Additional variables for HTTP POST multipart/form-data logging

The following variables are only supported in HTTP POST multipart/form-data logging.

They must be typed into the “value” field as is, with no other strings/variables around them.

%ALBUMART Album art (if available), as binary form data (from v6.3.3)

Additional variables for playlist/advertising import (filename pattern)

%B Block number
%2B Block number, two digits, leading 0
%3B Block number, three digits, leading 0
%N Region number
%2N Region number, two digits, leading 0
%3N Region number, three digits, leading 0

FormatDateTime

Some variables expect a time format string in Delphi's FormatDateTime notation, see http://www.delphibasics.co.uk/RTL.asp?Name=FormatDateTime

Subsequent items

By using + signs in the variables, you can access the data of the subsequent (next) items in the playlist.

For example %+a retrieves the artist of the next item, not the current one, %++a the artist of the item after the next item, and so on.

For performance reasons, the number of items considered/available is limited to 3 by default. You can adjust this value through a manual setting in mAirList.ini:

[Options]
NextLoggingLimit=10

Please note that this limit applies to the overall number of subsequent items available for logging, before any possible item type filtering. So if you want to log e.g. the next 3 “Music” items, but there are times when there are 4 non-music items in between (jingles, news, advertising, etc.), you must set the limit to 7 or higher.
