Any method can be used to make the connection to the PANSE server.
To get a quick look at the PANSE output, you can telnet to 130.208.220.190
port 6667. Methods that have been tested are telnet, php fsockopen,
Flash XMLsocket and Java. What you need to know to be able to send
control messages to PANSE is how the information is routed to various
components once PANSE receives it. I've gathered this information
in the file routemap.pdf.
Here is a Flash file you can examine to see how the connection
is made from a Flash movie and how to declare the different available
variables (pansevars.zip).
Here is another Flash file you can examine to see a very simple
use of the variables from the PANSE server (simple.zip).
Although it is possible to include the Mp3 stream in a Flash movie,
I do not recommend it. It breaks up frequently and the quality is
very poor. The best way to do it is to include the following link
somewhere: http://130.208.220.190:8002/playlist.pls?mount=/panse&file=dummy.pls
For most users, clicking this link will open whatever Mp3 player
they have configured on their computer and connect to the PANSE
stream. However, not everyone has their Mp3 player configured correctly
so it's good to include instructions for connecting manually ( connect
to location 130.208.220.190:8002/panse ). |
