- Music Ticker (out of date)

In combination they allow you to automate and administrate your Winamp based SHOUTcast station remotely via a web server running on your broadcasting box. Cost $50

Does anyone know how to put these on a website? I've tried to copy and paste the codes and upload the files to my server and nothing happens. Music Ticker works, but only shows the current song I was playing when uploaded. It never changes. How do I get this to work?

[angst]

what kinda of web server r u running,,??
and which scripts have you tryed to get working,,?

[PatCook]

I'm running IE 5.5, my site is on Topcities.com and I've tried everything listed above

[angst]

I don't care what browser your useing,
I said what kinda of web server is your host running,,?
like what kinda of scripts will they let you run??
just go to they're site and find out, or email support for your host and ask what kinda scripts they support, asp. cgi. php, and so on.

if your useing a free host then they might not support anything but html. so find out and then come back here.

[PatCook]

It supports HTML only because it's free

[angst]

well then none of those scripts will work for you.

[angst]

get an account here, http://www.brinkster.com/
then use this: http://www.industrialradio.net/showsong.htm

or just use radio toolbox at www.radiotoolbox.com

it can ftp the station info to your site.

[PatCook]

Thanks for the info, but until I get that far along in my webmaster course, I don't think I can do this. For now, all I know how to write is a basic HTML page. Plus, I have no money to pay for webhosting or a credit card, simply because i maxed out 3 credit cards in the past and haven't paid the companies back.

[angst]

well this is a free hosting company: http://www.brinkster.com/

and way to give up to easily man! if it was easy every one would have it on they're sitez already.

Ok, I've got the account. now, how to I configure this thing so that it displays for a station that only broadcasts 3 hours in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 in the evening and the IP address changes with each broadcast?

[angst]

the ip changes with each broadcast,,?
if your useing a dynamic ip, then go here: http://ath.cx
and get a dynamic dns account ( also free ). and download they're dns updates client and install it on the computer that's running shoutcast.
once you've made your dynamic dns name, just use the name to configure the scripts, so every time your board cast you don't have to change the ip address.

also change the script with your port# and password,
then just run the script, and everything sould work fine.
I've used that host so I know that they support this script.
