I have a Foobar 2000 HTTP control setup that does nothing but show the title and artist playing. I am trying to scrape that, but I can’t figure out what I should use as the tag, probably because I don’t have one and don’t know how to add one (the only tags I found were CSS tags that could change color and so on for text). This is the HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="10">
</head>
<body onload="mouse_capture_init(); fit();" onresize="fit();">
<br>artist Iron Maiden</p>
<br>tittel Powerslave</p>
</body>
</html>
So what I want is to create one sensor that in this case will show “Iron Maiden” and another one that will show “Powerslave” (the song, not the album). The HTML page I am scraping looks like this, and I can add anything I want there if there is something that will make scraping possible:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="10">
</head>
<body onload="mouse_capture_init(); fit();" onresize="fit();">
<br>artist [HELPER1X]</p>
<br>tittel [HELPER2X]</p>
</body>
</html>
So the HELPER1X and HELPER2X are where Foobar puts in the artist and title, defined in another file called config:
[foo_httpcontrol]
url=/
helper1=[%album artist%]
helper2=[%title%]
No idea why it’s upper case in the HTML and lower case in the config file, but without that it just doesn’t work.
