Icecast Streaming Media Server

[hni]

Hi guys.

I have some problems with my metadata and are really lost.

I have made a scheduled task to update my metadata that runs a URL with this:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000/admin/metadata.xsl?mount=/stream.ogg&mode=updinfo&song=songdata

If I do it manually, I have to use admin login, because its a admin command and then it works.

But how can I send my URL with the metadata when it will have to use username and password?

I have tried with:
http://admin:password@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000/admin/metadata.xsl?mount=/stream.ogg&mode=updinfo&song=songdata

but this doesnt work eighter....

Can someone please help me with this??

I have a XML file with the Song and Artist as I can use.
I dont care how, as long as I can get it into Icecast.
So other solutions are very welcome.

Regards,
Henrik

Can I do something in the config file, so it automatic gets the metadata from a file?

First thing to note is that this looks to be an ogg stream so it should be possible to do this from the source client. The second thing is which version is this, if it's the kh tree then I did disable the facility by default as certain clients were being stupid with ogg stream updates but you can enable it with a <mount> option

<allow-url-ogg-metadata>true</allow-url-ogg-metadata>

If this is 2.3.2 then that setting is not needed.

Hi Karl.

Thanks for your fast answer.

This is ver. 2.3.2, so i should not be a problem?

http://188.138.52.189:8000/status.xsl

If I just do the update manually, it works fine.
I just tried with this:

http://188.138.52.189:8000/admin/metadata.xsl?mount=/stream.ogg&mode=updinfo&song=skala+fm+webstream+DK

But then I have to type the login manually, and if I do it with a scheduled task it has to login, and then it dont work.

What do I do if I have a .xml file where the metadata update live from the source?

You can use the source username and password, the default username is source. The url layout for such things is

http://source:password@host:port/admin.....

Hi Karl.

I have tried with this:

http://source:XXX@188.138.52.189:8000/admin/metadata.xsl?mount=/stream.ogg&mode=updinfo&song=skala+fm

But firefox as me to "accept" that I connect to the site with username... So maybe my schudeled task has the same problem?

Nothing happens...

But it works if I do it manually...

I have this PHP file I run every minute with a schudeled task on my server.
It gets the METADATA from the nowplaying.xml XML file...
And then send it to icecast. But no update.

<?php
// Sti til xml fil
$file = "http://www.skala.fm/xml/nowplaying.xml";

// Indlæs indholdet af filen til en streng
$file = utf8_encode(file_get_contents($file));

// Byg xml streng med indholdet af filen
$xml = simplexml_load_string($file);

// Gem værdier i nye variabler
$cur_artist = str_replace('NU: ', '', utf8_encode($xml->Current->titleName));
$cur_title = utf8_decode($xml->Current->artistName);

$next_artist = str_replace('OM LIDT: ', '', utf8_encode($xml->SongInfo->nextArtist));
$next_title = utf8_decode($xml->SongInfo->nextTitle);

// Udskriv noget
echo $cur_artist." - ".$cur_title." ";

?>

<META
HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="1; URL=http://source:XXX0@188.138.52.189:8000/admin/metadata.xsl?mount=/stream.ogg&mode=updinfo&song=<?php echo $cur_artist ?>+<?php echo $cur_title ?>+webstream+DK">

unfortunately this does not show us the response from the request nor the log messages. Maybe you should check those?

When you try to run this:

http://source:XXX@188.138.52.189:8000/admin/metadata.xsl?mount=/example.ogg&mode=updinfo&song=test+-+2

It ask if its okay to login to the site in my browser... Isn't this why it doesnt work for me in a schduled task?

[hni]

I found a solution for this myself...

Thanks for your help Karl..
