Max title lenght?

Post by reeckz »

I'm not sure if it's IceCast (2.3.1) or RadioBot (5.10) but on some longer titles I'm seeing some of it cut off. Is there a way to make it longer so everything will show?
I'm running it on Windows Server 2008.

Cheers,
Reeckz

Trying to trigger it again, I only have a select few songs who do it.

You should add a command like: "!autodj-song" to make the autodj play a specific song (based on song title, say 75% match to trigger?). I can't get !songby to work sadly.

Edit: Got it.

That looks like the songs have ID3v1 tags, they only support 30 characters for the title which is why they are cut off. (that is a limitation of the tag format, not the bot or anything)
If you tag them with ID3v2 with the full title then it will show up (or also you can strip the tags and it will use the filename without the extension, but that's not as nice especially if you are using WebRequest).

An easy way to re-tag files is to load them in Winamp and use the auto-tag feature.

If you type "!songby Studio B" it should play that song (or another one by them).
