Name of the show

Very simple idea!
Drop-down/editable menu to choose appropriate name of the current radio show with ability to change it from scheduler + make an additional parameter out of it to send through http request.

You can already do that from the scheduler: check the "Use task name as broadcasting title" option in event properties.

Mmmm... this is not exactly what I want to achieve, because this method simply... prevents sending %artist (gosh...) and is also consequently pushing task name into %title (and so %casttitle). This also doesn't prevent the hypothetical %showname from changing when adding a file not generated by an event.
Moreover - by this way I can't by any means control metadata fed directly into the stream (I want it to be always receiving a simple %artist - %title metadata).

I even thought about writing a jquery/ajax/php (100% manual) script accesible by the built-in web browser, but I gave up after very first unsuccessful trials with jquery (gosh [2] - MSIE 7...).

I think a %showname variable can be added (so you can use it in HTTP requests and for metadata sent to the server). As well as scheduler command to set this variable value. Will it do?

OK, I've added it to the request list. Will be implemented in one of the next versions.
