I will have that hack done soon.

ooo haha, My Bad

HEY question, that scrollin marquee with the song title and that, does that auto update when the song changed, with out refreshing the page?

If it doesn't, is there a way to edit the script so that its fixed and not scrolling?

Thanks

Hi,

I've got my Shoutcast server up and running fine on my machine, the shoutcast is listenable from elsewhere but I can't seem to get it running on my board, it just keeps telling me 'currently our shoutcast server is down'.

These are my settings:

Server name = the server name I've got in my Shoutcast Server
Server IP = My IP
Port: 8000
Server Pasword: same as my server password
Server IRC: Not sure what to put here - I can't find a DJ DSP setting on WinAmp so it's currently blank
Server Cache: the scast_home.xml is in the forum root directory and set to 777
Server update 120

Any advice on what I've missed or cocked up would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mine did the same thing, the only thing you change, is your Server Name, The IP and then the Password, and you can change the refresh time to like 20, that should work, if it doesn't let me know, and I can come to ur site and help you fix it, Also, be sure you "chmod" your shoutcast.xml to 777, I forgot to do that, and it woudn't work. do the chmod first if you haven't already

@Goatpod

If you are sure that your shoutcast server is setup and there are no issues with firewalls and ports. Your webhost may not allow external queries to ports other than 80.

To test this, set your shoutcast server to port 80 (default web port) and see if your stats show up. If all is well, contact your webhost and ask if there are ports other than 80 that are open and can be used to request an XML feed from. (IE: shoutcast status php script). You may be in luck.

I'm having the same problem.

Everything is installed the scast_home.xml file is CHMOD'd but it says the server is down.

This worked fine with the old version with no problems, since i updated it hasnt worked.

[thedvs]

server down usually means noone is streaming to your shoutcast or your shoutcast server isnt running properly...

[Mini-Moose]

I've CHMOD scast_home.xml and filled in all the stuff in the options but i didn't know what to put in IRC server so i left it as what it was. When i connected it just said the radio is offline.
can anyone help?
