SHOUTcast is a free-of-charge audio homesteading solution. It permits anyone

*FIX for the shoutcast not showing up online is this:

Find this code in the /includes/shoutcast/scast.php file

on line 119

Origional Code:

fputs($scfp, "GET /admin.cgi?pass=$scpass&mode=viewxml HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: SHOUTcast Song Status (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n");

Fixed code to make shoutcast work

fputs($scfp, "GET /admin.cgi?sid=1&pass=$scpass&mode=viewxml HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: SHOUTcast Song Status (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n");

You change ?sid=1 change the 1 value to whatever stream you are trying to get shown on the forums

I am thinking of ajax tabs or something similar to display data and compress the footprint on the page.

[doctorsexy]

Be nice if it would also resize to the off line page .. havent found anything yet..

How about a side block version (not CMS)

I have ask permission from Zachariah to post this small update.

Basically what this version does is the same as original, but with added feature

the scrolling 'Now Playing' auto updates (ajax) when song changes.

So no need to click refresh to see latest song title

for demo click HERE

You will need to edit 1 file (playing.php) with your shoutcast details in upload folder as described in Install.txt

Once again thanks to Zachariah for this great mod

:up:

Tested on vB 4.x
