For everyone with older versions Winamp out that can't stand shoutcast breaking, here is a work around I created to get shoutcast working again. I created this little page in PHP that queires the new XML format and transforms it to the old XML format using an XSLT sheet.

I've mapped sbin/tvlister.phtml and sbin/xmllister.phtml back to that php file on my server:
http://www.polystimulus.com/sbin/tvlister.phtml
http://www.polystimulus.com/sbin/xmllister.phtml

If you want to use my server, all you need to do is append this to your host file:
(in windows 2000-XP, its in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts )

code:
  70.86.83.53   www.shoutcast.com

I updated the code. I now only pull the Top500 streams. If you want anything else, then you will have to host it yourself. Sorry guys. Traffic was just to much.

I need testers to report to me if this is working for them. I'm using XMMS and Tunapie on Linux. I don't have a copy of Winamp around to know if everything is working ok. Please post if this works for you, or if not, please post.

Site looks good. I tried getting your PHP scripts to work on Windoz. Eventually gave up because of the dependencies. I finally went an alternative route.

1) Made a local HTTP server that maps sbin to a local dir
2) Got the XML files for TV and Radio by making a http request against 'http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newtvlister.phtml' and 'http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml?search='
3) Modifing the windows hosts file to point to 127.0.0.1 (www.shoutcast.com) note that this conflicts with step 2
4) Ran XSLT transform using tools found at 'http://www.zlatkovic.com/pub/libxml/'
5) Save XML files outputted 'tvlister.phtml' and 'xmllister.phtml' in the sbin directory
6) Viola - It works Although the 4MB massive radio list frickin kills winamp :-)

I figure I can run the process manually or scripted once a day or so until the problem is fixed.

That was fun I must say. Goodnight all then.

Alright. I fixed the bug with Winamp 2.95 I got PMed about. Seems the xml parser in 2.x was a bit more picky then one would expect. Seems to work now.

Tunapie works now works. The no_compress argument is correctly respected.

Thank you pal! I hate the new ml version and your work's helpful.

BTW, another solution to avoid to overriding your DNS editing the \hosts file (because I'd like to still be able to reach www.shoutcast.com normally), is instead simply to edit the ml\ml_win_media.ini

and replace the line :
url2=http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/xmllister.phtml?limit=%i&service=winamp2
by -->
url2=http://www.polystimulus.com/sbin/xmllister.phtml?limit=%i&service=winamp2
;url2=http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/xmllister.phtml?limit=%i&service=winamp2


Same for tv :

url3=http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tvlister.phtml?limit=%i&service=winamp2
by-->
url3=http://www.polystimulus.com/sbin/tvlister.phtml?limit=%i&service=winamp2

Cool, it works great!
Just two points, first, I see if I click refresh, it loads about 135 kB of data (in shoutcast TV section), I remember it was just about 17 kB or so until winamp guys disabled it. And second, you might implement the "you can only refresh once per minute" feature like the old shoutcast directory had to conserve your bandwidth if you say it's too much. Because now it refreshes everytime I click the refresh button.

If you can, update to the 5.12 if you want to be able to edit the ini file. (5.13 is unknown to me, so I cannot say)

hehe.. it wasn't that the bandwidth was too much serving it up.. it was the blocking that happened pulling from shoutcast.com, running the xsl file, and saving into the cache and serving it up to the client..

lovely threading issues.. :-P

might switch to a static version with a cron job soon

Sounds like a good idea. If you can handle the BW, it would be major cool to have more than 1000 streams on Shoutcast using the old ML. Are you throttling (1/hour/day?) the requests now? Thanks for your work on this stuff.

Seems to be on on for everything....

BUT.. it only will only show up to Top 30.

I also seen a few PHP errors that popped up when a ton of requests hit. Seems xmlcache.php is being used but the cache file got locked a few times.

NEW STANDALONE VERSION! (with source)

Ok everyone, I created a new standalone exe version!!! It's written in C# and provides a mini http server.

Make sure that you are not running any http server listening on port 80 before running this or it will fail on load!!!

http://www.polystimulus.com/newshout.zip


If you use the hostfile method, set your hostfile like above but set to:

code:
127.0.0.1   www.shoutcast.com
