New Plug-in

I just recently made a new plug-in for FlatPress. It’s called Current Song.
I’m currently working out the kinks in it, but it seems to be coming along nicely.
It will be a widget, like the one you see beside this post. I won’t release it now, however, I will release it soon. I just need to work some things out with it first. Like Integrating search.
This is a special widget. It does require certain software.
You’ll need:
- Flatpress, (OBVIOUS)
- SongBird, (Free Media Player built on Mozilla technology)
- Now Chirping Add-on for it
Here’s the code you’ll need to type in for it for basic functionality:
What I’m Currently Listening to:
Song Name: %title%
Artist: %artist%
Album: %album%
Search Song: %title% @ Playlist.com
I’ll add the bit to search later when I figure out that code.
Also you’ll need to set the following settings in your Now Chirping config:
- Site URL
- FTP Username and Password
- location of the file that holds the data,
(/flatpress install here/fp-content/currentsong/res/current.txt) - The code I displayed above
Once those are set, the plug-in will work, even if you disable it on FlatPress, it will update it regardless.
Update: If you notice that there are multiple songs list, I think that’s a problem with the plugin with songbird.
I’m gonna submit a bug report to the developer and see if they fix this.
