Try using one of the other metadata tags you have no need for.
I use the copyright tag for the email address of advertisers so when my php script sees it, it knows to send an email to the advertiser.
I also use the composer field for artist Twitter handles so my script can direct message them when their song plays.

That sounds pretty clever.  I'm in a situation where I can't really use php or any web server-side scripts (if that's what you call them) but am limited to utilising what the program itself, plugins, and a recipient such as TuneIn will accept.  Basically because we use Google Sites as part of our Google for Education setup, so don't really have our own 'web site hosting folder'.  I've managed to mash-up a recently played table using a combination of Google Sheets and some other bits and pieces to make it update every minute so I guess there seems to often be some butchered work-arounds  ;)

Unless I've misinterpreted your post and you mean there is a way I can utilise the existing WebExport Now Playing plugin?

Oh, yes I see what you mean, the first text was incorrectly typed (and therefore the quote too).  But the picture of the final fix is correctly working.

It shows the following...
URL --- http://air.radiotime.com/Playing.ashx
Password --- [leave blank]
Custom Data --- partnerId=your_tunein_partner_id&partnerKey=your_tunein_partner_key&id=your_tunein_station_id&artist=$artist_enc$&title=$title_enc$
Method --- GET
Enable --- tick
Active --- tick
SAVE (to be sure, by save icon first, then save button dialogue box)


Yes, this is what I used to get too when I had made a couple of mistakes.  Can't remember the exact order of things that then made it come right.
I recently reinstalled RDJ and could not find this information. Marius can we have it as a sticky?


Make sure you copy the same uppercase and lowercase format in the custom data just to be sure, as I'm not 100% sure it's case-sensitive.  And obviously double-check the partnerId and partnerKey provided by tunein is correctly entered.

The format I've typed just above in green is definitely working for me now (also I'm using RDJ v2.0.0.1).

Here is TuneIn's info page about what they require (though you may already have that?)
