Was there any fix to use the code within the header? I thought it would be a great idea to place this in the header and did all I can do. It does work on the home page header but not the forums header.

Thanks.

Are you refering to the vb3.6 version?

woops :laugh:
- yes Ill work on a 3.5 ver today.

:rolleyes:

Nice work, thanks!

First Zachariah I would like to say thank you :)

I do have this SC mod up and running but I have one question. Is there a way for the mod to display above header across the whole site?

Thanks

You should be able to move the hook location from formhome_compleet to global_start. In the settings area of the hack change the location to "custom".

This will allow you to place $scast in say the header template or navbar template that shows up on each page.

The hook location, didn't even cross my mind. Thank you very much its all up and running swell.

Thank you many times sir :D

This worked for me except the styles and language variables aren't being applied to the custom players (media player, quicktime, etc) at the following location:

Although it could be my problem because I'm using Logitian's WebTemplates, can you suggest a fix?

hugh

I imported the product, uploaded the files, chmod'ed the xml in the forum root, started shoutcast and got the server IP at whatismyip.com, went to the ACP and entered the settings including the default port of 8000, yet when I open my forum I am getting the dreaded "Currently our shoutcast server is down." message. I went to shoutcast.com and did a search and am coming up on the list of servers (I even downloaded the .pls file for my server to make sure I had the IP entered correctly), yet vbulletin is not working with shoutcast. I have read through this thread, and this seems to be a common problem, but I have also read where people have tweaked it and gotten it fixed, but they didn't say exactly how they did it. Any ideas or help on where to look first?

One setting that has me confused is "Please enter in the Update time of your shoutcast station.
Note: seconds untill cache update." Perhaps this is where my problem is? Where do I find out this info?

^Same thing I'd like to know

I had the same problem streaming from my PC,always showing on my forum as offline what i did was use port 80,and it worked straight away,my forum host for someunknown reason didnt like port 8000

hi!

what happend with the implementation of icecast? is there a hack or something?

thank u!

greetz

I have not played w/ icecast a lot. I have it on the to'do list, but those flex now and then.

thanks so much great hack!!!

SC server down? ive applied my password and port everything... still dosent work?? Anybody?

To put less load on the shoutcast server and to speed up page loads. The shoutcast info the script gets is cached to your local webserver in a XML file. The XML file is called up when there is a request to show the data. If your cache file does not update then you are not connecting to the shoutcast server. (cache file is always "zero" kb)

9 out of 10 times this is because of settings (port,ip,password) or your webhost has blocked ports in their firewall. Many hosts only allow queries for data on port 80 (http, rss, xml feeds). This hack will pull the XML feed from your shoutcast server port. I have seen many webhosts designate a port for "other" needs of their clients.

If you are 100% sure your setting and install is correct.

Send a ticket to your webhost and see if ports are blocked (ie:8000). If so they may give you another port you can use. Reset your shoutcast server to output on that port. Lastly, if there is nothing that your host will do, you can move the shoutcast server to output on port 80 vs. 8000 and your webhost should read the feed.

do you have for cmps block? Thank!

thanks its working.. they have opened us the requested port so its all good..

Can you explain the xml a bit more i understand the caching bit etc.. this option:

Please enter in the Update time of your shoutcast station.
Note: seconds untill cache update

if i set this to 5 will it be recommended? as tracks are changed quite often.
Also sometimes it dosent update without a refresh... or is a refresh required all the time?

Cheers!

I am doing a redesign on the cache system.
- Currently the cache file is updated w/ visitor refresh after the set time frame.

I plan to move this to a cron scheduled event.

You can change the speed of the update on the cache file, but it will put more hits on you shoutcast server.
- I defaulted at 3 min. (ie: 3 min song)

that will be superb ....m waiting for it...
