VIP Support Aersia + Foobar2000

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has found out a way to play Aersia through foobar rather than through the browser?

It's definitely possible, it can add internet locations and stream from them. You'd just need to set up some sort of script to find all the audio files and throw them into a playlist. I might do it if I'm not too lazy in the next few days.

Of course you could always just download all of them if you don't care about streaming.

I know this is an old thread, but I post in it anyways. I made the playlist file for VIP. The input source file is from vip.aersia.net/roster.xml.

Download output.pls on MEGA

You can use this playlist with VLC and Winamp.

While I made this list, I notice that the XML is not valid. To make it valid do this:

• Change "&" on titles to "&"
• Change "&" on all location URLs to "%26"
• There is an incomplete location end tag, somewhere.
• Change "© & ℗" to "(c)"

In case someone want to rebuild the list, here is the python code I used.

Track parser.py (open) Track parser.py (close)

Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/python2.7
    
from xml.dom import minidom
xmldoc = minidom.parse('roster.xml')
tracklist = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('track') 
counter = 0
outputFile=""
outputFile += "[playlist]\n"
outputFile += "NumberOfEntries=%d\n" % len(tracklist)
for s in tracklist :
    counter = counter + 1
    locationURL = (s.getElementsByTagName("location")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue)
    creator = (s.getElementsByTagName("creator")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue)
    title = (s.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue)
    outputFile += ("File%d=%s\n" % (counter,locationURL))
    outputFile += ("Title%d=%s - %s\n" % (counter,creator,title))
# print outputFile
file = open("output.pls", "w")
file.write(outputFile)
file.close()

Thats going to be cool, Cats.

I was thinking about adding the playlist to https://code.google.com/p/navi-x/. It's a playlist online manager for streaming media. Unfortunateley the service is down, because they are moving to new servers. A drawback about navi-x is that they use their own playlist format.

The playlists are explored through a plugin on XBMC. You could configure if the playlist is public or private(just for your IP).

Goodbye!

Many thanks to copper for doing most of the work on this one, but I thought it would be nice to automate the entire process. As long as you have python installed, this will create the latest playlist file.
