Project: UnOfficial.FM Feed Maker Author: John Eckman URL: https://github.com/jeckman/UnOfficial.fm-Feed License: GPL v2 or Later Takes an official.fm userid, and uses the JSON file provided by official.fm to create an iTunes-compatible RSS feed, including enclosures. To find the "source_user_id" as above, load the official.fm page of the account you are interested in, view source of that page, and look for the .json file - for example: http://new.official.fm/feed/projects/6CaZ.json This .json file provides access to the tracks for this user as a JSON feed (JavaScript Object Notation) which unofficial.php knows how to read Configure the section at the top. You have to manually provide many of the iTunes-specific data elements because Official.fm doesn't provide those items. Two scripts are provided: unofficial.php <- outputs a feed usable by most pod-catcher clients unofficial_itunes.php <- outputs a feed usable by iTunes Loading either of these in a web browser should output RSS directly. Once that's working well, configure a cron job to output the rss to a file: For example, my crontab has this line: * 3 * * * curl -s http://example.com/dir/unofficial.php > ~/example.com/dir/feed.xml * 3 * * * curl -s http://example.com/dir/unofficial_itunes.php > ~/example.com/dir/itunes-feed.xml (Your mileage will vary, as you'll need to set the right path to your php file and the right path to the directory where it can write). Then configure podcatcher clients to point at the feed.xml Set the cronjob to the desired frequency - every time it runs, it will overwrite the feed.xml with new content. NOTE ON ITUNES FEED: iTunes requires that enclosure urls end in .mp3 so the file has to be redirected through getfile.php. This means that you must also map getfile.mp3 to getfile.php - this is a php file which will return (via a redirect) the actual path to the enclosure at full resolution (not the lofi.mp3 in the JSON feed). Example entry in .htaccess for doing that: # Map getfile.mp3 to getfile.php RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^getfile.mp3$ getfile.php What this does is allow the feed to point to getfile.mp3?track_id=213 but have the webserver serve getfile.php instead. Enjoy! John
