This script was created so I can display various information to my BBS users about my shoutcast radio stream.
This BBS section includes a shoutcast dashboard with station information obtained via RSS/XML. The display includes listener peak, current song playing, next song to play, stream status, stream URL and other pertinent information for the BBS user to see.
After the dashboard is displayed, the script continues by showing the last 20 songs played on the station.
Useful things about this script:
- Fully configurable at the top of the script, Title, Stream URL, Cols, Rows etc.
- Contains simple code to grab XML/RSS feed and display on the BBS.
- Contains various functions to make it easy to display information in a correctly sized mystic bbs text based frame including titles and prompts.
This script can be a skeleton to get you going in writing your own properly fit modular text based python apps for Mystic BBS.
