Hey All,

I found this which is basically a rss feed of what BBC Radio 1 Is Now Playing! All I want is this on my PM. Before you ask/say I've already tried the RSSreader but it takes AGES to phase and eventually i have to cancel. Anybody help?

All I'd want it to do is say

Radio 1 Is Now Playing: [LATEST RSS ITEM HERE]

Thanks!

EDIT: Updated To A Better RSS Feed

The last update is 20 minutes behind Might have abash after jobs though

Yeah, I'll try and find a better feed!

EDIT: Here's A Better One

They're the same feed, as far as I can see

the rss feed seems to be an hour behind...

I dont think it would be worth it honestly :/

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/wm_asx/aod/radio1.asx

Use that link to play it in WMP and see if the artist/song show up in your PSM through the built in WLM function

code:

---

/*
*
*    BBC song from RSS
*    matty
*
*/

var sPsm;

function OnEvent_Initialize() {
    if (Messenger.MyStatus < STATUS_INVISIBLE) return false;
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('grabSong', 60000); // one minute
}


function createXml(url) {
    Interop.Call('wininet.dll', 'DeleteUrlCacheEntryW', url);
    xml = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM');
    xml.async = true;
   
    xml.load(url);
    return xml;
}

function OnEvent_Timer() {
    var xml = createXml('http://bbc-hackday.dyndns.org/tracks/radio1.rss');
   
    xml.onreadystatechange=function() {
        if (xml.readyState === 4)
            var newPsm = xml.selectSingleNode('//rss/channel/item/dc:creator').text+' - '+xml.selectSingleNode('//rss/channel/item/dc:title').text;
            Debug.Trace(newPsm);
            if (sPsm !== newPsm) {
                Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = newPsm;
                sPsm = newPsm;
            }
        xml = null;
    }
    MsgPlus.AddTimer('grabSong', 60000); // one minute
}

Matty, you should be aware that you have to declare your onreadystatechange event BEFORE you call xml.load(). So, either you simply place the contents of the createXml function in the timer event, or you add the callback function as a parameter to the createXml function and assign it to onreadystatechange in the createXml function.

I already explained this in Mattike's reply to XMLHTTP Not Loading After Save. The thing is that if you declare it after the load() function, there's a (small) chance that the asynchronous XML loading is faster than the process of the script.

code:

---

...

function createXml(url, funcReadyStateChange) {
    Interop.Call('wininet.dll', 'DeleteUrlCacheEntryW', url);
    xml = new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLDOM');
    xml.async = true;
    xml.onreadystatechange = funcReadyStateChange;
   
    xml.load(url);
    return xml;
}

function OnEvent_Timer() {
    var xml = createXml('http://bbc-hackday.dyndns.org/tracks/radio1.rss', function() {
        if (xml.readyState === 4)
            var newPsm = xml.selectSingleNode('//rss/channel/item/dc:creator').text+' - '+xml.selectSingleNode('//rss/channel/item/dc:title').text;
            Debug.Trace(newPsm);
            if (sPsm !== newPsm) {
                Messenger.MyPersonalMessage = newPsm;
                sPsm = newPsm;
            }
        xml = null;
    });

    MsgPlus.AddTimer('grabSong', 60000); // one minute
}
