Hello, I have created an Alpha version plugin on github to be able to enter the song request in our wordpress. At the moment it is very in the initial phase but I think that together we can create a plugin that is easy and useful for everyone to use.

GitHub - entured/Songs-Request: Plugin para buscar y solicitar canciones en Radioboss

Plugin para buscar y solicitar canciones en Radioboss - entured/Songs-Request

github.com

If someone is encouraged to lend a hand, do not hesitate.

I downloaded it and will check..... installes, but do not know how to implent it on website, read me is empty

 

[HMMMM]

I don't think it wll work for you unless your IP address is on the internet and can be accessing RB on your machine it might work if you hosted your website from your local machine but that is troublesome too

 

[HMMMM]

Does this not require RB to be on the internet you gave local Host $rb_server = '127.0.0.1'; //RadioBOSS hostname or IP

This IP address is an example, this needs to be changed to the actual IP address where RadioBOSS can be accessed.

 

[HMMMM]

Yes, but the protection services won't let a website access it without a lot of fabble and messing about with the settings more AM 64GB seems to like the new version running 7.0.10.9. Its looking good Dimitri lots improved upon.

I know there are some things which we would all like some not given interest in last two upgrades w are still hopeful you will change XML and add notifications to send notification after fTP XML still only contains.

No Image for current track the separate image upload causes the files to be read twice which is very wasteful time on server doubling its requirements. why cannot base 64 go in here too?

Is there a technical problem we are not aware of doing this.

We have already discussed it in another thread(s). This is only a problem with the server you use. If reading two files is a problem for it, it's is a good reason to change the server. Reading 2 files vs 1 is not a problem, it does not "double" any requirements.

I asked you if there was a technical reason why images in XML could it be provided as this has been asked for in two releases. I am wondering if there is a reason for not simply providing this simple solution. You ever provide a proper answer. I am still awaiting one. So, it's more understandable.

There's no point in including the artwork in the nowplaying file. It's simply saved separately. We won't be doing anything to solve the weird problems that some server has with reading a file, it does not make any sense.

 

[HMMMM]

Well, you are duplicating server time reading two files every 3 mins I am being told by my service this is too much. and causing my web site to fall over as it is using too many resources after 1 day and 1 half day. I presume this is an easy fix to drop it into XML as hex or image blob binary data object. It isn't a weird problem it is doubling the i/o which is not required. Why read XML then open a separate port read to read image.
You are doubling processing time at the server.

 

[HMMMM]

it causes the server to drop out and my website to go offline two days. beacuse they say it is doing too much processing. because of this double event on i/o

 

[HMMMM]

As I said these crashes my website and hods it not working two or more days. I will run this constantly and show you it not working http://deniserose.ezyro.com/music_now_playing.php after 2 or more days.

Good reason to change the service. It's not our problem to fix. Reading two files every three minutes is nothing. The limits they impose on you are ridiculous.

With this shortcode [song_request_form]

For me, no solution works. I also tried a wordpress plugin. It also gives a variety of errors, which everyone here has already read about. What is the solution or does it have to be more beautiful than space science? Using as always the latest Radioboss.

I wish there was a member here who could offer to help us out to set up the whole request system for our stations for a fee. Or ideally, the Radioboss team could refer us to someone they trust who would know how to do it. Because the whole song request set up process is so cumbersome and confusing (tried many times, gave up also) and I can't find anyone in my country who would even know where to begin with this system.

+1 I agree with you. A tedious and time-consuming exercise but no solution will work.

You can hire a freelancer for the job. Those scripts are very different depending on the needs and web site they are integrated into. The task is easy, and any decent freelancer should be capable of doing it within a couple of days. You can give them an example Song Request script from the first post of this topic as a starting point and describe what would you like to change.

Unfortunately we can't recommend anyone as people who we hire work with different jobs (bigger and more difficult tasks).

Because the whole song request set up process is so cumbersome and confusing (tried many times, gave up also) and I can't find anyone in my country who would even know where to begin with this system.

A working system already exists in RadioBOSS Cloud where you can simply copy-paste the code (song request widget) into your web site.

But integrating with a desktop software (RadioBOSS for Windows) is not that easy, as at first static IP problem must be solved and ports open and there is a number of other things must be solved that's why there's no universal solution.

+1 I agree with you. A tedious and time-consuming exercise but no solution will work.

This is not really RadioBOSS-related, it's more web site development, a different field. We offer the API and we also ready to answer any questions about it and maybe even add/extend existing commands to allow performing certain tasks.
