Spinitron metadata receiver

metadata

Overview

metadata is an experimental hack to mess with extracting data from the spinitron.com metadata push mechanism.

metadata listens on a TCP port (default: 52341) for connection requests for metadata push requests in XML format from spinitron.com (or, really anywhere).

metadata extracts the relevant data from the XML and writes it to a MariaDB database.

WARNING

This code employs ZERO encryption, authentication, authorization or security. Use at your own peril.
