Good morning,
Further to my request last week, I am providing an update as I have complet=
ed the implementation of this functionality.
Steps:
1. Write a cut down file for each stream to the web directory in Iceca=
st.
2. The file is not CSV. Each record is separated with a semi colon. Thi=
s is because the track names can have commas.
3. I'm only saving the last 10 lines.
4. Using the system.web and system.net.io namespaces in .net core, I'm r=
eading the CSV file over HTTPS. Icecast on this server is listening over =
HTTPS. It's a requirement as mixing HTTP with HTTPS isn't supported in my =
configuration.
5. I then separate out the path and the file name to give me the artist,=
album and track name. I pass this as a list from the controller using a st=
rongly typed view.
Thinking back, it probably would have been easier to do this with Javascrip=
t. But I am more comfortable with C# over Javascript.
Some day, I should really document this solution. There are so many scripts=
handling the automation of this, if I ever tried to get someone else to ma=
intain the streams, it would be hard for them to work out the various flows=
.
An example is at www.ceol.fm/NowPlaying<http://www.ceol.fm/NowPlaying>

Subject: [Icecast] Making the playlist history publically accessible.
I have written the playlist history to a file. It's a CSV file that I stor=
e within /var/log/icecast2/
But I've decided that I want to consume this file by an application on a di=
fferent server. The different server is on the same network.
I'm thinking. I could just add this text file into the Icecast2 web directo=
ry and get it via HTTP to use by the other application.
But before I start working on this, are there any other methods any of you =
have used to provide the playlist history to the world?
Thanks
Darragh
