Streamerp2p Forum

Hey,
there is a new cool flash widget (default size 200x80 pixel) to display your station statistics on your website. It' easy to embed cause you only need to copy and paste the code to your pagesource and modify one parameter (your Streamer station ID). It auto refresh station info every 3 minutes.

Changelog: list of changes
Example page: http://www.streamerp2p.com/widget.html

There are two parameters:
required: ?id=<your_station_id>
replace <your_station_id> with your Streamer station id! You have to edit two lines of the code.
and
optional: &msg=<your_message>
replace <your_message> with your customized message to override the "now playing" info from the yp. You need it for example if your station has no metadata (no now playing info) and you want a nice message instead a empty field. You can dynamicly feed this widget from your playout system as well. Add the $msg= parameter directly after the station id.
and
Customizing background color of the widget
That's simple. Just replace all bgcolor values in the code example above (#cccccc values) and enter your page background color there. The applet has a transparent background and you can customize it to match your station layout.
and
Example Page:
Here you can see some examples. Look at the page source if you want:

Maybe you have to clear the browser cache once to see the new widget.

Freezing ie 7 when refresh at the same time of the song change.

Hi,
question:
Are the songnames displayed right on http://www.streamerp2p.com? Cause the widget is using the same data. If it's wrong there i can't do anything.
Else i have to embedd the fonts in the flash widget. All spanish, french, swedish etc. chars are not embedded and cause of this it's wrong or missing (maybe). Embedding fonts blows up widget filesize.

Freeze IE7:
Never saw it freezing. If widget requests data at the same time yp songinfo chages the data is incomplete. This normaly doesn't freeze the browser. Widget just displays it wrong. Cause flash is running in a sandbox it can't crash the Browser (or shuldn't).

Thanks for the feedback. Please tell me about issue 1 (chars).

That's what i mean:



The chars are already wrong in the yp data. Not a flash widget fault Seems streamer reports it wrong or yp breaks it. Something we have to check.

From your playlist:


You see it's already wrong before widget get's it. It's a general problem.

[Update]
Yes it's already wrong in streamer. Checked the yp log and yp already get it wrong from the clients.

Inside of streamer it's ok.
on the streamer yp the extended ascii are shown as square.
And on the Flash widget are not showing and cutting two more chars after.
Sábado à noite --> Sdo oite

Hi Achs,
finaly i fixed it. All chars should be correct now. Encoding of the yp is wrong. It's all stored in the database but it's not utf-8. I had to embedd charsets in flash also.

check you are using the lates widget. Clear browser cache once. New version has the version number v1.10

Latin Extended A + Latin-1 + Basic Latin
Afrikaans, Basque, Breton, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Esperanto, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, Flemish, French, Frisian, German, Greenlandic, Hungarian, Icelandic, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Provençal, Rhaeto-Romanic, Romanian, Romany, Sami, Slovak, Slovenian, Sorbian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, and Welsh.

Blows up flash widget from 22k to 38K. Still not all languages (would be about 270k). Maybe i should make a "asia version" containing asian charsets and a "arabic version" and a "russian version" and so

The other solution is to use system device fonts and system charset. That means for you it will look ok but for others the flash widget displays "strange" chars like on the yp at the moment. Embedding fonts/charsets means everyone can see the language specific chars.

Now i know why the yp is wrong even if page header says it's utf-8 codepage. Streamer reports data but it has to be utf-8 encoded before writing it to the database. It's a bug. Not sure if it's streamer delivering non utf-8 coded data or the scripts messing it up. It's not my code and i have to validate it first.

If i have time i'll check it maybe. It's a lot of work and i have a realworld fulltime job. Streamer is just a hobby

By the way: Today i had the widget running half the day in IE7 and never had a freeze. It's a bit strange you had a freeze. Whatever happens in flash shouldn't affect IE7.

neat::

Anyway to make the [play] ">" button functional or hide it from view // doesnt work here

d-tracks, Hey, this is great, man. Many thanks from KOKE.

Regards, Jim

On the test page the play button works for your station. Check your popup blocker as it opens streamerp2p:// links with target=" _blank".

There is no way to hide the play button. Station online: opens stream, station offline: no action

Tnxs alot D this work perfect haa and really good lookyng 1.10 jeje

Thanks LVR
Flash widget now displays your spanish chars if you have some in your track titles Thanks to ACHS who reminds me of it. Fixed YP as well. No "black boxes" instead language specific chars anymore

Good job d-tracks! Thank you!
About the freeze, maybe my system need a reinstall . Got the same error in the Google Chrome. It's the flash player plugin freezing
I can reproduce the problem reloading the page with the widget several times.

next project,

widget that can operate without dependancy on code from Macromedia.com

You need a runtime environment for everything. Nothing "just runs in browser" except html cause the runtime environment (html parser) is already included in the browser application Same sh!t, different wrapping And flash is really common nowadays. Look at all the "web2.0" pages like youtube.
