Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

i run a server where people can stream whenever they want. is it possible somehow to notify me and other people on their local machines or when a stream starts? i think of RSS feeds maybe.

or can i at least include something like an "ON AIR" message on my connected website?

cheers

you can use the on-connect scripts or even auth url for something like that.

<%

s1URL = "http://www.homepage.com"

response.write "Webserver 1<br>"

iStatus = 0

set obj = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.4.0")

On Error Resume Next

obj.open "Get", s1URL, False

obj.send ""

If err.number = 0 then

iStatus = obj.Status

End if

If iStatus = 200 then

Response.Write "<a href='"& s1URL &"' target=_blank><font color=green>Online/font></a>"

else

Response.Write "<font color=red>Offline</font>"

End if

%>

Required: IIS-Webserver, XML-Parser

is this correct / working with icecast?

or is there a way i could include/display the status.xsl or parts of it like Stream Title on an external website?

[karlH]

the status.xsl or any other xsl file under webroot can be tweaked to your own layout and any web page from a normal web server can refer to it, a simple iframe would work.

thanks karl! it worked out fine with the iframe.
now is there a way to display a message when there is no stream, just an OFF AIR message? something with this?:
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>

[karlH]

yeah, that should work fine

hrr. that doesn't help me much

<xsl:otherwise>
<h3><xsl:value-of select="@mount" /> - Not Connected</h3>

nothing shows up.

[karlH]

it's impossible to give specific answers to such things as it varies on what you have configured. If the xml data doesn't contain the source details (which it may not have when not connected) then the xslt has to be coded with knowlege of it.
