SHOUTcast is a free-of-charge audio homesteading solution. It permits anyone
on the internet to broadcast audio from their PC to listeners across the
Internet or any other IP-based network (Office LANs, college campuses, etc.).

[Vizionz]

worked flawless now for the next mission :) ad the ability for multi servers. and the abilty to link other stream links

example: * these are just idea*
stream1
stream2


rap radio - listen now: winamp - windows media - real player
Metal radio - listen now: winamp - windows media - real player

they could be text links or images either way is good with me :)

might be hard to ad different streams just for the fact you got the latest 5 tracks going on that would nbe alot of space going on..

unless you changed the style to marquee the lastest 5 tracks

you could also make it clean by having a drop down menu for your streams.
and the links to listen

so like
stream1
winamp
windows media
real player

Stream 2
winamp
windows media
real player

that would save on the space issue and probably look cleaner if done that way..

[Zachariah]

I was thinking for a few months on showing milti -streams. - Might do a Sep. page vs. on the forumhome. I have done Multi-servers on VBA CMPS w/ Multi block many times. It will take some thought. I also would love to make an "all stats" hack vs. the small data this one pulls from the server. I thought the amount of info this gave was already taking a load of space as it was. I'll put some stuff on the fire and see what we can burn.

winamp - done
windows media - easy to do/add
real player - easy to do / have to read a bit on their tech.

Never seen that. I looked and seen you use a URL vs. IP. This will delay a bit. The URL vs. IP sends a DNS request then it returns a URL. Try using IP.

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

ok sorry for the n00b question...this is the first time I've heard of shoutcast...but it seems pretty cool.

but I'm a bit confused. If I install this...that means....

members can broadcast their own radio via the forums? or they have to have a shoutcast server set up on their own and then I can show its status on the forums (via this mod) and then other members can listen to it? or do I have to set up a shoucast server particular to the forum and just let other people listen to it?

so from a member's perspective.....if I wanted to make a "radio station" and show it on the forums:

--i first set up a shoutcast server via shoutcast server download (http://www.shoutcast.com/download/serve.phtml)
--or do I set up a "BE A DJ"?

then what? :confused: from the members' view?

and from the admins view?


again sorry for the n00b questions...but a lot of background to soak if you've never heard of it.

I'm also not sure what the difference is between lite and full (from a forum admin perspective) other than you need a password from shoutcast (do listeners need a password to listen??)

thank you for your patience, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

^^

[Zachariah]

This hack connects to a server and relays its stats / info to your site. The server can be installed anywere as long as the IP can be accessed. You make the server or connect to a server.

The password I talk about is in the shoutcast server software itself. There is a mini web based client and admin section that the shoutcast server software makes on the computer it is installed to. This script needs the admin access to the shoutcast server to get the info to populate the forums w/ live info. It logs in collects the data and returns the info to the client.

The client does not need a password to connect.

I have a shoutcast server setup on a cable modem when I goof around and want to show some friends a few tunes I ran across. @60K upload I can do 16 people @ 24k music quility. (mono .. like AM radio)

Yes it is a hog. The bandwith useage depends on "# of users connected" and the quility of the song in kbps.

uploadspeed / bitrate = max listeners , always leave some for overhead

example in your case 256k uploadspeed / 56k bitrate = max 4 listeners ( 4* 56 = 224kbps ) keep in mind that your provider says he gives you 256kbps upload, the actual speed might be much lower.

Bitrates
192k CD quility
56k stereo
24k mono (like an AM radio, but works for music)
8k voice

BROADCASTING

Persons wanting to broadcast will need to run their own server, as per the instructions below, or find someone willing to run one for them. Once a server's located, broadcasters use Winamp and a plug-in called the SHOUTcast Source for Winamp Plug-In to send audio from Winamp to the SHOUTcast server. The tools are available here, and there's an entire section of the documentation dedicated to the plug-in.

RUNNING A SERVER

The magic of the SHOUTcast system happens inside the SHOUTcast Distributed Network Audio Server (DNAS). This software runs on a server attached to an IP network with lots of bandwidth, and is responsible for receiving audio from a broadcaster, updating the SHOUTcast directory with information about what the broadcaster is sending, and sending the broadcast out to listeners. More information is in the server section of the documentation.

More info (http://www.shoutcast.com/support/docs/)

this looks nice!! checking it out.

i'm not entirely sure whether or not i get this currectly. so does this let you upload and play your own music or is it just another play radio extensions software?

[The Realist]

It allows you to broadcast music or any audio file from your own PC, then its transmited via the server and via your forum for members to listen to.

Now another question:

Is the below details:
$song[t] = Song History:t can range from 0-19. EX: $song[0], $song[1], $song[2] .... $song[19] ----- $song[0] (zerro) is the current song playing.

Is this in the template or file?

If I change the template +$song[0] as below to +$song[19] it does not show the last 19 songs played?

<td width="50%" style="padding-left: 5px" class="smallfont"><tt><marquee width="98%" scrolldelay="100" scrollamount="5">+ $song[0]</marquee></tt></td>

// Shoutcast Server Stats
$scdef = "UGM Shoutcast";
$scip = "68.59.104.15";
$scport = "8000";
$scpass = "password";
$ircsite = "irc.server.net";
//End configuration

thats my code... whats wrong

[Zachariah]

all looks correct :)

I have had another person have problems and here is what they did....


Isn't it a bummer when you find you cant use a good script cause your hosting provider is blocking outgoing an all non descript ports and your website is not on the same server as something like a shoutcast stream.

Dont let that stop you if an xml file is behind a port that you cant access from your site try something like this mod I did for this shoutcast hack

Extra requirements: LyNX browser on your shoutcast server - this is a command line browser, if your on a shoutcast shell you would normally find it allready is installed
If you have your own dedicated server for streaming its not hard to install if it isnt allready there

usage here lynx = starts the browser
-auth= to get into protected directories/files
-source will drop the content source to stdout
1> filename will trap the stdout to a file

lynx then just drops straigh back to command line ready for the next command as you added the switches for its job
eg:
lynx -auth=admin:dNASpasshere -source http://dNAS-IP-Or-Domain:port/admin.cgi?mode=viewxml 1> /webserver/path/public_html/filename.xml

to automate this just add a crontrab entry, dont do this till you are satisfied you have it right ;)

How to install so you can grab your shoutcast status from a permitted port 80:

You will need the files from the hack and a simple edit.

Find:

// ######################## CONFIGURATION AREA ############################

$scdef = "Shoutcast"; // Default station name
$scip = "0.0.0.0"; // ip or url of shoutcast server
$scport = "8000"; // port of shoutcast server
$scpass = "CHANGEME"; // admin password (not DJ) to shoutcast server
$ircsite = "irc.server.net"; // IRC Server - EX: irc.server.com

// ######################## END CONFIGURATION AREA ############################



change to:


// ######################## CONFIGURATION AREA ############################
$domain = "www.domainhere.com"; // The domain to retrieve the xml
$xmlfile = "filename.xml"; //xml filename from your saved stdout 1> filename.xml
$scdef = "Shoutcast"; // Default station name
$scip = "0.0.0.0"; // ip or url of shoutcast server
$scport = "8000"; // port of shoutcast server
$scpass = "CHANGEME"; // admin password (not DJ) to shoutcast server - In LynX to www mode no need for it
$ircsite = "irc.server.net"; // IRC Server - EX: irc.server.com

// ######################## END CONFIGURATION AREA ############################


Now edit the config section to suit. noting the 2 extra bits here

do the template bits and upload the images and index.php file as directed in the hack

run your lynx command in shell and then check out your Shoutcast module page if it worked great
you may want to try it a few times before you add your crontab entry.

Adding crontab from shell is easy, you will more than likely enter the vi editor after issuing the command crontab -e
you might want to do crontab -l first and copy that text safe, so you can easily restore the original cron entries if you mess up.

move your cursor to the line above where you would like your new cron line, hit o
now your in insert mode copy to your clip board your prepared cron line, to run this every 5 minutes would look something like:


*/5 * * * * lynx -auth=admin:dNASpasshere -source http://dNAS-IP-Or-Domain:port/admin.cgi?mode=viewxml 1> /webserver/path/public_html/filename.xml


paste it in (shift + insert)

hit the esc key

now input :x and hit enter to install your new crontab

enjoy :)

[Logik]

i dont really understand that :x

[Zachariah]

i dont really understand that :x

You might edit the Shoutcast server config file "sc_serv.ini" and change the port from 8000 to 80 and see if your host can get the stats from your shoutcast server.

Good to see that worked :D

The ID3v1 tag is on each Mp3. You can access it getting the "options" of a song in your Winamp Playlist.

I USE:
MP3Ext is an extension for the Windows Explorer (http://odin.mutschler.de/mp3ext/).
It enhances it, so you can get information in many ways:

A PropertyPage is installed, where you can fully edit the ID3-Tag
An icon-handler for individual icons is included too
Tooltips, when you simply leave the mouse over the MP3-file (only with IE4.0 Active Desktop)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The features in more detail are:
install/uninstall feature
running on Win95 / WinNT 4.0
multithreaded
easy to use GUI
editing of multiple files
ID3v2 support: this includes unlimited strings, classic support, ...
automatic generation of the ID3-tag from the filename
exporting the information in a file or clipboard
customizable Tooltips
it's giftware


What is ID3 (v1)?
The audio format MPEG layer I, layer II and layer III (MP3) has no native way of saving information about the contents, except for some simple yes/no parameters like "private", "copyrighted" and "original home" (meaning this is the original file and not a copy). A solution to this problem was introduced with the program "Studio3" by Eric Kemp alias NamkraD in 1996. By adding a small chunk of extra data in the end of the file one could get the MP3 file to carry information about the audio and not just the audio itself.

The placement of the tag, as the data was called, was probably chosen as there were little chance that it should disturb decoders. In order to make it easy to detect a fixed size of 128 bytes was chosen. The tag has the following layout (as hinted by the scheme to the right):

Song title: 30 characters
Artist: 30 characters
Album: 30 characters
Year: 4 characters
Comment: 30 characters
Genre: 1 byte


If you one sum the the size of all these fields we see that 30+30+30+4+30+1 equals 125 bytes and not 128 bytes. The missing three bytes can be found at the very beginning of the tag, before the song title. These three bytes are always "TAG" and is the identification that this is indeed a ID3 tag. The easiest way to find a ID3v1/1.1 tag is to look for the word "TAG" 128 bytes from the end of a file.

As all artists doesn't have a 30 character name it is said that if there is some bytes left after the information is entered in the field, those bytes should be fille with the binary value 0. You might also think that you cannot write that much in the genre field, being one byte big, but it is more clever than that. The byte value you enter in the genre field corresponds to a value in a predefined list. The list that Eric Kemp created had 80 entries, ranging from 0 to 79.

What is ID3v1.1?
ID3v1 may well be easy to implement for programmers, but it sure is frustrating for those with their own, creative ideas. Since the ID3v1 tag had a fixed size and no space marked "Reserved for future use", there isn't really room for that much improvement, if you want to maintain compatibility with existing software.

One who found a way out was Michael Mutschler who made a quite clever improvement on ID3v1. Since all non-filled fields must be padded with zeroed bytes its a good assumption that all ID3v1 readers will stop reading the field when they encounter a zeroed byte. If the second last byte of a field is zeroed and the last one isn't we have an extra byte to fill with information. As the comments field is to short to write anything useful in the ID3v1.1 standard declares that this field should be 28 characters, that the next byte always should be zero and that the last byte before the genre byte should contain which track on the CD this music comes from.

[Logik]

man u always lose me.

[Zachariah]

man u always lose me.

For the info of song title and artists to show up in car mp3 radios, portables, and the shoutcast system you will need to fill out the ID3v1 tag . If you do not, most systems give a "dash" as the feed title vs. the mp3 file name.

Another note:
ID3v2 tag can be filled out, but if it is blank of data and is enabled to send data then the feed will also show a "dash" w/o file info.

If that is ok.

Then

Are you useing winamp to cast ?
Make sure the Auto has the checks marks and [x] enable title updates

- Change values with in the "quotes" to your shoutcast server settings.

//Configuration
$scdef = "Server Name";
$scip = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
$scport = "8000";
$scpass = "changeme"; // admin password to (not DJ) shoutcast server

Make sure there are no spaces "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ", "password "

//End configuration

Still doesn't work.

I do not see a problem w/ dynamic DNS host. (but, a real IP will respond faster). I see port 8001 vs. 8000.

If you edit your sc_serv.ini file of your shoutcast server config file.

; PortBase. This is the IP port number your server will run on. The
; value, and the value + 1 must be available. If you get a fatal error when
; the DNAS is setting up a socket on startup, make sure nothing else on the
; machine is running on the same port (telnet localhost portnumber -- if you
; get connection refused then you're clear to use that port). Ports < 1024
; may require root privledges on *nix machines. The default port is 8000.
PortBase=8000

Then your server opens another port +1 (IE: 8001) the shoutcast Hack needs to be set to "PortBase". You need to open any firewalls (8000,8001) and port forward them to your local LAN shoucast server if behind a router.

[jesus likes pie]

yes, my portbase is 8001, so I have 8001 and 8002 open in my router. A reak IP doesnt work either...funny because this used to work before, I was using the first release (see my post on page number 1), but then we stopped broadcasting. We started again last night, upgraded, and now it doesn't work...

By the way, the D.J is not hosting the server if that makes a difference.

I installed this last night.... it all worked. I turned it off overnight... went back to it today... doesnt see the server online at all.

Infact... NONE of my shoutcast scripts are working at the moment.... but shoutcast.com sees me...

is there some kind of additional config that maybe defaulted on me? Everything looks normal to me and i have been broadcasting for a few years.... i dunno. Its wierd.

Can you link to your shoutcast server via. listener / web interface ?
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port ?

Understand you may not have problems w/ code. I have seen a few cases that webserver hosts do not allow external script to poll ports that are not port 80.

[Zachariah]

sure that is easy, but that will not be done by Shoutcast Status Full (VB3.5) you need to install the Lite ver. It can access a server w/o a Admin password. There will be less data the hack can get, but your station will show up.

[zell_11]

Mate my media player, real player etd don't work. All they do is load and display done. Do you know what could be wrong?

[BlackxRam]

Mine is working again. Seems if your file for the output track list can get bugged... deleteing the content INSIDE this file completely, (not removing the file itself) then loading up a new playlist and clicking the first few songs got it working again.

Dunno why... but its good now. Dont let that output file get TOO big.

You know there is a delay on the shoutcast servers by almost 30 sec @ time. The XML output on the site is updated before the client will hear the song. If you server is not waiting for the xml long enough.

Admincp => Plugin Manager => Hook Location : forumhome_complete => Shoutcast Status Full - Main => EDIT

Find:
// Parses shoutcasts xml to make an effective stats thing for any website
$scfp = @fsockopen($scip, $scport, &$errno, &$errstr, 1);

value is 1-1000 - this is the delay to get the info in milliseconds. This will also add that delay to your page refreash that the hack is on.

The way it works, is that the request for the info is made and the script will delay untill all data is given from the request or the time value is reached, then displays.

Would this work with an icecast stream? Please say yes... :)

I have not looked @ the output of Icecast. Got a server I can test on / make a hack from ? - if so PM me.

all is well it looks like :)

is this right to the configure

know that 192.168.1.100 is a local LAN IP and not something that you can access from the internet w/o "port forwarding" from your router to your local PC.

Log-in to your router -
There is an area for "port fowarding".
On some routers you can forward a range of ports or 1 at a time.

forward: 8000,8001 => 192.168.1.100.

The settings on the hack must have your WAN IP of your cable/dsl/T1 outside IP. In the router there is a "status" area that will tell you your WAN IP.

Your outside requests for port 8000,8001 will be pushed via router to your shoutcast server.


EX:
my outside cable modem WAN IP / Internet IP - 24.85.56.251
My local LAN IP that the router gives my system - 192.168.5.69

You can connect to your shoutcast server as a client and a DJ via WAN - IP:PORT

Servername is what you want your station to be called.
Scip this is the IP address of where your shoutcast is installed.
Port the port you are using to broadcast through deafault is usually 8000
Password is whatever the password you gave your shoutcast when you originally set it up.

Have you installed shoutcast on your server or PC.

1) XML Cache
- this way there is less requests on the shoutcast server from the website.
- makes the page that the hack is on have less lag time to load.

2) there is some more info the shoutcast server gives that can be collected and displayed.

Like a WOL - Who's on Line
- Client (connected info)
-- IP address - this could be set to be hidden by usergroup access
-- Useragent - IE: useing WinampMPEG/2.9
-- Under Run Count - # times listener gets "LAG"
-- Connection Time - The time the user is tuned in.

I was thinking of making a page w/ a link on the Module to perhaps a pop-up window or a Full page in a new window.

3) Re-do the code in the players so that if the player is selected and is not installed "auto install request" vs. a red X where the plugin should be.

4) Fully Phrased

[Sia Bani]

Is this ok to use on 3.5.1?

[Zachariah]

Yes it is.

[hugh_]

Z,

Were you able to put any thought into Icecast support? I'm really suffereing without it...

hugh

[The Ottoman]

I've got a quick question.

I install the .xml file as instructed to do so via Managed Products, and the moment that I do my website stops responding for the users to the point where I need to uninstall the product for the site to come back online.

Any ideas what would be causing this?

Thanks

[BlackxRam]

There is still issues with this script Zac man. Right now my server is online and running however the script doesnt recognize that it is online. Shoutcast sees it, and other web scripts do as well, but the forum one does not.

Its like hit or miss on whether the script can connect to the SC server. Sometimes it works... sometimes it doesnt.

Edit:
Plugin system - Plugin Manager - Shoutcast Status Full - Main

$scfp = @fsockopen($scip, $scport, &$errno, &$errstr, 1);

The 1 (one) at the end is the delay time to wait for info from the server.
- The less the better. 30 is default usaly.

[BlackxRam]

It was on for over 12 hours last night, never once recognized it. Just to let you know, im not a newbie with these shoutcast scripts, so I know for certain my info is correct and all cause I know that comment is soon to be tossed around heh.

But yeah, 12 hours and nothing doing. Tried multiple reboots and nothing. Any other ideas why its not picking it up? Shoutcast.com sees it, some of my other scripts do but this one is hit or miss. Sometimes it shows, but when it doesnt its usually for LONG periods of time.

[akoj]

This is a great hack but I am not sure what I need to change in order to make the media player, realplayer and quick time links work. As of right now, it keeps defaulting to my home page. Any ideas?

[pixie]

Would this work with an icecast stream? Please say yes... :)



I have not looked @ the output of Icecast. Got a server I can test on / make a hack from ? - if so PM me.

same question for me
This hack is beautifull and i'll be really happy to use with ly icecast server
How can i do ?

Scuse for my bad english....

[Zachariah]

This will not work w/ Icecast.
I will work on a Icecast ver soon.

I am backed up about 3 projects @ the moment. I will see what I can do ASAP.

[pixie]

thank's ? lot for the answer ;)

[Zachariah]

Have you killed the older Ver include revert the templates to make then uninstall ? Then do an update useing the new build.

I have seen many time in Dev that the templates do not like to unistall with the product unistall if they have been edited.

[d8tabyte]

I have this installed, I am broadcasting off a private server http://69.93.182.18:9352 is my feed - if you check it, you will see that it is active yet nothing I do will make the feed apear active on my forum home.

Below is my settings.

// Shoutcast Server Stats
$scdef = "DigitalET Radio - Sponsored by Battlestationradio.net";
$scip = "69.93.182.18";
$scport = "9352";
$scpass = "my password";
$ircsite = "";
//End configuration

I would very much like to use this hack

[d8tabyte]

nothin huh.

Could it be the default name not allowing it - as I dont have a default name in the shoutcast server - or can that be anything

[Pramodinfo]

Zachariah, any update on running two server stats at a time :) ?

[texasasl]

Zachariah I have already installed this nice hack but I'm transmitting in three different bitrates 24kbps - 32kbps - and 40-64kbps. I wish to give my mebers the ability to choose which bitrate they will be listening to. Any idea how I can do this as the original one leads only (for all winamp-WM-RP-QT) to 64kbps.??????
I will be appreciated for your reply and thanks in advance.

[Zachariah]

If you can not connect to the server and the setting you have in the plugin are the same as the above post then you webhost is blocking the option to query other system other than localhost on ports other than port 80.

Send a trouble ticket to your provider.

I want to setup a php script that reads an XML feed on a remote IP:PORT, and my current webserver setting will not allow this.

Please Advise.

In your own words :)
- 9/10 times they will tell you ports that they allow this on.
- 1/10 times they will tell your to "pound sand".

If you do not have a website on the same server as your shoutcast server, set your shoutcast server to port: 80 vs. 8000

- adj. the script accordingly

You could get lucky :D

I am working:
- on multi server support.
- on a Admin "stat page" that shows:
* users connected - table list of (IP address, time online, client software used to listen, buffer underruns)
- other things that I'll have to look over the notes to REM.

I'll take a look @ multi bitrates. Can you PM me your server link w/ multi feeds bitrates?

[d8tabyte]

I said screw the other server, started one up on my home computer and I'll invest in hosting on a shoutcast friendly server - you were right - it was the port tripping me up on my server side... I couldn't see that port from my server... I changed it to 80 on my home comp and its working fine.

Another ? - is it possible to add AJAX to this so it updates soon as a song changes?

My new question is this tho.
I have added a left column to my forum and have moved EVERYTHING from whats going on box to the left column but i have the shoutcast left to do.
How can i move it to a side column ?

[Xplorer4x4]

It would be nice if it saved the cookie data as to weather the table was expanded or collapsed, otherwise awsome hack man.

[Xplorer4x4]

This hack connects to a server and relays its stats / info to your site. The server can be installed anywere as long as the IP can be accessed. You make the server or connect to a server.

The password I talk about is in the shoutcast server software itself. There is a mini web based client and admin section that the shoutcast server software makes on the computer it is installed to. This script needs the admin access to the shoutcast server to get the info to populate the forums w/ live info. It logs in collects the data and returns the info to the client.

The client does not need a password to connect.

I have a shoutcast server setup on a cable modem when I goof around and want to show some friends a few tunes I ran across. @60K upload I can do 16 people @ 24k music quility. (mono .. like AM radio)

Yes it is a hog. The bandwith useage depends on "# of users connected" and the quility of the song in kbps.

uploadspeed / bitrate = max listeners , always leave some for overhead

example in your case 256k uploadspeed / 56k bitrate = max 4 listeners ( 4* 56 = 224kbps ) keep in mind that your provider says he gives you 256kbps upload, the actual speed might be much lower.

Bitrates
192k CD quility
56k stereo
24k mono (like an AM radio, but works for music)
8k voice

BROADCASTING

Persons wanting to broadcast will need to run their own server, as per the instructions below, or find someone willing to run one for them. Once a server's located, broadcasters use Winamp and a plug-in called the SHOUTcast Source for Winamp Plug-In to send audio from Winamp to the SHOUTcast server. The tools are available here, and there's an entire section of the documentation dedicated to the plug-in.

RUNNING A SERVER

The magic of the SHOUTcast system happens inside the SHOUTcast Distributed Network Audio Server (DNAS). This software runs on a server attached to an IP network with lots of bandwidth, and is responsible for receiving audio from a broadcaster, updating the SHOUTcast directory with information about what the broadcaster is sending, and sending the broadcast out to listeners. More information is in the server section of the documentation.

More info (http://www.shoutcast.com/support/docs/)

So are you saying htis is going to be pretty high bandwidth on our forums server(not shoutcast server). I assumed it would not as the RSS News feed hack is installed on one of my forums and it is not very server intensive running like 8 feeds updating every minuete or so.

[andrefedalto]

thanks dude, it works like a charm for me :)

**/me clicks install**

[Zachariah]

it keep saying "Currently our shoutcast server is down."
i tried everything but not working

any help?
thankz

[MissKalunji]

your host probably block that port

[itorrents]

If the port was blocked the radio wouldn't work, has nothing to do with the hack :) in your serv_conf file you need to set 2 passwords, make sure your adding the admin pass to the plug-in, if your using the domain name in the plug-in config try using the IP addy instead.

how wouldnt the radio be playing?

where is the radio streaming? from the pc or a shoutcast server

look in the thread you'll see for yourself

if your webhost BLOCKS the port you wont be able TO FEED

/* -----------------8/27/2005 6:23pm-----------------
This is a Nice hack to add Shoutcast Status on your VB3.5 Forum Home.

SHOUTcast is a free-of-charge audio homesteading solution. It permits anyone
on the internet to broadcast audio from their PC to listeners across the
Internet or any other IP-based network (Office LANs, college campuses, etc.).

This script pulls the XML data from a shoutcast server.

Hi everyone,

I Just installed and did what it says in install.txt but in the main page it does not display the song info.

It says that the server is off but It's not. I am not the admin, I have a password to use on Winamp to broadcast, I bought this hosting service.

It that password enough ?

If yes, what can be the problem ? I have entered IP correctly, Port correctly and Password correctly. What else should be wrong ?

[Zachariah]

Hi everyone,

I Just installed and did what it says in install.txt but in the main page it does not display the song info.

It says that the server is off but It's not. I am not the admin, I have a password to use on Winamp to broadcast, I bought this hosting service.

It that password enough ?

If yes, what can be the problem ? I have entered IP correctly, Port correctly and Password correctly. What else should be wrong ?

The "full" ver. of this hack needs Admin password to access the data. (there is admin, DJ password)

Lite ver. you can just use IP and port, but less info can be gathered.

[Orcun]

Thx for quick reply. I read the whole topic.

I was unable to find out the output of

$scfp = @fsockopen($scip, $scport, &$errno, &$errstr, 1); // Connect to the server

I asked my host, and he said that they closed fopen which Php uses to write XML.

I switched to Crontab. And entered the command. Here's the result I have.

/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/bin/lynx: Permission denied

I have -auth=admin:xxx password because I have access to Admin panel of my Shoutcast server.

Well, I think I did my best :)

Next step is I want to make Lynx enable. I cant persuade my host to enable fopen etc.

For triggerin Issues, I want this script only to read cast.xml from my hoe directory and Dont execute the fsocket, fopen commands. I should reduce the load a bit.

How can I do that ?

Make cron the grabbing info from Shoutcast.
Make This Script to only read xml file on my host.

Thanks in advance.

P.S: I have a Problem with the cron command I think.

*/5 * * * * lynx -auth=admin:dNASpasshere -source http://dNAS-IP-Or-Domain:port/admin.cgi?mode=viewxml 1> /webserver/path/public_html/filename.xml

Should be

5 * * * * lynx -auth=admin:dNASpasshere -source http://dNAS-IP-Or-Domain:port/admin.cgi?mode=viewxml > /webserver/path/public_html/filename.xml

I removed */ part from the beginning and 1> from the lynx source .

Is the first one true of false ?
If it is true can you please explain why */5 instead of only 5 and 1> instead of only >

I searched some documentation but I was unable to find anything.

[Orcun]

I checked if fopen is closed, NO !

Well, I manually pulled the XML file from Shoutcast server. Uploaded it to specified dir and refreshed.

Still says the Radio is Offline. But there is a XML filled radio.xml file which has a static info in it.

I specified the path for file as /home/forumtur/public_html/radio.xml

Are there anything wrong you see ?

What about this ?


// Add:
$domain = "www.domainhere.com"; // The domain to retrieve the xml
$xmlfile = "filename.xml"; //xml filename from your saved stdout 1>

// Change
$scfp = fsockopen($domain, 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 1);

// Change
fputs($scfp,"GET /$xmlfile HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: SHOUTcast Song Status (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n");

[Orcun]

Where will I add this info ?

The plugin at the forumhome hook also grab those values from $vbulletin_options -> etc.

Sorry but I didn't understand what u mean.

$scdef = $vbulletin->options['scname_full'];
$scip = $vbulletin->options['scip_full'];
$scport = $vbulletin->options['scport_full'];
$scpass = $vbulletin->options['scpass_full'];

$cache_tolerance = $vbulletin->options['scupdate_full'];

Options are grabbed by plugin. What else ?

[Orcun]

Well, I changed the plug-in code just to use the XML file written by Lynx.
Also, when I remove @fsockopen, It says It cannot connect to the IP specified on port 5555.

fsockopen should be blocked by a Firewall.

Here's the new code for the plugin.

$scdef = $vbulletin->options['scname_full'];
$scip = $vbulletin->options['scip_full'];

// Check if Cache needs an update
if (file_exists($file)) {
clearstatcache();
$time_difference = time() - filemtime($file);

[HHU]

I'm unable to get this to display on my forum home template?

Uploaded the images, installed the product-shoutcast_home_full.xml and uploaded the other xml to my server, which I'm not sure if I'm supposed to install or not, but when I do try it states "
XML Error: not well-formed (invalid token) at Line 1"

But nothing is displaying on my Forumhome, no drop down box or anything at all regarding this hack?

Everything is installed correctly though.... thanks

Did you hit the "collapse / expand" image on the table ?
- $streamhits is what your looking for

Zach.... did you manage to figure out what the issue was or should I just go delete that admin account, beacuse it's installed correctly but definately not showing up

[unitedpunjab]

it doesn't work for me.... :( i tried diffrent shoutcast address but every time it just shows the shoutcast server is offline....

[The Realist]

Is your server running a firewall?
Do you have the port open Shoutcast uses?
Can you connect to shoutcast ok?
Do you have the correct details within the shoutcast settings in admincp?

Any progress on the multi streams yet...

[Pete C]

I've been using the previous version on my 3.0.9 board for several months and no problems. I'm now setting up another domain (2nd licence purchased) using vB 3.5.4. I've installed this version (Shoutcast Status Full - vB3.5), entered IP, Port and ADMIN password and it says Shoutcast Down - even though the stream is up and running. I can hear it, my other forum displays it. Trying to figure if I've missed something, or whether it could be firewall settings on my hosts server. Any clues would be appreciated guys - this has been a great hack so far - just can't make it work on 3.5.4 :(

*NB The ACP shows the Shoutcast controls, there were no errors during the install - I'm pretty sure it's installed correctly - it simply can't "see" the stream.

[Zachariah]

@Belder

Did you give it a little time ?
- XML Data Cache by default has a 3 min delay before data will update.

[Pete C]

Thanks for the reply Zachariah. I did give it quite a while - the stream was up for over 2 hrs. I double checked the settings, and refreshed the board frequently - it's just not detecting the stream.

[Zachariah]

Any progress on the multi streams yet...

I have not progressed yet as far as a date, but I do have a multi server ver working.
Current Ver. supports 4 stations.

To do:
- I want to work out a cron job to get data updates still.
- I also want to workout multi bitrates.
- Shoutcast video support

[Pete C]

Ok mine is sorted. The server is firewalled . . so my host opened the relevant ports and everything is working as it should. Well, I knew it couldn't be my fault :D

Great hack by the way - I'll go click the Install button now :banana:

This is limited to 1 server.
- I am worken on a ver to support multi servers. (still crazy busy)

I do have a standalone php (http://www.gzhq.net/demo/scastfull/) ver. (1 station)
You could rig 3 installs and create a display page.

[shockx5]

Alright thats cool man. for now i can just switch out the info its not too much of a problem. i look forward to the multi server release.

Some web hosts block the option to query other servers on any port other than 80.
Some web hosts also limit the use of fsockopen.

Shoot a e-mail to your web host and see if there is some restrictions, and what can be done (if anything).

they have told me they are not blocking anything

[RMS-Chef]

This might be worth mentioning for others who run into the same problem.

I have vBAdvanced as my index.php and FORUMHOME is forum.php. The player popups were failing and simply loading my index.php home page into the small popup generated. Took me a while to figure it out but the forumhome_shoutcast template at the top has index.php hardcoded into the javascript popup code here:
function scastmp(){
scastmpWindow = window.open("index.php?do=mp","mp","width=360,height=75");
}
function scastrp(){
scastrpWindow = window.open("index.php?do=rp","rp","width=420,height=160");
}
function scastqt(){
scastqtWindow = window.open("index.php?do=qt","qt","width=330,height=50");
}


I had to edit the index.php in each instance to forum.php in order to get the popup media players to function properly.

EDIT:
Perhaps replace the "index.php" with "$vboptions[forumhome].php" in the three locations in that portion of the template on your next update release? That is what I just did and it seems to work fine. Thanks a bunch for a great hack sir!

Good idea ;)

[DJ XtAzY]

hey im wondering if this is a good idea.

i have many peeps who would like to shoutcast, however i can only restrict this to just one shoutcast server (which is my machine). I was wondering if this is possible. Have some sort of queueing system. If a person wants to shoutcast, they will need to sign up for an available slot (say 5 slots). The next person who wants to shoutcast, they will need to sign up and will be put in the next available slot. When they signup for a slot, they need to put in the ip server. The first slot will play the shoutcast user for like 1hour (or the amount u want to limit) and it will move on to the next shoutcaster. If the shoutcast server doesnt work, it will move onto the next person
