Make sure the MP3's you are streaming to the server have their ID3 tags filled out.
- Title, Artist

That info in each Mp3 is decoded and sent to the shoutcast server.

I have this installed and working on 3.7.2, worked first time.....Great Mod, but,

OK STUPID question time..............

What I would like to do is put this in my forumdisplay template so that it shows up no matter where on the forum people are.

We get a lot of new members that don't know the radio is on the forumhome page.

Is it possible to have this, maybe by editing the xml file or copying templates across to forumdisplay or both ?????

If it's not then that's ok, i'll have to post links all over my forum for the thicko's that can't find it......LOL

Use the custom tag and place it anywhere you want.

Also, will we see an AJAX update?

I've experienced the same problem today. One user stopped streaming and when another started the plugin said the radio was offline even though the shoutcast was running fine. I've tried reinstalling the entire mod and to no success. Any help would be appreciated.

I can do that for the Forumhome page but not for others...........

I realize this is a old mod but I saw where you mentioned you were working on a way to have multiple or favorite stations listed. Was that ever finished?

Finished ?
- not yet, but lots of progress

Attachment 87346

- database backend stations list
- I have 75% done an option that will allow DJ profiles / bios

I want to expand later by tracking songs played.

This isn't working for me on 3.7 sadly. It's constantly saying the radio is offline...
