Hi,

I have installed this plugin but I dont know why the radio is shown offline when the shoutcast server is already running. Can anyone advise on this?

I just read through the whole entire posts but still left confused. Is there a way I could just use one of the SHOUTcast's most popular stations instead of mine?

actualy...how does this whole hack work? i have to install shoutcast from shoutcast.com and run the program on my server?

Hello,
Yes there is a few things you can do.


1) IP:PORT of shoutcast server of choice. (no password needed)
- This will give you player options and what is playing.
- Does not need shoutcast server admin password

Server Name
4 media layers (winamp, quicktime, media player, real player)
Bitrate
Current Song
Users Connected
User Max
Online / Offline status
XML Data Cache


2) IP:PORT and DJ/Admin password of a personal server you / friend hosts.
- Needs Shoutcast server Admin / DJ password

Server Name
Song History
4 media layers (winamp, quicktime, media player, real player)
DJ Name
Bitrate
Current Song
Media Type
Most Ever Connected
Hit Count
Users Connected
Avj. Connect Time
User Max
Online / Offline status
XML Data Cache

============================================
Hosting a shoutcast server is bandwidth intensive.

I have hosted a servers on:
- cable modem
- SDSL
- T1
- Webhost package that allows unlimited bandwidth and SSH to install server.

DJ / Bcast:
- Remotely from any workstation to the server
- Upload MP3's to the server and install a DSP that loops a playlist

hey Zachariah
I will use your script on a non-vb page is that possible? If yes, how to do that please?

Thanks Bro Updated Install :)

i put chmod 777 to scast_home.xml file :|

help?

NB

i dont have /forums/ directory but i have /forum/ ... it changes something??

can u add a debugger? so if there is a firewall problem it show what error cause the error...

thx

I have a standalone script.
I'll get a link for download in a day or so.

The big problems most of the time is with the webhost that the script is installed on.
For security reasons many hosts block ports other than 80 for data retrieval.

Shoot a letter to your host asking what ports are open in the firewall for a custom PHP script to remotely retrieve XML data from your shoutcast server.

- Your host may have a "set port" set aside for all external traffic. If so, you can adjust your shoutcast server to the port your web host can query.

- Your host might open a requested port (IE: 8000 default shoutcast ) or the port you are using on your shoutcast server.

Hey there Zach, i dunno if you ever tought about this but i have been looking for a way to make a frame that would allow any user logged in to my site to listen to my radio .."autoplay".

We are still waiting for your next version to fix the few remaining bugs.

Autoplay is a setting within each player. (WMP, QT, REAL)

I do not have a lot of experience w/ flash yet, but I am keeping an eye out for a nice player to add to the mix.

Hiho Zachariah this would be great, I am waiting for it.
