There is nothing wrong with the xml.  I also recommend purging your cache.

- File >> Purge Cache
- File >> Full Restart

You should also check that you don't have duplicate group names for some reason.

If none of that helps you should post a full log.

It's the weirdest thing -- I had tried all that, purging the cache, full restart, closing down the application and then restarting.  Going through all of that again.  For some reason, it just kept giving me the same log message.  Waited a while, came back to it, restarted VC and then it started working!

Seems ok for now -- thanks!

Sorry -- didn't mean to imply that the XML wasn't working, I knew it had to be some user error or something going on with the PC on my end.

I didn't think you were implying anything, but sometimes older XML is no longer valid so I thought I should point out that it was still working for us.

I have been playing with this but so far, have been unable to get it to work. Before I continue, is the code still valid?

No, looks like the Shoutcast site has changed its stripes, so the XML posted here at http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1140.msg9864#msg9864 is no longer valid.

The history panel gives a pretty good indication of this if you try the commands. When it scrapes the Shoutcast site and tries to find matches for the regular expression, no matches are found.
TIPS: POST VC VERSION #. Explain what you want VC to do. Say what you've tried & what happened, or post a video demo. Attach VC log. Link to instructions followed.  Post your command (xml)

I have setup folder called "Net Radios" and in this folder are a number of internet stations, each with a specific payload.
To date using a variation of phrases for each station e.g. What station is this, Name this station etc., have had success.
Would like to ask: "What station is this" for each station, while the station is streaming using the same phrase.
If this is possible, would like some help please. Thanks.

By "setup folder" do you mean "command group"? http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Groups

If so, could you please post your Net Radios command group xml?  http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=XML_on_the_forum#Posting_Your_Code_to_the_Forum

It will be easier for us to understand what you've accomplished so far and what you're still trying to do.

Thanks for posting your xml. I wouldn't have understood what was happening without being able to see your commands.

I've made some revisions to your command group. Within each command, I've added a description to try to explain what is happening.

If you copy the command group into your tree, you can open up each command to read the explanation.

I recommend that you delete your current command group before trying to use this new version, because otherwise you'll have two groups in your tree that use the same command phrases and VC will get confused. If you want to revert back to your original commands, you can simply grab them again from this thread.

You'll also need to download the attached payload xml file and place it in your "net radio payloads" folder.

If you haven't yet done so, I highly recommend that you watch the 2 "Editing & Building Commands" video tutorials. http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Video_Tutorials#Core_Concepts

Or if you've already watched those, perhaps re-watch them after reviewing my comments in the attached commands. Payloads are powerful and important tools in VoxCommando -- central to how it functions. It's important to genuinely understand how they work.

TIPS: POST VC VERSION #. Explain what you want VC to do. Say what you've tried & what happened, or post a video demo. Attach VC log. Link to instructions followed.  Post your command (xml)

By the way, to attach files to a post, you can click on "Additional Options" below the post field. There you'll see an Attach: "Choose File" option.

Re Reply #69

@Nime5ter. Thanks. Works nicely. Will again review videos. In the interim I have a question. Based on your notes, am I correct that only stations of the same as in shoutcast will work as per your code? In other words, a station like radio paradise would not work if added to the payload. However other shoutcast stations could be added and will work. Thanks.

Yes, that's what I indicated -- but mainly this has to do with the "get song info" command. That command scrapes the Shoutcast stream URL to retrieve song information. Since different sites work differently, that command will not work for Radio Paradise.

However, you could still add the Radio Paradise stream's URL (http://stream-tx4.radioparadise.com:80/mp3-128) to your payload XML file and issue the command to listen to Radio Paradise.

The command asking "What station is this" will also work, because it is not trying to scrape a website; it is looking up that information locally, in your payload XML file.

In theory, you could add a separate command to get the song info for Radio Paradise (using the xml that James has posted previously) -- just make sure to make the phrasing unique in order to distinguish that query from the one you're using for the Shoutcast stations.
