Displaying Netradio information to Main Menu / VAPANEL?

[reefboy]

Is it possible to display the information from Netradio (Artist / song / etc) to the main menu or vapanel? It is already great, but with this little extra tidbit it would be the icing on the cake, the cherry on the ice cream Sunday, you get the pictures. Or is this already being done?

Just off dreaming in GBPVR land....

or even just the music panel? or does that have to hook into a id3 tag for it's info?

I believe in the next release of GBPVR sub will provide this information from netradio stations, in which case it should just start working all on its own.

I just started using VA Panel with 95.15 and noticed that with NetRadio playing you do get program information, but strangely you also set the name of the main recorded video directory.

Also is it possible to control the positioning of display elements in VA Panel? In the new skin "Contour" the label "VA Panel is aligned with the left margin of the display area but the individual items that VA Panel is displaying are indented several dozen pixels --- I'd like to move them to the left margin also but haven't found the place where the positioning is defined for VA Panel elements.

Thanks

all the elements of the VA panel can be changed from the va xml file in the panels directory of whatever skin you're using. the menu skin as i understand it just sets the size and position for everything you did in the panel itself

That's odd. I looked in there but nothing jumped out at me. I'll have anther go at it.

Thanks

This was a bug. Netradio creates a file for the audio stream in the root recordings directory and that is why the recordings directory was being displayed. An updated MusicVAPanelWidget is attached.

Jeff:

Archive appears to be damaged, won't open.

This seems to always happen with zip files when downloaded with IE. You can either use another browser or open it with winrar. I just tried it with Firefox and it worked fine.

The panel is pulling NetRadio info just fine with this file update (THANKS!), but VA Panel is cutting off the last 4 characters of any netradio song it displays.

Has anyone else seen this? Can you think of where it might be coming from?

Thanks
