Seems the Javascript parser (actually ASP) from the toolbox is down.

What you'll need to do is use ASP to connect to your DNAS and grab the XML statistics. Then, massage the data and output to your liking.

Also, I'm not sure if ASP can create an output image.

Check out the 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.

Also, for an html implementation, check out:

Oddsock's Do Something DSP plugin

I think I'm going to give up on this thing. I Thought I was somewhat computer literate util I wanted to do this. I dont understand what to do with any of the files I've downloaded, I think I'll just hire someone to redesign my webpage with all this stuff on it... ARRRG!

If only MANY OTHERS would come to this realisation.

djearlac: just put it aside for now and READ UP ON IT. Trust me, with time and study, it all makes sense. Even if you hire someone to do it all for you, you'll never know what to do when the first thing goes wrong!

Good Luck!

its actually really simple (programming wise). being able to point and click and being able to script/program are 2 differant barrels of fish though

However if you don't know how to program - get someone experienced. I use PHP and GLIB. Took a couple of snippets of code - parsed the XML stats from Shoutcast and bam - image is ready to go (took about 5 minutes to setup). As you can see I spruced the image up a bit by creating my own graphics and then overlaying the text (simple X,Y cordinates lay down the text in the center of the image)

www.php.net - is an excellent resource for both PHP/Graphics Development with GLIb (integrated into PHP) and info on parsing XML.
