Hi guys,

I desperatly need your help, i run a small student restricted service licence radio station and we're trying to sort out our online licencing with PPL.

They require -

All users IP's and how long they were connected for
Total amount of 'connected' time (worked out from the above)

The only Icecast log i can find on our server is the one which states the file requests - ie, the IP and when the user logged on, i need a log which displays the time the user logged off also.

How is this possible with icecast? Or am i going to have to find an alternative streaming solution?

Thanks

In that log, the last field on each line is the number of seconds that the user was connected for.

I've found one called Sawmill - does exactly what we want and as we only need it once - to process the logs for PPL, we can live with installing a 30 day trial version....

The PPL are such a pain in the arse. What licence are you using?
