Hi there,
I know you're working on a way to get audio into DSPlayer, to play music along with the graphics. When that feature is there, will it be possible to fetch the song title and artist from the song currently being played and display that? That would be a great way to serve the viewer with that info, particularly when featuring local bands.

Hi,
Audio support is available for movies and animations in the player.
If you have a audio playout device that can export titles and artist information, it is very likely possible to generate a XML datasource.
Write the actually information into the XML datasource and read it automaticly for instance every 5 seconds into the player. Create a template or use an overlay to show the information in realtime.
Datasources are very flexible, and very useful for showing realtime information.
