Auto Site Updates?

Hey,

On quite a few sites i've been on now they have had some script that displays the Stream Title, Current song and previous songs etc.

Can anyone tell he how to do this?

Thanks

Please learn to search the forums, as this has been asked many, many, many times before.

The actual search for Web Updates brings up stuff but I dont even know anythin about these updates

Search for "now playing" or "recently played"

A typical solution to this is to use a database on the backend.

Everything we play is stored in a database, we match up what is currently playing with the database then do a record insert.

This gives us the ability to provide a custom display of previously played mixes.

You could easily get this information from the shoutcast servers xml then display it as you wish.

Hope this helps.
