Yes, it's yet another "currently playing" plugin. What makes this one better (or, at least, different)?

*

Support for MPD
*

Support for others is possible and possibly easy - see below.
*

No file transfer -- WordPress is updated via HTTP POST.
*

Updater should work on Linux/BSD, OSX, and Windows.

SG What's Playing (SGWP from now on) is comes in two components: the WordPress plugin, and a Python program (sgwpupdate.py) that reads data from the player and POSTs it to the blog.

The sgwpupdate.py program can be run as a one-shot or, on Unix-like systems, as a daemon. In one-shot mode, you can specify song details rather than reading them from the player. Thus, if your player can trigger a program on song or status change (e.g. Audacious, WinAMP (I think!)), you can probably use sgwpupdate.py to update your WordPress blog.

In daemon mode, sgwpupdate.py uses a player-specific module to obtain the song meta-data from the player and then sends the data to your WordPress blog. At present, the only included module is for MPD, but writing modules for other players shouldn't be too difficult. See the "Custom Player Modules" section below.

installation : *

Unpack the archive.
*

Copy sgwhatsplaying.php and widget.php to a sgwhatsplaying directory in your WordPress plugins directory. Or just unpack the archive under your plugins directory - all the python stuff will be ignored.
*

Activate the plugin.
*

Goto Options->SGWhatsPlaying, and set the "password". Don't use a password you use for any real access - this is just key to keep random losers from screwing with your blog, and is not secure in any real way.

The updater program

*

Unpack the archive on the machine with access to your music player.
*

If you don't have Python installed, install it.
*

(OPTIONAL) Run python setup.py install to install the program and module into your regular Python site directories. But you can skip this: sgwpupdate.py will run fine out of any directory.
*

Copy sgwpupdate.conf to your $HOME/.sgwpupdate.conf, or /etc/sgwpupdate.conf.
*

Edit the configuration file to set password and blog in the sgwpupdate section, and (if using MPD) mpdhost and mpdport in the sgwpmpd section. See later in this document for complete configuration documentation.
*

Run sgwpupdate.py --debug to test. If you're not using MPD, you can test with sgwpupdate.py --debug --title 'Some Song Title' --artist 'Some Artist' --album 'Album Name' --state 'play'.
*

To start in daemon mode, run sgwpupdate.py --daemon.
*

The file sgwupdate.ini is a Debian-compatible initrc file. Copy it to /etc/init.d/sgwpupdate and create the desired links in /etc/rc?.d to have sgwpupdate.py automatically start on system boot.
