Plugin REST Server for RDJ 1.7.5+

[maurocal]

Thanks AndyDeGroo,
I know XP is very old.
for now we do not have the money to change their original licenses.
  Thanks again.
Mauro

[TQ]

If it's any help, I'm still running on XP 64bit (I know it's really a windoz server 2003 cut-down) which was cut off from updates at the same time as the 32bit version and all is well for me.

I purchased a 64bit Win7 replacement license but I just can't face rebuilding my station PC from scratch as I have sooo much else on it. I've decided to wait until I can buy a new bare-bones PC use the license on that.

TQ

If it can be useful to someone, I solved my problem by installing .NET Framwork 3.5 SP1, whereas before it was only installed 3.5.

also wanted to point out:
if, while radiodj monitor is open, you squeeze Connect again, everything stops. it is necessary to terminate the process and reopen again.

If the History of radiodj is empty does not connect. you need to start at least a song or jingle to fill the History.

if you can increase the font size for someone like me who is short-sighted.

Thanks Marius, it's a wonderful job and we will use it once in a live performance.

PS. when you talk about messages, it means that the director is able to send messages to the speaker?

Hi Marius,
to make it more secure wouldn't it be better to use basic http authentication instead of just passing User and password in the address line?
Also I guess it is a bit more handy to use, because you don't have to athenticate with every command (as far as I understood the process).

Just my 2 cents to a great new plugin!

Cheers
Malte

Great suggestion but why do you think basic authentication is any better than sending plaintext password in URL params? In essence it's the same thing only base64 encoded, which is easily reversible. The only way to secure it would be by using HTTPS or via VPN/SSH tunnelling.

Well, I'm testing the plugin right now but I can't get ShowMessage command to do anything. It returns status code 200 but nothing is happening.
There is a message in Plugin_RestServer_log.txt stating that all went well:

Command received from auth: p@$$W0rd, command: ShowMessage, argument: Hello World!

but nothing in event logs or exceptions whatsoever.

In the opening post, I missed it too, it says:

PS2: The ShowMessage command will only work with the next version of RadioDJ.

I assume he's meaning it will only work in the version after 1.7.5.0

In the released versions s not implemented yet. The new version is on the way, however...

That's great news!

What do i wrong?

[Marius]

From the first page:

The only way i could replicate the problem was to set my location to France, so it could be something related to your locales. However i fixed it.
Please download RadioDJ monitor v1.1 from here: http://www.radiodj.ro/download/beta-utils/RadioDJMonitorV1.1.zip

hai!
How to use REST SERVER Plugin on Raid DJ.I copy and paste plugins into plugun Folder but it doesnt work.Can Anybody help??

[Marius]

If you need help, please detail the problem because no one can guess what you have there.
- What version of rdj?
- How did you tested the plugin and came to the conclusion that it don't works?

[Jared5595]

Great plugin, as well as great software! How easy would it be to implement polling to see if events are enabled or disabled? Reason I'm asking is because I do a little bit of remote broadcasting, and I use the plugin to load in the internet stream that I broadcast to from RDJ on my laptop, when I'm on location with aus10hollis' web interface. As of current, I've dusted off my very rusty CSS and HTML skills to add two buttons to the page, below the playlist to enable and disable (which does fine for what little I need it for). Anyways, I really enjoy not having to use VNC now to do remote broadcasts! 

Also, for authentication (on the web interface), I just run a small apache server on the RDJ machine with https (since I have a static IP address to assign a domain and ssl cert to, but this can be achieved easily with a free dynamic dns subdomain). I put an .htaccess on it, and now I can login from anywhere and check it securely! (I also have SFTP setup so I can manage pretty much everything remotely and safely)


Anyways, great work Marius and aus!

You can use a little bit of JavaScript to poll every few seconds and then change your button colors depending on what the response it. Just use the StatusAssisted and StatusAutoDJ REST command.
