NowPlaying

NowPlaying is a lightweight, modern, object-oriented PHP library that abstracts out the currently playing metadata from popular radio broadcast software into a single common return format.

Installing

NowPlaying is a Composer package that you can include in your project by running:

composer require azuracast/nowplaying

Compatibility

Usage Example

<?php
// Example PSR-17 and PSR-18 implementation from Guzzle 7
// Install those with:
//   composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

$httpFactory = new GuzzleHttp\Psr7\HttpFactory();
$adapterFactory = new NowPlaying\AdapterFactory(
    $httpFactory,
    $httpFactory,
    new GuzzleHttp\Client
);

$adapter = $adapterFactory->getAdapter(
    NowPlaying\Enums\AdapterType::Shoutcast2,
    'http://my-station-url.example.com:8000'
);

// You can also call:
// $adapterFactory->getShoutcast2Adapter('http://url');

// Optionally set administrator password
$adapter->setAdminUsername('admin'); // "admin" is the default
$adapter->setAdminPassword('AdminPassword!');

// The first argument to the functions is the mount point or
// stream ID (SID), to pull one specific stream's information.
$now_playing = $adapter->getNowPlaying('1');

$clients = $adapter->getClients('1');
