php code for shoutcast status

[planetmosh]

the previous version of shoutcast was easy .. anything I needed to display on my website was contained in 7.html

none of the old scripts now work with shoutcast2

After a fruitless search of the interwebs for a script or tutorial maybe you guys could help.

Can anyone direct me to a code snippet that will show Peak Listeners, current listeners, now playing and last 9 songs for the new shoutcast2.

The new server doesnt support 7html. When 7html was discovered, it was more of a hack to supporting metadata, granted is does use MUCH less bandwidth /w massive listener counts than conventional php stat displays. Then again, something could have changed over the last 7 months and I just don't know

you can mitigate the bandwidth issue by "caching" the result, and only getting new data from DNAS every so often

[planetmosh]

which brings us back to the original question.

what is the name of the file that I need to extract the data from now that 7.html does not exist?

[jaromanda]

index.html
played.html

http://dev.winamp.com/wiki/SHOUTcast...stration_Pages lists all of the options for querying things from the v2 DNAS either as public pages or as private pages for specific admin details along with the means to only get certain sets of data instead of a full-blown xml response (which the default output has been reduced since the initial v2 build 7 + 10 was outputting stuff that was never populated).

Hi,

if you have access to the admin.cgi of the DNAS you could use this script:

<?php

EDIT: Looks like theres a problem with the php tag.
***91; have to be changed to [
***93; have to be changed to ]

This script reads all infos from the xml-file generatet by DNAS and make them available as an array. you can simply include the file in your current php website.

If you want to view the current song you can access it by

echo dnas_data['SONGTITLE'];

Hope that helps


EDIT: the php CURL-Lib must be installed, but thats this lib afaik is standard on php 5 and higher installations.

[neralex]

hey MADxHAWK!

do you have test it? i have no output with echo. can you fixit, please?

examples:

echo ($)dnas_data ['SONGTITLE'];
echo $xml->SONGTITLE;

[pimphesus]

Is it possible to change this to use the v1 server too?

Does it work if I change this var?

$useragent = "Mozilla (DNAS 1 Statuscheck)"; 

[jaromanda]

It's not that simple ... you need to change the URL

possibly from

$ch = curl_init($sc_host . '/admin.cgi?mode=viewxml&sid=$sc_sid'); 

to

$ch = curl_init($sc_host . '/admin.cgi?mode=viewxml'); 

and remove

       'NEXTTITLE'            => (string)$xml->NEXTTITLE, 

NOTE: I have not checked the above, but I'm confident

[pimphesus]

I have made the suggested changes to the script, but I'm getting the could not connect error. I have 3 different streams to test this with and tried them all. None of them are v2. Do I need to include the path to curl on that page?

[jaromanda]

you've changed these to suit?

$sc_host = '127.0.0.1';
$sc_port = '8000';
$sc_user = 'admin';
$sc_pass = 'your_pass_here';

also ... does your host allow outgoing connections? most DO NOT

[pimphesus]

Well, they have allowed it in the past. I'd say a few years ago. I just sent them a ticket, so I should know in the morning, hopefully. Do you think they would re-enable this if i asked them? I've been with the same host since 2002. Doubt that makes a difference.

@jaromanda - Yes, I did make the necessary changes to those variables too, but the truth is I've been looking for a flash player and a script like this that works on my server for days.

[MADxHAWK]

Hi,

sorry have missed this post :S

This script uses the phpCURL libary to connect to the shoutcast server. If you dont get any data maybe this lib is not installed on your server/webspace. Also most free webspacehoster dont allow external connections (like funpic for example).

Look for the line:

code:
$curl = curl_exec($ch); 

after add:

code:
var_dump($curl)

This line will dump the data curl gets.


You can use this script with a shoutcast 1 also. you just have to change the line like jaromanda sugested. But you wont get all data from shoutcast 1. For example shoutcast 1 provided also webhits, admin logins and a few more data that shoutcast 2 doesnt.

To get an output you need this line for example: (sorry there was a typo in the example)
echo $dnas_data ['SONGTITLE'];

This line wont give you any output:
echo $xml->SONGTITLE;


A simple html file to get the current song and songhistory could look something like this:

current_song.php

code:


<html>

<head>

<title>Currently played song</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php include("/path/to/shoutcast.php"); ?>

welcome to my station <br />

<br />

Now playing: <?php echo $dnas_data['SONGTITLE']; ?><br />

<br />

Last played songs:<br />

<?php

foreach ($sc_data['SONGHISTORY'] as $song)

{

echo "[" . date('H:i', $song['PLAYEDAT']) . "] - " . $song['TITLE'] . "<br />;

}

?>

</body>

</html>

The file have to be named *.php NOT *.htm or *.html !! else the phpcode wont be parsed.

Maybe i will write a shoutcast class working where you can select weather to use curl or fsockopen for connection to shoutcast working with both versions of the DNAS.

why not also a straight file_get_contents with a context that sets a appropriate useragent ... works for my host
