Omega Radio Open Source

Hello all,

So yes, I'm new to the scripting forum... I've been playing with scripts on a novice level for a lil over two years now. I'm wanting to work on an open source radio project that can grab shoutcast info from a parcel stream and display it in hovertext... Station Name, DJ Name, Artist & Song... I'd like to post my finished product with the open source resources throughout SL and the web. I think this is a vital learning effort, and because I run a non-profit radio station for the Wastelands community, Omega Radio (http://omegaradio.info:12012 ), it's become an interest of mine. I've found some good resources available in regards to setting a parcel url per a llDialog list, but am an amateur when it comes to where to even begin after scouring the most obvious resources.

Many Thanks,
Mystik Merryman

shoutcast uses xml playlist info pages, which could be grabbed via http request, the string searchced for indexes and copied to variable that you can use to build your hover text.

as for releasing it, depending on how you want it treated after release. if you wiki it, it goes under CC-BY-SA, which keeps it open source in usage.
