ok ... I host my own shoutcast server as well as admin my own ports.... I have my default port for shoutcast set at 8000 and my broadcast program is encoding.. I have people that can "hit" listen to my broadcasts but for somereason the hack always says the shoucast server is allways down.......

I have verified the password aswell as the ports and everything is right....
I also changed the cache setting to :chmod 666 still nothing ... what might I be doing wrong?

Any help would be AWSOME

I want to expand later by tracking songs played.

Can you give us a general idea of when this might be available?

Thanks...

I don't think that you find here shoutcast Hack for 3.7.x
I have 3.7.3 board and i use shoutcast hack for 3.6.x and is working fine.
Only with the CMPS shoutcast hack i get problems..

[Zachariah]

I have it running on vBulletin? Version 3.8.0 Beta 1.
- no problems

If your server is off line all the time, your webhost is stoping the querry to your remote shoutcast system (9 out of 10 times). Many hosts block all ports via firewall except 80. Send a e-mail to your host about what ports are open that you can use to read a xml feed other than port 80.

I completely forgot about checking for an update on this, I still have the 3.5 version working on my 3.7.3 / 3.8 beta boards. Any reason to upgrade to the 3.6 version if it's working fine?

TIA.

There will be a newer version for multi-servers later on.

Forgive me for asking what may be a stupid question but my host blocked my port, and after reading on here I asked them to open it again.
They re-opened the port and it's now working fine again but now they are asking me "How much data will you pull through this port?", Well my answer was I have no idea......lol

Since I am a newbie to all of this, can anyone answer this for me?

I run a shoutcast server every night of the week for approx 5 - 6 hrs.

Sorry if this shouldn't be in this thread, didn't know where else to postit.

The majority of data is from your shoutcast server to the client.

The only data you are getting from shoutcast server to webhost is 4.8k per refreash of your cache file.
If your cache file is set to update every 3 min = 20 times an hour = 96KB hour = 576KB for a 6 hour show.

That is if the cache file updates every 3 min
