Cannot get the details - ShoutCast

mxb · 17th March 2006, 19:32

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem getting the info from shoutcast server.

Actually SC server works just fine.. I'm able to connect, play songs and all on my linux server, PHP grabs the info and shows normally, songname, bitrates, listeners etc..

this FAILS when I try to do with some other server, I've tried to upload the same files and tried on the other server, and it doesn't work.. says:

Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to 21x.xxx.xxx.xx:9000 in /home/mxb/public_html/radio/parse.php on line 7

what could be the problem? pls lend me a hand on this one, thanks.

My guess would be the webserver you uploaded the files to does not support outbound fsock connections which many cheap webhosts do not. As the server does not support that outbound connection to your server the script will not work and will display this type of error.

Thanks for your reply MegaRock..

I've checked out some other function using the fsock php command on that same webserver, it works just fine.. so that isn't the problem, but then what is?

are you absolutely sure you have the correct IP address pluged into the config files???

mxb · 18th March 2006, 06:55

yes, I'm 100% sure, else it wouldn't work on my server on the 1st place.

with the same settings MediaPlayer plugin for FF works, but getting details fails.. no idea why.. it's strange, does it have anything to do with the shoutcast server? I'm puzzled.

it probably has little to do with the SHOUTcast server; all that does is send music out for you ...

I thought the same too, but I wanted to make sure..

The radio is working just fine on server 1, where the SC is running.

The same script faild to run on a webserver. What could be the problem?

sorry.. here is a screenshot

fc*uk · 18th March 2006, 18:06

hmmmmmmmm .... are you broadcasting two streams from the same server and trying to get stats on both the streams??? If yes, then what about the port number that the script is erroring on.... is that indeed correct? Is some other process using that port causing that error? You may wanyt to look into a port scanner and see what is going on...

Thats right, I'm broadcasting 2 streams from the same server, but steam 1 uses 7000, 7001, and stream 2 uses 9000 and 9001, ports are opened for both. If the ports are being used by some other program, that means the radio streams shouldn't work on the same server, but it works on the same server as you may have noticed from the screenshot.

Hi,
I've look at the port.. in the unix system, the results are following...

code:


LISTEN     sc_serv2

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9001            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     sc_serv2

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:9000            0.0.0.0:*              



LISTEN     sc_serv1

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:7001            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     sc_serv1

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:7000            0.0.0.0:*
