio = playSound ('http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-power&style=&description=Power%20181%20(Top%2040')  
  
function outputSoundMeta (sound) 
    local tTags = getSoundMetaTags (sound_Radio) 
    if tTags then 
        for tag, value in pairs (tTags) do 
            outputChatBox (string.format('Artist: %s | Title: %s', tag, value)) 
        end 
         
        return true 
    end 
     
    return false 
end 
addCommandHandler ("soundinfo", outputSoundMeta) 

This code will reveal that audio streams take use of stream_name as radio station title and stream_title as the currently playing data, which you want.

Assuming this radio has formatted their songs consistently, you could use " - " to identify the track artist and title, respectively.

And when radio change the song?

[Zango]

onClientSoundChangedMeta

function onClientSoundChangedMeta (streamTitle) 
    if streamTitle then 
        outputChatBox (streamTitle) 
    end 
     
    return true 
end 
addEventHandler ('onClientSoundChangedMeta', sound_Radio, onClientSoundChangedMeta) 

[papam77]

function startMusic() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
    song = playSound("http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-power&style=&description=Power%20181%20(Top%2040)&file=181-power.pls") 
end 
  
function makeRadioStayOff() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
    cancelEvent() 
end 
  
function outputSoundMeta (sound) 
    local tTags = getSoundMetaTags (song) 
    if tTags then 
        for tag, value in pairs (tTags) do 
            outputChatBox (string.format('Artist: %s | Title: %s', tag, value)) 
        end 
        
        return true 
    end 
    
    return false 
end 
addCommandHandler ("soundinfo", outputSoundMeta) 
  
  
function onClientSoundChangedMeta (streamTitle) 
    local tTags = getSoundMetaTags (song) 
    if tTags then 
        for tag, value in pairs (tTags) do 
        outputChatBox (string.format('Artist: %s | Title: %s', tag, value)) 
    end 
    end 
    
    return true 
end 
addEventHandler ('onClientSoundChangedMeta', song, onClientSoundChangedMeta) 
  
  
  
  
  
function toggleSong() 
    if not songOff then 
        setSoundVolume(song,0) 
        songOff = true 
        outputChatBox("#ffffffRadio state = #ff0000OFF", 255,255,255, true ) 
        removeEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
    else 
        setSoundVolume(song,1) 
        songOff = false 
        setRadioChannel(0) 
        outputChatBox("#ffffffRadio state = #00ff00ON", 255,255,255, true ) 
        addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),startMusic) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVehicleEnter",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
addCommandHandler("musicmusic",toggleSong) 
bindKey("F10","down","musicmusic") 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStop",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),startMusic) 

I edited it a bit and what's the problem? Why it doesn't show the song name when song get changed?

[Zango]

You are trying to bind onClientSoundChangedMeta to "song" which isn't initialised yet.

Move the addEventHandler below song = playSound

[papam77]

Below?

Like this?

function startMusic() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
    song = playSound("http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-power&style=&description=Power%20181%20(Top%2040)&file=181-power.pls") 
end 
addEventHandler ('onClientSoundChangedMeta', song, onClientSoundChangedMeta) 
  
function makeRadioStayOff() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
    cancelEvent() 
end 
  
function outputSoundMeta (sound) 
    local tTags = getSoundMetaTags (song) 
    if tTags then 
        for tag, value in pairs (tTags) do 
            outputChatBox (string.format('Artist: %s | Title: %s', tag, value)) 
        end 
        
        return true 
    end 
    
    return false 
end 
addCommandHandler ("soundinfo", outputSoundMeta) 
  
  
function onClientSoundChangedMeta (streamTitle) 
    local tTags = getSoundMetaTags (song) 
    if tTags then 
        for tag, value in pairs (tTags) do 
        outputChatBox (string.format('Artist: %s | Title: %s', tag, value)) 
    end 
    end 
    
    return true 
end 
  
  
  
  
  
function toggleSong() 
    if not songOff then 
        setSoundVolume(song,0) 
        songOff = true 
        outputChatBox("#ffffffRadio state = #ff0000OFF", 255,255,255, true ) 
        removeEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
    else 
        setSoundVolume(song,1) 
        songOff = false 
        setRadioChannel(0) 
        outputChatBox("#ffffffRadio state = #00ff00ON", 255,255,255, true ) 
        addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),startMusic) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVehicleEnter",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
addCommandHandler("musicmusic",toggleSong) 
bindKey("F10","down","musicmusic") 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStop",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),startMusic)

When MTA loads a script, Lua checks for syntax errors and declares all variables and functions.

If you place something outside a function, it's called in this process.

But this stuff takes place before onClientResourceStart - which is the point where everything is ready.

You need to move it into the function startMusic, at the bottom.

Ah now it works Thank you

[papam77]

But there's problem if is song called somebody ft. somebody it looks like somebody f/somebody.

Why?

[Zango]

The data returned has nothing to do with MTA.

If you open the stream yourself, you'll find that it looks like that as well. It's how they chose to broadcast the songs on their radio.

[Dealman]

Every streamed file will return different values, it depends on whether the author set the tags properly or not. Some use the tags as means of advertisement and others have them set up properly.

Also for internet radios, you might have to use stream_name and stream_title instead of artist/title. Feel free to check out my Radio(Link in signature) for code example on how to achieve this.

[papam77]

And is possible to do something like

  
local ft = outputChatBox() 
  
if ( ft == f/ ) then 
-- ??? 
end 
  

And change it, but dunno how.

[Zango]

You can use a function such as string.gsub to search for "f/" and replace it with "ft. ".

function formatTrackTitle (strTitle) 
    return strTitle:gsub ('f/', 'ft. ') 
end 

[papam77]

  
function startMusic() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
    song = playSound("http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-power&style=&description=Power%20181%20(Top%2040)&file=181-power.pls") 
    addEventHandler ('onClientSoundChangedMeta', song, onClientSoundChangedMeta) 
end 
  
  
function makeRadioStayOff() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
    cancelEvent() 
end 
  
function onClientSoundChangedMeta (streamTitle, strTitle) 
    local tTags = getSoundMetaTags (song) 
    local c = 255,255,255,true 
    if tTags then 
        for tag, value in pairs (tTags) do 
        outputChatBox (string.format('#ffffffArtist: %s | Title: %s',tag, value),255,255,255,true) 
    end 
           return strTitle:gsub ('f/', 'ft. ') 
          end 
    return true 
end 
  
  
  
  
  
function toggleSong() 
    if not songOff then 
        setSoundVolume(song,0) 
        songOff = true 
        outputChatBox("#ffffffRadio state = #ff0000OFF", 255,255,255, true ) 
        removeEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
    else 
        setSoundVolume(song,1) 
        songOff = false 
        setRadioChannel(0) 
        outputChatBox("#ffffffRadio state = #00ff00ON", 255,255,255, true ) 
        addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
    end 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),startMusic) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVehicleEnter",getRootElement(),makeRadioStayOff) 
addCommandHandler("musicmusic",toggleSong) 
bindKey("F10","down","musicmusic") 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStop",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),startMusic) 
  

Still f/somebody

[myonlake]

Because you're returning it as a value, which makes no sense as you are outputting the chatbox message before the return. Besides, you don't need to return any value at all.

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
        setRadioChannel(0) 
        song = playSound("http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-power&style=&description=Power%20181%20(Top%2040)&file=181-power.pls") 
        addEventHandler("onClientSoundChangedMeta", song, onClientSoundChangedMeta) 
        bindKey("F10", "down", "musicmusic") 
    end 
) 
  
function makeRadioStayOff() 
    setRadioChannel(0) 
    cancelEvent() 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch", root, makeRadioStayOff) 
addEventHandler("onClientPlayerVehicleEnter", root, makeRadioStayOff) 
  
function onClientSoundChangedMeta(streamTitle) 
    local tTags = getSoundMetaTags(source) 
    if (tTags) then 
        for tag,value in pairs(tTags) do 
            outputChatBox(string.gsub(string.format('#ffffffArtist: %s | Title: %s', tag, value), "f/", "ft. "), 255, 255, 255, true) 
        end 
    end 
end 
  
addCommandHandler("musicmusic", 
    function(cmd) 
        if (not songOff) then 
            setSoundVolume(song, 0) 
            songOff = true 
            outputChatBox("#ffffffRadio state = #ff0000OFF", 255, 255, 255, true) 
            removeEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch", root, makeRadioStayOff) 
        else 
            setSoundVolume(song, 1) 
            songOff = false 
            setRadioChannel(0) 
            outputChatBox("#ffffffRadio state = #00ff00ON", 255, 255, 255, true) 
            addEventHandler("onClientPlayerRadioSwitch", root, makeRadioStayOff) 
        end 
    end 
)
