Hi all

I manage a radio station that broadcasts and is received on the listeners TV’s. We also stream a display using Xibo. Ticker Tape, Clock and a zone for Jpegs, Gif on rotation. It’s a closed network, the Xibo machine is playout and server.

What I’d like to add is a playing now and playing next area to the screen. This will be fed by the metadata from our Radio Playout System called Station Playlist.

Has anyone come across a module that will allow me to do this? Or any ideas on how I could achieve this?

Thanks

Kev

Hi Kev,

It depends on how your Station Playlist is formatted, a RSS feed (ticker module) could be the answer, if not then perhaps a custom module to parse the contents of that Playlist file.
