HTML - Streaming Radio + Sports Ticker Help
Hello everyone. =)
I'm still very much a n00b when it comes to web development, so there's still a LOT I don't know how to do (and I can't even search Google very well, 'cuz I don't know the correct terms). That said...I apologize if I put this in the wrong section; I'm not really even sure where this topic belongs. =\ If you have any coding knowledge, or know a website that can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!! 1) I really like music, so I'd love to have an interactive Billboard music chart on my site. By "interactive", I mean "you get a list of the top 40 (or top 100) songs, and if you click the songs, you'll hear them play". I'm thinking that, in order for this to work, I need to find a online radio site or something. But I know nothing about streaming websites...so I'm not even sure if there already is a "Top 40s Billboard" station, or a "Top R&B/Hip-Hop" station. And if those stations do exist, I don't know how to add them to my website. Would I need something called RSS/XML??? What do I do??? 2) I want to add a sports ticker to my website. I'd love for it to be similar to this (I wish I could just pay them for the ticker, but I can't afford $130/month. So I'm wondering if there's a way to produce the same [or a somewhat similar] effect for free?): http://sports.tickertech.com/ As you can see, the ticker is quite expansive. You can get info on national sports news (Michael Vick, etc.) and you can also get specific news based on individual sports teams (San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Tigers, etc.) You can also click on each individual link (located on the left side) and read more information on each topic; it's really really cool. <3 Is there anyway to reproduce this effect? If that ticker involves too much work, then how do I at least get the NATIONAL/MAJOR sports news for each sports category (NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, etc.) to show up? 3) Also, what's the best way to keep my sports ticker and music charts up-to-date (or even better, have it update by itself)? Would I need to use RSS/XML to do it??? Similar TutorialsI want to add a radio selector to my site...to allow people to choose what feed they would like to listen to. I have see a php mod which I could use from a phpnuke mod but I wanted it in simple html if possible. I want a drop down menu with different station names, and when you choose one it loads the relevant stream in a media applet above/below. If you go to my test page you can see what i mean: http://vivalefrench.com/tester.html But I dont see how to target the links to the media player? I bought a cheap flash script that looks good but it doesnt work with asx files, I would have open them to look for the mms file and I dont want to overstep my mark as Im using feeds from another site. Not sure if I am allowed to do such a thing. So a simple html drop down menu to choose stations would be idea. If you right click on the test page, you can view the source to see how its been put together.. There is always a solution but I havent a clue with it .................... Hi All Wondered if anyone could help me. I have a website, which I am able to create a blog page with, which I have done. I do not like any of the layouts/templates that are provided for this service and I want to stream the information that I blog to a section/div tag of my actual site and leave the actual blog page non visable to viewers. Is this possible using only html? or will I have to delete this blog page and set up another with the likes of joomla or wordpress? Cheers Saz hello guys hr u ?? i have a problem i have already a streaming server .. and i created a website using iweb but i don't know how to write the HTML code i found this code but i want to upload it from my strwaming server ?how ??

Or will it always must pass through Flash or Silverlight to make a webcam chat Thanks in advance I would like to include on my website streaming HD video not unlike Youtube or Vimeo. How hard is this? Both in terms of the video compression and the coding for the site. Where do I look for info to help me out? I have a very basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, but not much else. Are the videos on Youtube and Vimeo flash? I am not sure if "streaming" or "embedded" is the proper term for what I want to do. I'll be starting with mp4 files, since those are best for encoding HD... I use x264 codec and encode 720p @ 2.5Mbps for great quality and decent filesize. But somehow Youtube compresses it even further. Example, I had a 5 minute 720p mp4 file that was around 100MB. I uploaded it to Youtube and it is now available in HD and looks pretty good. But if I watch my network connections as I am streaming it, only 20MB transfers... which means they compressed it 5 times better than I had it! That is definitely important because if I try to have streaming HD and it's not compressed enough, it won't be watchable for most people. Hi all, I'm looking for a way to embed a streaming video in a web page in such a way that the user cannot easily download it. Currently we're doing this with Quicktime streaming server (QTSS) on a Mac server - this works, but the ports it uses are preventing some people from viewing the videos due to strict firewall settings so I'm looking for alternatives. Flash is possible, but expensive. Does anyone know of a way to do this which is free (or at least cheap)? Many thanks Im trying to create a site that will constantly update in real time based on my activity. For example, if i update my facebook status or add a new twitter update at 5:30 then the site will add to the top of the list Robin updated her facebook status at 5:30. and the list will continue to build. conplicated... but any thoughts? thanks for the help. Hi: I have a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 webcam mounted on my monitor (for Skype) of my development machine in front of me. I also have my own Apache Server sitting on another Dell desktop beside me, and a Dell Laptop completing the set of three XP Pro machines connected together on my little local intranet. I would like to gently test the waters of live video streaming from my camera thru my local intranet to my Apache server and out into the wide web world ) You folks have already helped me get started in web page design, and my site is now operating very nicely. Now I'd like to add video to my site. I would consider this a startling success if, in a few weeks, I could visit my website and click on a link and see live video of me typing on my keyboard here ) I would appreciate some starting tips please. Software, guidance, hardware, etc Thank you ! -Mel Smlith Hi everyone. Im trying to place a ticker on my website. It has to able to be used on a number of pages. So having done a brief search on the net i came across this: Code: <DIV ID="TICKER" STYLE="overflow:hidden; width:520px"> <? include "myimportlib.php" ?> </DIV> <script type="text/javascript" src="webticker_lib.js" language="javascript"></script> From this site: http://www.mioplanet.com/rsc/newsticker_javascript.htm But, the prblem is this, I have to make every page, that has the code, into a php file. I thought that its point was to be placed into html. Does anyone know how to solves this or is there a better way I like the idea that i can just alter the myimportlib.php file and all the tickers will be correct and i don't have to edit code all over my site.. Hope this has made sense, it kinda does to me. lol: Bobski Hello, I am updating an old website with no media player. They had one but it became damaged. $25,000 right down the tube, (not my money!). Anyway, if you look at the page I’m talking about... http://rockwindow.com/video_pages/viedo_01.htm you will understand what I'm talking about. I used an image of the old player. I was wondering if I was to use <map> attribute around the control buttons what the code would be for a link to do: play, pause & stop. If you right click the video, those options are in the menu. How do I link to a code for a control like that. Any help, I will appreciate very very much. Thank you! Hi all, Just signed up. I dabble occasionally with coding and would appreciate your help on a slight problem. I'm thinking of putting in a scrolling ticker with links to files on site so this is what I've put in (link removed): <marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" bgcolor="#192025" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" scrollamount="4"><a href="link">Text</a></marquee> This is where my problem starts. The text is by default set to be black, therefore I can't see the text as the background colour is a shade of black. How do I change the text colour to white for this one bit? That's the first problem, I then tried to manually change it by adding some codes like this, which is messy: <marquee behavior="scroll" direction="left" bgcolor="#192025" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()" scrollamount="4"><a href="link"><font size="3" face="Yanone Kaffeesatz" color="white"> Text</a></font> </marquee> It is now white text but the problem is that it appears in Times New Roman I think. I then tried deleting the face=Yanone Kaffeesatz strand but it does not work. Thing is, with the first <marquee> example in my post, it defaults to the Yanone Kaffeesatz font with no mention of it (as that is what I use on my site), but it's in black. When I add the other string in the second example I get it in white but not in the font I want. Any help would be much appreciated. Hi everyone, Basically I want to add 3 tickers from this site: http://www.worldometers.info to my page. I've tried viewing the page source and copying but having some issues. Let's say I want to add the "CO2 emissions this year (tons)" ticker; what is the code I need please? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you! I'm trying to set up a scrolling news ticker for my Internet radio station. Specifications: * Must be at least 35px high. Width is 100% of the page. * Must be an scrolling ticker moving left and must be able to stop when scrolling over it. * Must be real-time (and maybe will have a timestamp, if possible) * Would like these RSS feeds to be integrated into this news ticker.

Thank you! Can someone help me create a scrolling news ticker in HTML code? I want to put rss feed into this scrolling ticker from an rss feed like yahoo news etc. It would be greatly appreciated if someone can help or give me the code. Ill be glad to put your name in the code. THanks. Hi, I'm trying to modify an HTML-based RSS ticker that I've found online. For reference, the code can be found at http://www.rsspump.com. Currently, the code is written to display a certain number of recent posts (for my purposes, tweets from a Twitter account). The default setting displays anywhere between 1-9 of the most recent posts. The issue is that I am using the ticker to display a list of daily announcements. The number of announcements we tweet varies from day to day, and become irrelevant once the day is over. Is there a way to rewrite this code so that the posts (tweets) displayed are based on the day they are posted rather than the number of recent posts? For example, instead of displaying my 5 most recent tweets, I'd like to display everything I've tweeted today and only things I've tweeted today. I hope that makes sense. Anyways, I've posted the code below. Thank you so, so much to anybody who can help. <iframe src="http://s1.rsspump.com/rss.aspx?s=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000&speed=2&t=0&d=0&u=0&p=1&b=0&ic=9&font=Verdana&fonts ize=12px&bgcolor=&color=000000&type=typewriter&su=1&sub=1&sw=1" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="16" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe><noframes><div style="background-color: none transparent;"><a href="http://www.rsspump.com/?web_widget/rss_ticker/news_widget" title="News Widget">News Widget</a></div></noframes> I have found these sample html codes but I think these are lacking.

Hello there! I'm new to this forum and a definite NEWBIE but am doing my best to learn. I am making a form in which I have several categories that are chosen by clicking on radio buttons. The problem is that I must have coded this incorrectly because you can ONLY click on ONE radio button, even thought there are 7 different subcategories. I'd like to be able to click on one radio button for each of the different subcategories. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!! |
