HTML output pages can be created in various ways inside SAM Broadcaster. This section walks through three quick examples showcasing each type.

Note: This section does not cover websites generated exclusively via a webscripting language like PHP or ASP. This only concerns only HTML pages as parsed and generated via SAM.

Examples

1. Input source type: File

Create a file called input_file.txt and enter the following for its contents:

Currently playing:
$song.artist$ - $song.title$ ($song.mmss$)

Now go to the HTML output configuration section and add a new HTML output file with input_file.txt as the input source with type File and output as output_file.txt.

2. Input source type: HTTP

Inside the HTML output configuration add a new output page of type HTTP with input source:

http://www.spacialaudio.com/help/input_http.php?artist=#artist#&title=#title#&mmss=#mmss#

and output called output_http.txt.

Note: This page is generated on our webserver using song information SAM sends inside the GET URL parameters. The source for this PHP script is as follows:

<?php echo "Currently playing:"; ?>
<?php echo "$artist - $title ($mmss)"; ?>

3. Input source type: PAL Script

Finally, create a file called input_pal.txt and use the following for its contents:

<% Send('Currently playing:'); %>
<%= cursong['artist'] %> - <%= cursong['title'] %> (<%= cursong['mmss'] %>)

Next, inside the HTML output configuration , add a new output page of type PAL script with input file input_pal.txt and output output_pal.txt.

Note: Notice that this special kind of PAL script mixes normal HTML with PAL script commands. All PAL script commands need to be within <% %> brackets.

Generate the example pages

From the General menu command generate the HTML output page and look at the output files created.
