In the next version.
I'll put in the option to use popup players or external links.

Edit template:
forumhome_shoutcast_full
forumhome_shoutcast_lite
forumhome_shoutcast_who_full
forumhome_shoutcast_who_lite

Change to:

What will you put in the next version? The modules or ajax/realtime?

I want to yes, but I need to do a lot more code work on it. :)

Hello,

Warning: fopen(CHMOD 777): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /includes/shoutcast/scast.php on line 101

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /includes/shoutcast/scast.php on line 102

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /includes/shoutcast/scast.php on line 103

Warning: fopen(CHMOD 777): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/shoutcast/scast.php on line 106

excuse me for my ignaance but i dont know nothing from coding
thanks

i would also to mention that it is not working and apparently i have made somewhere a mistake!

You need to CHMOD scast.xml..... I have no idea how many times Zacharia has already said that..... So, back on topic, any idea on how much longer until the next release?

Anyone :confused:

I have plans for something like that.
- Give me a day or so.

thanks its working :D

Oke thanks :up:

Its stopped loading up the players, I have today upgraded apache and php. Now when I click on real, media player or quicktime it loads the main site page in the window, instead of the player.

Any Help please.

and how far are you already !!

i was wondering if the next version can let u add multiple shoutcase server, like some peeps have one shoutcast server for a specific genre of music. I setup up like 3 different shoutcase server on 3 different ports.

Having problems getting it to work....

Installed according to instructions...cmod777 the right file.


running music off a pc and not off the server I am runing forums from...
do I put the forum server IP in the table..or the individual pc's IP in the table?


and majorly confused about the port....received this back from my ISP
"Due to security reasons, we do not open any ports outside of what is already
open on our server for web, ftp, mail traffic, etc. You should be able to,
however, use XML communication without problem on the server. For example,
I have quite a few PHP-based XML queries running on a number of sites that
function with no issue. I do not specify a port in the code, and it uses
whatever open HTTP it first finds for communication."

any thoughts, suggestions?

very nice, i will look into this in more detail later

Hello Zachariah,

Any update on your post at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=177 re streaming music from the server when no live DJ is present?

Thanks.

same here :( :o

dumb question but how do i set it to show on everypage?

Any idea on the ajax/realtime now? Just really love this hack :D

Go to settings:
1. Set Location to CUSTOM
2. Go to plugins list and find Shoutcast Status Full - Main and set the hook start to global_start
3. Then go to a template, i.e. navbar and put this command under <!-- / nav buttons bar -->:
$scast

Thats all. I had this wish too and have read the whole thread :)

and are you already :erm:

I understand the wants and needs for new toys.
I am in a project that needs to be finish up first before I start.

Please bare with the delays.
- I need to work on the CMPS and other portal blocks too :D.

my load avarage is after installing this plugin increased to >8.00..
if disable <3.00
this is extremly bad.

Load on what ?

This makes an fsockopen() call to an external IP and port, gets XML output and shows it on a page.

The average server load Zachariah. Can I only show the media links if radio is on? Makeable without 'fsockopen..' ?

Regards:up:
I really like your hacks.

Slight problem here - although I'm pleased to say it's the first one I've had with this hack.

I changed the hook start to global_start. Changed the display location to Custom and placed it (below navbar) on several further pages on my site. Problem now is that neither the Stats or History will display. Is this a trade-off because of using a custom setting, or am I missing an edit somewhere?

This is a known issue.

My solution: delete the html codes in according with the problem above.. Its not big if you have no history.. But the real problem is the load average.. Your forum runs anyway fast with this plugin?

I'm really not sure what you mean by "deleting the html codes" ?? Nor do I yet see how this would cause the stats and history to display again. If this is a known issue when using the Custom setting, then I guess it may be a choice between having the full display on ForumHome, or a limited display on all pages. Maybe you (or anyone affected by this) could be a little more specific about the code you're referring to?

As regards server loads, this really isn't an issue. As Zachariah has already said, the call is to an external IP for XML output. The only time server loads would be affected is if the actual SHOUTcast stream was running on the same server as your forums.

My own site runs just as fast with or without this plug-in installed.

Edit/update : Just reading back through this thread I've noted this is something Zachariah is/will be working on. I'm happy to wait until he's got it done . . but an update on progress would be helpful . . .

Zachariah just a dumb question :confused:. Can I use this for online radio streaming? Let me explain. I don't have shoutcast server. My friend has online radio server. Now if I know the IP & Port then can I be able to use it with this modification?

Online radio ?
What are they streaming with ?

Icecast ?
Shoutcast ?
Windows Media Server ?

This is just a simple interface with a shoutcast radio server.

As mentioned before, can we get a % on this progress?

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 :)

it show me always offline :|

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.
