Help Help Help Purdy Please
 

;) Hi All I'm a new manager of a new station. I figured out how to do mostly everything. But I just have two questions I need help with.
First Question:When I visit other radio stations, On there web site it will say what song is playing now on there website name of the song and the artist. How would I do that to my site? What code would I need.
Second Question: Also On other stations they have winamp and real player icons that say hi and low and dial up. so that all types of listners can listen. Where would I get the code for that and where would I get a music ticker for that also? if anyone can help please post or email me twistedwhispers2001@yahoo.com I have been trying to figure it out for ever lol. if like to check out my station it's www.eternityradio.tk still under construction. But can still listen thanks to anyone who helps. :up:

Aloha!

Check out the SHOUTcast Technical Support Sticky post titled...
SHOUTcast: Important Info & Answers to FAQs. READ ME!

Scroll down a bit and look for the section titled...
General SHOUTcast Information -> SHOUTcast ToolBox (All sorts of nifty add-ons for SHOUTcast)

1. The PHP based XML parser is a complete solution and comes ready for you to customize.

2. The Javascript parser (actually ASP) is another complete solution and comes ready for you to customize.
Note: Apparently this link isn't working anymore.
Try this thread for other ASP options.

For Windows Media Player, use an asx file.

Create an asx file pointing to your DNAS and place it on a webserver with the approproite mime types.

Example (simple) asx:

code:
<asx version="3.0">

  <title>title</title>

  <entry>

    <title>title</title>

    <author>author</author>

    <ref href="http://dnas-ip:dnas-portBase/"/>

  </entry>

</asx>

Please note the trialing slash after the portBase.

Or, have folks simply open your stream in WMP directly with http://dnas-ip:dnas-portBase/

*********************

For Real Player, use a ram file.

Create a ram file pointing to your DNAS and place it on a webserver with the approproite mime types.

Example (simple) ram:

code:
http://dnas-ip:dnas-portBase/listen.pls

that's the part I don't get what is a asx file and a ram? thanks twisted

For the .asx (WMP).. put the following in a notepad document and then save it as <whatever>.asx

code:
<asx version="3.0">

  <title>TITLE</title>

  <entry>

    <title>TITLE</title>

    <author>AUTHOR</author>

    <ref href="http://yourIP:yourPORT/"/>

  </entry>

</asx>

Of course, change things to fit your needs.
Note: This only works in WMP 7.1 and up
Note the trialing slash after "yourPORT"

For the .ram file to open a RealPlayer stream, enter the following into a notepad document:

code:
http://yourIP:yourPORT.rm

Then save that as <whatever>.ram

Simply upload those to your website and link them and they will open in the appropriate player.

ok I know how to do the stream for cable users. how would I make it so dialupers can listen to or is that not possible?

Dial-up listeners need a 24k or tiny bit higher stream.

ok how would I do that to my stream or what ever sorry I'm new to all this and my last quest is how do I get winamp and real player to open up witht he icon the choose to listen with winamp or real plaery tyvm

ok here is my listen please settings http://24.10.206.233:8000/listen.pls how exactly do I do the code I just dont get it tried 100 times windows meadia player wont open it if you can do an example with my listen settings that be awesome thanks.

http://24.10.206.233:8000/listen.pls :up:

Copy the code into a notepad document. Edit it. Save it as <whatever>.asx or <whatever>.ram. Upload it to your webserver. Enjoy.

I tried all that it will load windows meadiplayer but wont play the file any ideas thanks

Please post a link to your ASX.

Does your webserver have the correct MIME types?

Don't forget that the .asx script only works with WMP 7.1+
