Re: [Savonet-users] Get current song

[Romain B. <to...@ra...>]

	Hi all !

The two solutions mentioned by Bede are valid. I even believe we use the first 
one for dolebrai.

Additionally, you can also use the on_metadata operator. This operator will 
call a function that you specifiy, which can be in particular a call to an 
external script, when it see new metadata.

That way, you can register the latest metada in a database, for instance, and 
use it on the other computer in order to retreive the current song.
