<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Further to my request last week, I am providing an update as I have completed the implementation of this functionality.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Steps: <o:p></o:p></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"> Write a cut down file for each stream to the web directory in Icecast.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">The file is not CSV. Each record is separated with a semi colon. This is because the track names can have commas.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">I’m only saving the last 10 lines.
<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">Using the system.web and system.net.io namespaces in .net core, I’m reading the CSV file over HTTPS. Icecast on this server is listening over HTTPS. It’s a requirement as mixing
HTTP with HTTPS isn’t supported in my configuration. <o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">I then separate out the path and the file name to give me the artist, album and track name. I pass this as a list from the controller using a strongly typed view.
<o:p></o:p></li></ol>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thinking back, it probably would have been easier to do this with Javascript. But I am more comfortable with C# over Javascript.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some day, I should really document this solution. There are so many scripts handling the automation of this, if I ever tried to get someone else to maintain the streams, it would be hard for them to work out the various flows. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An example is at <a href="http://www.ceol.fm/NowPlaying">www.ceol.fm/NowPlaying</a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have written the playlist history to a file. It’s a CSV file that I store within /var/log/icecast2/
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But I’ve decided that I want to consume this file by an application on a different server. The different server is on the same network.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m thinking. I could just add this text file into the Icecast2 web directory and get it via HTTP to use by the other application.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But before I start working on this, are there any other methods any of you have used to provide the playlist history to the world?
<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
