Icecast Streaming Media Server

[tunevibez]

What code would I need to do this?

[karlH]

vague question, you don't specify how you want to pass that data from icecast. the icecast xsl pages can show the listener counts for all streams but how do you want to get that to your website? php backend query, iframe or is this web page served from icecast, one particular stream?, all streams?

Not a vague question, I have a website on the internet, in this case http://tunevibez.com and I would like to display the number of listeners that are listening to the station. NOT by making an iframe.

Depending on how you want to set it up and what kind of ease-of-use you're looking for, it could take quite a bit of code.

If you're grabbing one mountpoint and extracting a number from it, you can use a fetch to grab the XML, the pull out the mountpoint, and further pull out the listener count. It could be done in a dozen or so PHP lines.

However, if you have multiple mountpoints and multiple servers, there isn't a single piece of simple code that exists.

If you don't want to use an IFrame, then it gets tricky. You either need to use an AJAX element to pull the listener count from somewhere, or the server needs to know how to query and process the mountpoint info.

I wrote a XOOPS module which does pretty much what you're looking for, and you're welcome to download it and see how it works for you at http://xoops.underowod-hq.org in the download section. It displays the Radio block here: http://www.powerfrag.fm

I would like to fetch the number of listeners from one mountpoint /tunevibez

[karlH]

maybe you want to start off simple, try an adding an xsl file in webroot like

[tunevibez]

So I put that in the webroot of the server?

[karlH]

yes, like the other xsl files like status.xsl and status2.xsl

Hi Karl,

I've just tried the xsl file to get the listeners and it works great on 2.3.2 server.
But if I use it on a 2.3.1 version I always get the full list of the mount points and their listeners even if I put in the url the mount point name.
Pratically I have the same result with both urls:
http://myserver:8000/my.xsl?mount=/demo
http://myserver:8000/my.xsl
I always see the complete list of the mount points.
Is it a limit of 2.3.1 version?

thanks!

Dave

2.3.1 did not have the mount filter support.
