Viewing server info

Say instead of the default boring shoutcast website to monitor my radio station, i wanted to get it and put it on my website. Correct me if i am wrong but this is how i think shoutcast works. It sends information stored in variables over the web to the client and then some kind of code takes that information and puts it into the boring shoutcast page. What i would like to know is a way to get that code and put it on my own website so instead of sending people to that boring shoutcast page they can just see on my site what the status is.

I know this is hard to find out, i have checked the shoutcast page source and all i found was a variable repeated throughout the source which told me nothing. If anyone knows what the code is that takes the variables please tell me to beautify my radio stats.

Thanks, Gunther

Aloha Gunther!

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.

Also, for an html implementation, check out:
KXRM's RadioToolbox
Oddsock's Do Something DSP plugin
