Hi,

I installed icecast + ices 0.4 today to stream mp3's mainly for my personal use as I travel around with my laptop and wanted to be able to listen to my music collection wherever I go Smile

After a few hours of coding, I now have a system (combination of pure php and a few linux shell scripts, no mysql or anything - I also had to learn a bit perl to modify the original perl script to suit my purposes) to show current track, track history, next track + a neat wishlist/queue of (I set the current maximum to 10) songs so that I can kinda change songs over web. Showing my system out is pretty pointless for most of you, because I did it for myself and therefore it is in Finnish. You can ask for URL, but I don't promise to visit this forum often Embarassed

Just then I found out some people were having trouble with exactly the things I solved today. So I decided to share a bit of my solution here:

1) a shell script

Code:
find /home/username/mp3/ -name '*.mp3' -print > /home/username/public_html/whatever/all_songs.txt


2) ices.conf (the important part)

Code:
<!-- One of builtin, perl, or python. -->
    <Type>perl</Type>
    <!-- Module name to pass to the playlist handler if using  perl or python.
         If you use the builtin playlist handler then this is ignored -->
    <Module>ices</Module>


3) /usr/local/etc/modules/ices.pm (the important part)

Code:
sub ices_get_next {
        print "Perl subsystem quering for new track:\n";
        $domyphp = `php /home/username/mp3/getsong.php`;
        return $domyphp;
}


4) getsong.php

Code:
  <?php
      function makeWish () {
                $allsongs = file("/home/username/public_html/whatever/all_songs.txt");
                srand((float) microtime() * 10000000);
                $filename = trim($allsongs[array_rand($allsongs)]);

                $history = file("/home/username/whatever/logs/ices.log");
                $tracks = array();
                foreach ($history as $row) {
                        if (substr($row,0,7)=="Playing") {
                                $tracks[] = substr($row,strrpos($row,"/")+1);
                        }
                }
                $tracks = array_slice(array_reverse($tracks),0,30);
                $filecheck = substr($filename,strrpos($filename,"/")+1);

                while (in_array($filecheck,$tracks)===true) {
                        srand((float) microtime() * 10000000);
                        $filename = trim($allsongs[array_rand($allsongs)]);
                        $filecheck = substr($filename,strrpos($filename,"/")+1);
                }
                return $filename;
        }


        $wishes = file("/home/username/public_html/whatever/wishes.txt");
        if (count($wishes)==0) {
                $filename = makeWish();
        } else {
                $filename = trim(array_shift($wishes));
                $file = fopen("/home/username/public_html/whatever/wishes.txt","w");
                if (count($wishes)>0) {
                        foreach ($wishes as $song) {
                                fwrite($file,trim($song)."\n");
                        }
                } else {
                        $newWish = makeWish();
                        fwrite($file,$newWish."\n");
                }
                fclose($file);
        }
        echo "$filename"; ?>


Part 4 also featured the code needed to get the track history from log file. I am sorry that this still is NOT for beginners - you most likely need to know quite a bit about (at least) php to be able to do anything neat with this. I hope you the best luck if you are about to try this out Smile

The main point of my post was to say that Icecast + IceS rocked my world. I know I may have done some things a bit overcomplicated here, but at least it works the way I wanted it to work Very Happy

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to change one variable name in translation.

If someone wants to check it out, go to http://radio.taistelumarsu.org/

It's not for public use so it's a bit ugly and so, but hope everyone interested gets some kind of an image.

The page has a javascript that calls a simple PHP script every second to get the % of how much of the song is played (progress info can be found from /logs/ices.cue). This also makes it possible to refresh page every time the song changes Smile

Sorry for the delayed reply, I don't visit this forum so often...

Hi there,

I have a Question regarding your scripts, when i run ices it cannot find the files specified. Tho when i dont use the script, and use the builtin-option it can find the files (using same playlist)

I think its because i have alot of special characters in my file-location, like & = - etc.

I tryd modifying the PHP script with escshellarg, addslashes etc but non worked. You have any idea how to solve this?

Thanks
