Module CMPS: Shoutcast Status Full

/* -----------------12/06/2004 10:45AM-----------------
Shoutcast Status Full 1.2 - CMPS Module

This is a Module for CMPS to place Shoutcast Status in a block. :alien:

Hope it helps !!! Zack - http://www.gzhq.net

There are 4 types of this script here on vb.org:

1) CMPS: Shoutcast Status Lite
2) CMPS: Shoutcast Status Full
3) Shoutcast Status Lite (forum home)
4) Shoutcast Status Full (forum home)

This script pulls the XML data from a shoutcast server.

CREDITS:
GeZuS P - for giving me a leg up on some code.

(this hack requires a password form the shoutcast admin to pull stream information.) --- Module CMPS: Shoutcast Status Lite does not need one.

- Something that came to mind. You can take this add-on and rename the shoutcast.php file to say "shoutcast1.php, shoutcast2.php, etc." and make multi-blocks to get feeds from different servers. They all can use the same templates.


Changelog:
1.2 - 02.22.05
- Added: DJ ICQ, DJ AIM, IRC Server and Room, 2 images
Edited: cleaned up code in templates and php file.

1.1 Fixed - 12.07.04
- shoutcast.php file to show offline if sever IP can not be reached.
To update replace shoutcast.php file.

If you choose not to show any/all:

Variables used.
Here is a list of variables that can be used in your "adv_portal_shoutcast". If do not wish to show data, just remove the variables.

$servertitle = "Discription" - setting in DJ - DSP (I used for DJ Name).
$servergenre = - setting in DSP.
$bitrate = Quility of the Bitrate - setting in DJ - DSP .
$icq = ICQ# of DJ - setting in DJ - DSP.

If there is no server for the script to interact with it will error. I'll have to look @ <if> no server <then> show template.

If your shoutcast server is on-line but no one is DJing it will show off line status. If the server is shut off it errors.

yep its the errors when the server is off thats causeing the problems

Imagine this - your ip changes from the one in your config file and u not updated it) now people on your board will be getting that error until u return and fix it and with the amount of errors it throws up i cant see anyone sitting there watching screens of the same error code.
Not knocking your hack m8 just saying its needs a backup just in case it cant connect.

ya, I am reading up on If no fsockopen connect then offline template. I almost got it done.

good going harrybutt. it works beautifully now.

[lasto]

nice going m8 and really appreciae the time u took to solve this small problem

/me clicks installs and says `thank u m8`

This works great, well done.

I would love to see this to be incorporated elsewhere as well, perhaps with the option of a significantly more compact template.

This seems to be the best hack for a long period of time.

Thank you sir, for the flowers. I have seen tons better, but I did miss doing shout casts and thought it would be cool to have a stat / on-line indicator.
