I am now waiting for my wl500g deluxe that is supposed to arrive this Friday.

Tuur, is it sufficient to plug the usb 2 fm adapter directly to wl500g's USB port or is some soundcard required?

Thank you very much!

Hello Reflex, hello @All!

Sorry, I may ask a stupip question.
Do you mean you got the audio output (via USB soundcard) working on the WL-HDD?

I am just "on the way" buying this product and this feature would be really great.
If I own it I would also be very interested in the (modified) php script and a newbie tutorial. :)

Edit: Which usb2audio brand have you chosen? Maybe they all work or do they have to meet special requirements?
Edit2: Is the only requirement "USB audio spezification V 1.0"?

Thank you very much.

Hi
I'm working with a laptop comp. and working makes easyer with sound :)
And to listen music with my laptop-speakers is not realy a nice thing, so with the waverserver of wl500g and the small usb audiointerface from mediatek connected to usb hub on one and to my hifi at the other side (optical or line) it's mutch better... and all without to dis-/connect everytime the audio cables.
For me its nice to have

Kristel

(learning english today lesson? sorry...)

Is this new audio support implemented in the WL-500G Deluxe firmware too, or is it only a feature in the WL-500G standard version?
At Asus' website it's only mentioned at the WL-500G standard version webpage.

Works like a charm. Now I have a completely silent MP3 player in the living room that I control with my PDA.

If anybody is interested in the PHP code, I would be happy to post it (it does need some cleaning up though :o )

i'd really love to know as much detals on this as possible, what audio card? what audio playing software? etc. php code would also be great as i'm looking to do the exact same thing!!! :D My sound card arrived today (more details as I found out myself).

I'm also trying to use the wl-500gx + attached usb-hd as a silent musicmachine... I installed rmdijkman php-script, and it kind of works... i can see my mp3's listed by the php-page, but nothing happens when i press the little playbutton... very frustrating...

As i mentioned in another post, i installed madplayer and it works when executed directly...

Has anyone had any luck with this and are willing to help me out?

Thanks in advance/
Erik

Sorry for bring old threads back to life, but i tried everything to get the phpscript to work, but, im to damn lousy at linux :( .

Could you, if possible, please type a small guide for installing the script and also how to set the rights to files and such...
I'm getting a bit desperate here...

Hello Reflex , I read that you want to modify the php script to remote control madplay.
Did you already made some progress ?
Thanks

So I made another script some of you might be interested in.
Just put this file into your cgi-bin directory of your secondary webserver and browse to the name of this script.

There's still only one problem: if I start a stream, there won't be any page output.
Maybe someone has a solution for this.

Code:

---

#!/bin/sh
# WEBRADIO SCRIPT V1.1
echo "Content-type: text/html;"
echo

# SERVER FILE FORMAT:
# <host> <port> <url_path> <description of station with spaces allowed>
SERVERFILE=stations

# EXTRACT PARAMETER, IF PRESENT
# THIS CAN BE script?param=value&param2=value2...
# OR CAN BE  script/param=value&param2=value2...
ESC_SCRIPT_NAME=`echo $SCRIPT_NAME | sed -r 's/\//\\\\\//g'`
PARAM=`echo $REQUEST_URI | sed -e "s/$ESC_SCRIPT_NAME.//g"`

if [ "$SCRIPT_NAME" != "$REQUEST_URI" ]; then
 # MAKE VARIABLES OUT OF THE PARAMETER
 `echo -e export "$PARAM" | sed -e "s/&/\nexport /g"`

 # NO HOST GIVEN, PROBABLY WANTS TO STOP THE STREAM
 if [ -z "$host" ]; then
  ./stream stop
  exit 0;
 fi

 # STARTING STREAM, USES THE STREAM SCRIPT
 ./stream stop > /dev/null
 ./stream start $host $port $urlpath
else
 # DEFAULT: NO PARAMS GIVEN
 # PRINT THE SERVER LIST
 cat $SERVERFILE | sed -r "s/([^ ]*) ([^ ]*) ([^ ]+) (.*)/< a. h.r.å.f=\"$ESC_SCRIPT_NAME?host=\1\&port=\2\&urlpath=\3\">\1:\2\3 \"\4\"<\/a><br \/>\n/g"
fi

Also, it is likely, you have to kill the waveserver and waveservermain processes, otherwise you can't access your soundblaster device

Update:
I improved the script a little to play streams which contain paths in their url (Like Digitally Imported does: 64.236.34.67 80 /stream/1017 DI DJ mixes 96k)
You have to use the updated stream script posted earlier.
To show an example stations file:

Code:

---

radio.bmj.net 8000 / Bash.org radio (trance)
rs1.radiostreamer.com / 8370 70's
classical.music4free.no-ip.org 8000 / Classic
radioprank.com 8000 / Comic
www.media4fun.com 8004 / Music Hq
native.screaminghost.com 8010 / Mixed
64.236.34.67 80 /stream/1017 DI DJ mixes 96k
  / Stop stream

Hi!

I tried to use the script from rmdijkman on my WL-HDD with lighttpd+php+fcgi!
Everything looks fine: I can see my mp3-directories and it's also possible to add files to the playlist. But when I press the play button, nothing happens!?!
Playing songs with maplay over telnet works fine.

What's the problem? I've spent a lot or time, but I didn't find a solution!
Can anybody help me to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot!!!
