![]() This is configurable via the preferences option highlighted above (default on) and will set title (episode title), artist (feed name), genre (just set as ‘podcast’), year (using published date information) & comment (episode or feed description depending on what is available). Going back to something from early in Week 37 and based on a feedback response, I’ve added the ability with the podcast handling to auto-fill in the tags based on the feed and episode information for those fields not set. Good thing I can now correct that with my #winamp update project :) /fMNIWI176F If only everyone creating #podcasts cared about providing metadata tags. ![]() So the end result is making a libcurl.dll for WACUP which allows for it to be more easily shared around (depending on how things progress). As I’ve in mind making more use of it to do networking instead of using the existing jnetlib (which as covered months back doesn’t do HTTPS or more recent web technologies correctly or at all). Related to getting tweeting working, I decided to use twitcurl which relies upon libcurl (something I’ve previously used). But the main thing is that it’s now in and works though am sure I’ll need to do some tweaking of it once it’s available to test. The main pain was dealing with the authorisation aspect and getting the preferences UI to transition between the different steps involved (as you need to enter your details, then enter an access pin and then hope it’s all correct :) ). Overall even with eventually finding a usable library to add this support it’s taken a bit longer to get done and working nicely than I’d expected it to take. Since the tweet I put up about this, I’ve improved the handling so it now makes an attempt to warn from the preview if the tweet will be over size by changing the text colour of the group header in addition to just showing the character count. So by shifting it to Winamp it should a) be more reliable and b) give better control over what is posted.Īs can be seen from the screenshot above, it’s making use of Winamp’s ATF (advanced text formatting) support which makes it easy to use the metadata from the current file whilst still being able to add in normal text. The main thing done has been getting the bits needed to allow for tweeting what is currently playing in Winamp and was based on a recent user request to try to get around issues with the service that they’re currently using. ![]() So without holding you up any more, lets get on with the update for the last two weeks… ![]() For those following my intermediate updates on twitter then you’ll already know some of the things that will be covered in this combined update (which was started on monday but things got in the way so I’ve decided to combine in week 38 as well since i’m not likely to do much else this weekend). ![]()
