so i need a webserver installed like apache? to use the generated html?, i am using MariaDB rather MYSQL, and accessing the DB via hedi sql, i would be greatfull if you could step me through the whole process, i looked at the xml for the web export, it looks like a foreign language to me, thanks again
Web server would be needed if you wanted to publish HTML for others to see. You should have started the thread by mentioning that you need HTML for xsplit broadcaster. If xsplit broadcaster reads the file from local disk, you could use relative image path. That would mean if the exported html file is at "F:\RadioDJ\now_playing_for_xsplit.html" and album art images are in "F:\RadioDJ\Album_Art", image src attribute should be "Album_Art/artist-album.jpg".
Example HTML for use as RadioDJ template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Now playing: $artist$ - $title$</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="$track_id$">
<h1>$artist$</h1>
<h2>$title$</h2>
<p>Album: $album$</p>
<img src="Album_Art/$album_cover$" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
I'm not sure if XSplit needs header tags and wrapping elements in <body>, but you can remove those parts if XSplit doesn't like them. Try searching
XSplit forums for HTML samples or start a new thread there if you can't find anything.
Btw, XML and HTML are much easier to read and understand if you have editor with syntax highlighting, like Notepad2 or Notepad++.
It's great when people ask short and to-the-point questions, but it's better if you explain what you want to accomplish, rather than what you think is what you need. If you had started this thread by explaining that you want to pass now playing info from RadioDJ to XSplit, your question may have been answered already.
