How can i get the current song of a streaming?

[Xavieret]

Hi everybody.

I'm a spanish developer, sorry I know that my english isn't good, and I have a little problem with a live radio web.

I have a web page where i have embed windows media. This object read a stream audio from http://s1.viastreaming.net:8000. The code is this one:

<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer" ...embed media code... </OBJECT>

I want to know how i can to get the current song. I try two solutions but, anyone run well. I don't know if the problem is mine.

The first solution is with a javascript function I try to get the info, but it don't run. This is the code:

function GetMedia()
{
var Media = document.getElementById("MediaPlayer").currentMedia;
// Test whether we have a valid Media object.
if(!Media)
{
divMetadata.innerHTML = "No current media.";
return;
}

// Retrieve the metadata we want to display.
var Title = Media.getItemInfo("Title");
var Artist = Media.getItemInfo("WM/AlbumArtist");
var AlbumTitle = Media.getItemInfo("WM/AlbumTitle");
var Duration = Media.durationString;

// Test the duration string value.
// Streaming media always returns zero.
if(Duration == "00:00")
{
Duration = "No duration available";
}

// Display the metadata in the DIV element.
divMetadata.innerHTML = "Title: " + Title + "<BR>";
divMetadata.innerHTML += "Artist: " + Artist + "<BR>";
divMetadata.innerHTML += "Album: " + AlbumTitle + "<BR>";
divMetadata.innerHTML += "Duration: " + Duration + "<BR>";
}

I call it when i push a button, but this solution doesn't work.

The other solution is this one, but I think that the problem is that the Administrator page of Shoutcast is protected. This code is in C# for an asp.net page:

protected string ObtenerWeb()
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://s1.viastreaming.net:8000");
// Lanzamos la peticion web
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

// Leemos los datos y los metemos en un string
Stream resStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader StreamRead = new StreamReader(resStream);
string Contenido = StreamRead.ReadToEnd().ToString();

return Contenido;
}

But this solution doesn't work too.

Please, Do you know how can I get info about the current song that's it's playing?

windows media player can't show the current song when it's used as an embedded player.
the player itself isn't capable of doing this.
you need a now playing script.

sorry, complaints can be send to Bill Gates.:)
