track titles and listener counts

[djntr]

hiya,

I wonder if anyone can help me, I'm trying to get what track is playing and how many listeners I have on my website, but i'm told that i can only do it if i run the shoutcast server on the same server as my website, this is not possible as i stream to someone elses server that i cannot contact, I was wondering if there was any other way around this.

Any help atall will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance !

Not true. However, I believe you need the DNAS password to get most stats. If you have the DNAS password, you can use PHP or ASP with XML to pull stats from the SHOUTcast server and display them on your web page, even if the two machines are thousands of miles apart. Hope this answers your question.

It can be, if the SHOUTcast server doesn't also have an AdminPassword set. You can find out easily enough. Just go to the DNAS page on the SHOUTcast server you stream to... click the Admin link, and try to log in. Use admin as the username, and whatever password you have.
