Well I can pull the station name out of any of the JSON parameters as long as things are consistent. It does not -have- to specifically be remote_title. In the returned -playlist_loop-, paramaters such as title, artist and album should be self-explanatory but reality is that album often gets hijacked for e.g. a programme description. It's immaterial to me where I pluck the data from as long as it's consistent... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113045 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
