You should see it on the sidebar, the “On Air At WUMD” box. It displays what automation (OMT iMediaTouch) is reporting as “playing”, or if nothing is playing, it displays ‘Live DJ’.
It’s a configurable plugin widget For WordPress. You can change the title, the default program (currently ‘Live DJ’) which displays when nothing is ‘playing’, and the location of the callsign_band.xml file generated by iMediaTouch On Air (if you have it turned on.)
If your WordPress is hosted on the same system as the xml file, you can tell it to grab the file directly, otherwise you specific the URL and it is retrieved.
You can also turn on (or off) the use of ajax, which when on, will retrieve the current song every two minutes.
Sure, I’ll make more options and features, as soon as I figure out what they should be!

Larry…This plugin would sure help us out with a new radio station website that is in development. Is this plugin available for download, and is it open for tweaks. The boss would like to show the Current song, and the last 10 songs played. Thanks for any insight.

You should be able to install it through normal methods. (Add New Plugin, search for ‘omt on air’.) This currently shows only the on-air cut, but could easily be modified to show a specific number of past cuts, as long as your OMT configuration is set to supply them. I’ll start work on it.
Found it! So far so good! One other “wish” is that it display only the Title & Artist data of the Music category so that promos, liners, and ID’s are not shown. In our case the Category is PHF. Here is the XML file if that will help you.

I have the album option completed (not released yet.) As far as showing only a specific category, that’s fairly easy, but what to show when the currently playing cut is NOT PFH?. In our case, if nothing is playing, we show LIVE DJ. So in your case, if the current playing is not PFH, should it be as though nothing is playing?
Also, would you display the past cuts in most recently played order?
Thanks!
What most of the streaming companies do is just leave the last title/artist up during non-music cuts, which is fine for our needs. As for the order, yes, the most recently played at the top then going down in order (2nd most recent, 3rd most, etc).

I posted an update with (I think) the features you were looking for…it seems to work here for testing. Please report any issues.
BTW, I have an android app that grabs the xml from a station site and displays….I could brand something for you if you have an interest. Just a thought.
We just installed it, and looks like it is working pretty well. Still having an issue with the categories. It looks like our guy that set up the log templates used “104” (no quotes) as a category name as opposed to three letters…so the plugin appears to be ignoring the filter and still displaying liners and such. Here is the dev page so you can see. http://justrightradio.com/new/playlist/ Is that something you could adjust for?

Did you put “104” into the categorys field in the widget set up? I would have thought that would do it. I’ll have to try it again…
Turns out the web developer didn’t set up the exclude categories correctly. She put a “-” in front of each of the categories in the string (ie -PSA,-MUS,-104) instead of just one – sign at the front. Once I caught that all the problems went away. The boss is very happy and extends his thanks for helping us out.
