Icecast Streaming Media Server

[HoltyAVFC]

Hi,

I have searched the forums, but cant seem to understand it,

what I want to do is get the icecast server to add people to the authentication list automatically and delete them accoring to there user status on the forum, I know this is possibe, I just dont know how?!?!

Thanks

icecast won't do that, but it can pass off authentication to external scripts to authenticate connecting listeners. Use authentication via url to use achieve that.

cheers mate, do you have msn?

Also how would I set that up with the forum, to pull data from the site to look at different user groups, as I have no idea about how to code scripts etc.

I'm not familiar with vBulletin, but I imagine you'll need to do something similar to what I did with my XOOPS module.

Essentially, there needs to be a page of sorts that can take an HTTP POST, and authenticate the user/password against the vBulletin database.

Cant seem to figure out how to do it?

isnt there a script that I install?

[karlH]

Which bit, the icecast part is just an <authentication> block, the script is in whatever language you prefer, eg php. I don't know whether there is something already to match against a vBulletin database.

Do you have msn mate?

You see, I cant write any script language, so I am really struggling, as I dont know where to start

[HoltyAVFC]

Still struggling

[karlH]

no, I'm not on msn, I'm usually on irc though. The sample authe scripts that are shipped should provide some ideas, they don't interact with the vBulletin db but you could make them do that. It sounds like you only want to look up a username password combination.

Yep that is what I want,

I want it to add and remove them from the authentication according to their usergroup status on the forum.

I know its possible its just very hard to find!
