Streaming Radio

I've been trying to get Embeded Radio working with ULX motd. Anyone have any thoughts? IFrame just destroyed GMod.

Source html interpreter is pretty finicky, as you're learning. I'm pretty sure it wasn't meant to be used for all the stuff Garry and other developers have pushed it to do.

You might try this link to see how the media player would have to be embedded in whatever page is loaded.

I'm not sure how it would work in latest html code/gmod offereings though, but it was the only method that could be used in Gmod9 days.
Probably not so different now.

Good luck

Well i got it working quite nicely with that code if anyone else is intrested in it. Problem is you can't hide the MOTD to actually play while listening to the music without killing the player. Anyone have any ideas?

Code: [Select]
<OBJECT ID="MediaPlayer1" CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95" CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab# Version=5,1,52,701" STANDBY="Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components..." TYPE="application/x-oleobject" width="280" height="46">
<param name="fileName" value="http://willswc.isa-geek.com:8005/;stream.nsv&">
<param name="animationatStart" value="true">
<param name="transparentatStart" value="true">
<param name="autoStart" value="false">
<param name="showControls" value="true">
<param name="Volume" value="-300">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/" src="http://willswc.isa-geek.com:8005/;stream.nsv&" name="MediaPlayer1" width=280 height=46 autostart=0 showcontrols=1 volume=-300>
</OBJECT>

I think the old Gmod9 URadio used to just 'hide' the motd window. Kind of like minimizing it.
I suggest looking into Garry's HTML implimentation in his wiki.

Though a nice feature to revive, I've personally lost any interest in redoing it. I still have a project of my own I'd love to take off the back burner.

The trick is to figure out how to "hide" the motd. >.<

I'm sure that's very important but any idea how i should apply that for a "Non"-Lua coder?

Instead of destroying the motd on exit, just hide it.

So basically I'd replace
Code: [Select]
button.DoClick = function() window:Close() endWith...? I tried replacing it with a few different commands but none of the actually worked. >.<

Been a long time since I've looked at the motd code, but perhaps

button.DoClick = function() window:SetVisible( false ) end

Tried that?

You would have to make the "ulx motd" command call SetVisible( true ) after the first time rather than creating a new panel as well.

Code: [Select]
button.DoClick = function() window:SetVisible( false ) endThat worked Perfectly. Though, spbogie is obviousally correct that it needs to SetVisable True after the first time. Problem is being a novice lua coder I have absoutly no idea what I need to do for this. Any thoughts? (And once I'm done I'll make up a Tutorial for anyone else who needs help.)

Go to addons\ulx\lua\ulx\modules\cl\motdmenu.lua

Search for:
Code: [Select]
button.DoClick = function() window:Close() end
Replace with:
Code: [Select]
button.DoClick = function() window:SetVisible( false ) end
When the window opens it is already set to use SetVisible (true)

Sorry for bringing up such a old topic, but it has to be completed for people like me who got 1 part of the problem solved, but not the other.

The MOTD solution works great, only how do I make a previously closed window visible again, because I/the rest of the server can't close the stream. Just creates another window when typing !motd, which will open the radio again with very anoying results.

I've looked into other solutions like the 1.fm mod or uRadio but it either didn't work or had to much bugs in it.

Can you guys help me out ;D
