Create a SHOUTcast website

[VacTacks11]

Hey, I'm a newbie here.

I'd like to know how I can create a web-site (say on Geocities) that'll allow the user to click there and see what song is playing. Thanks for the help guys.

hiya,

i downloaded the musicticker and got it working. v. good. i am wondering how you can configure it to have a background picture in the .htm file that it uses as all my other pages on my site have that background. I cannot find any way of doing it so any help would be much appreciated.

If you have access to SSI then you call the ticker page into any html document on your site.

Hi,

I dont really know wot SSI is 2 b honest. I am using Frontpage 2000 on XP Home, is there a way 2 do it in frontpage?

I'm using another piece of software (OTSJuke) to run my music, but would like to let people know what song is playing on my main page. OTSJuke uses the same dll that winamp uses for output. Is there a way to still show which song is playing?

Thanks

I just wanted to let you guys know..

In the next version of Shoutcast (later then 1.8.3) there is no longer support for the old MusicTicker. The extended features have been removed and have been handled in XML and via w3c log files.

If you want the same funtionality as the old MusicTicker, and something you won't have to change on the next release of Shoutcast check this out.

Very simple to setup, requires PHP (--with-xml) and about 4 lines of editing (to point to your SC server).

Most decent ISP's these days are putting PHP into their web hosting packages (as it is completely free), if yours doesn't.. bug them.. it is silly if they don't.

I tried the scripts on the link, but it's showing the same song twice, and only 10 in the list (see attached image).

I havent changed any variables except the required server variables.

try this: www.industrialradio.net/showsong.htm

look for the following line

code:
//define the number of songs to display

$con_song_print=array_slice($con_song, 0, 10);

and change to

code:
//define the number of songs to display

$con_song_print=array_slice($con_song, 1, 10);

Later

Works great for the current track, but all the rest are still doubled up...

[Tom]

The problem is not the script, but rather your server listing each track twice. Go to http://IP:PORT/played.html to verify this. The only time I managed to get a double listing like this was when I had the minibrowser open when I was broadcasting but I'm sure other things will trigger this as well. Try the basics (Winamp + DSP -> DNAS) and slowly add to it if you have other stuff running (plugins, etc) and see if that helps you track down the culprit.

Yeah...it's showing a double listing there too.

I'm using OTSJuke (a popular piece of dj/automation software) which outputs to the shoutcast dll to broadcast over the net, so I am guessing that it has to be something between OTSJuke and the dll file.

Did you actually read the phps files and look for the config sections? Once you put in your info where its requirted just save both of the files with the .php extension and upload them to your server.

if you're up for it I have written an application called Radio ToolBox that calls out to a php script

You can see it in action here http://www.radiotoolbox.com/radiotoolbox/example2.php

It doesn't rely so heavily on the server to put information on a webpage but rather caches it. The data can also be used on any php script on your website just by simply including the includes.php cache file.

Here is another script using the exact same data as the one above http://www.radiotoolbox.com/radiotoolbox/

I am not sure how helpful this is to you, I have been running for 2 weeks without problems so I am fairly certain this version is stable.

You can download it from http://www.radiotoolbox.com/

when im using that script from

http://www.kription.com/scxml/recent.html

i get a error that says:


Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of fsockopen(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in /sites/square-online.com/ssp/chocoradio/scxml-obj.php on line 65

but the script still works for a strange reason.. i was wondering whats the problem and if anyone could help me.. thanks

Just a guess...

Your webserver is Win32?

Find out if you are using PHP 4.1.2 (or higher).
