hi guys - I recently installed the following script (now playing)
http://brandon.fuller.name/archives/hacks/nowplaying/itunes/mac/
It's fantastic but falls down in two key areas for what I need from it
1) Plugin sends track info to the XML feed immediately - even if track has only been played for a couple of seconds. I would like tracks to be sent to the feed only after a minute of play.
2) I have this installed on my machine at home and at the office. If the feed has been started at home and I start to play tracks at the office, the XML is immediately over-written. I want to avoid this, ie if the XML contains 6 sets of track info from music I've played at home the night before and I then start playing music at the office then the first track would simply be entry number seven.
The point of all this is to parse the feed and display the data on my site with the album artwork. Tried using the Last.fm plugin for this but sadly their artwork is often wrong and has other issues. So really, the Now Playing script is sooo close but these two issues stopit from being the solution I need. Have tried speaking with the script's creator but I think he's just too busy with other stuff to offer this kind of support. Can anyone help out with this?
