Plugin Description
Yes, it’s yet another “currently playing” plugin. What makes this one
better (or, at least, different)?
-
Support for MPD
-
Support for others is possible and possibly easy – see below.
-
No file transfer — WordPress is updated via HTTP POST.
-
Updater should work on Linux/BSD, OSX, and Windows.
SG What’s Playing (SGWP from now on) is comes in two components: the
WordPress plugin, and a Python program
(sgwpupdate.py) that reads data from the player and POSTs it to the
blog.
The sgwpupdate.py program can be run as a one-shot or, on Unix-like
systems, as a daemon. In one-shot mode, you can specify song details
rather than reading them from the player. Thus, if your player can
trigger a program on song or status change (e.g. Audacious, WinAMP (I
think!)), you can probably use sgwpupdate.py to update your
WordPress blog.
In daemon mode, sgwpupdate.py uses a player-specific module to
obtain the song meta-data from the player and then sends the data to
your WordPress blog. At present, the only included module is for MPD,
but writing modules for other players shouldn’t be too difficult. See
the “Custom Player Modules” section below.
