which extensions can be played by shoutcast? i suppose all supported by winamp/WMP/QT but.. just to be sure

i need to plan the band usage in relation to file format (maybe i'll run AAC or similar to save bandwidth)

- sc_sevr.ini (on the shoutcast server)

; ShowLastSongs specifies how many songs to list in the /played.html
; page.  The default is 10.  Acceptable entries are 1 to 20.
ShowLastSongs=20

this isn't working anymore. I have the correct IP and port and my SHOUTcast DNAS is up and connected through Winamp. It use to work, now it doesn't connect anymore, just keeps sayin "Currently our shoutcast server is down." "Shoutcast is Down". Ideas?

[Alpe]

I have the same problem Currently our shoutcast server is down

I will post this here also, triying to get to the botom of this and hoping peoplee look into their logs to see if they been exploited. The pointing of fingers can come later.

If you are familiar with php my admin look for users born in january 1 1980. All my bogus accounts had that birth date.

If you have access to the apache logs look for

//register.php


For some reason that always shows when they send the create command.


If you find some of those things on your logs then go here and report it;

I know this is not fair to this great mod and I am not saying that it is the culprit. Just doing a process of elimination and starting from the last mods I installled prior to the problem.

ibProArcade does not has any reference to register.php or creating accounts, so this is impossible to be responsible for such things.

You should better investigate before posting such things and make others fear something that is not possible here

This is a very basic hack to show shoutcast status.
- it is not the problem.

I have a mess of hacks installed in my site. With no problems of user Register.
- I'll take a look @ logs and see what I can find on my server.
