<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>I've

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=609360820-15112004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>*
Enable HTTP Event Adaptor in the "Config->Event Adaptors"
dialog.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>*
Restart SimpleCast to enable the server on port 8181.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=609360820-15112004></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>* Make
sure one of you encoders has "Enable title streaming" enabled in the
"Server Details" tab.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>*
Start streaming.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>*
Start listening to your own stream (to see if the info
changes).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>* Use
Internet Explorer to set the title/artists as follows (with Firefox it doesn't
work because for some reason it access the URL twice, clearing the info in the
second access)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>* <A
href="http://localhost:8181/update.html?artist=MyArtists&title=MyTitle&album=MyAlbum&duration=2:30">http://localhost:8181/update.html?artist=MyArtists&title=MyTitle&album=MyAlbum&duration=2:30</A></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>* I am
unsure about the format of the duration parameter, but both the album and
duration paramters are optional anyway, so if in doubt, leave them
out.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>You
should now be able to see the information change in the player that plays your
stream.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=609360820-15112004>To
automate this process you may find the 'wget' or 'curl' utilities useful. Google
for Unix and Windows versions of these tools.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am interested to know if you ever got an answer
to your question about 3rd party support for title streaming. Looks like some
of us are looking for an answer/software that doesn't seem to
exist...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I use Simplecast and the creators tend not to be
able to explain how to use the built-in event adaptors that (supposedly) do
this very thing. You might want to check it out ( <A
href="http://www.spacialaudio.com">http://www.spacialaudio.com</A> ), but
you may be on your own to implement the feature.</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial
