Shoutcast no cache html5 player

[Jannes01]

On every SHOUTcast Streams Status (V2) page, there is a html5 webplayer, which has a nocache function.
When you copy the audio link you see something like "/stream?type=http&nocache=376"
I also have a html5 audio player on my site, and this one is caching sometimes, So how is this done?
I think it is with javascript but i can't find out exactly how to do this?
Anyone can help me with this?

I would say that each time you load the dnas page the nocache= value is different, that way, your browser will see the url as unique and not attempt to find it in it's cache. the nocache= parameter is most likely ignored by the dnas in returning the actual stream.

Ok thanks but, how can i achieve the same thing on my website, so visitors also don't have a caching webplayer.

really no one can help me with this?
I will try to explain it better...
On the shoutcast Stream Status page, there is an html5 audio player...
when you look at the source code, you will see at the
<source src="/stream?type=http&;nocache=Randomnumber
I really wanted to know how this is being done, the random number changes every time you refresh so it must being done something like Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000)
Can this be done in the <audio> tag or must it be done with JS?
In the JS source i dont see where this must be done.

yes its a unique number and yes, it will force the cache to be flushed for the element. This also can be used as a session-less token so that each web user instance that has activated the player can be individually tracked, and logged. The random number is generated in java by this file: https://www.radionomy.com/js/radionomy.api.agentid.js by the fallowing code:

code:
function GetAgentToken() {

	return 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/x/g, function (c) { return ((Math.random() * 16) | 0).toString(16) });

}

Also, some web browsers will attempt to cache the whole page, that sometimes causes the player to be cached for a few seconds. Placing the no-cache meta tag fixes those browsers:

code:
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

Try this: ?type=http&amp;nocache='.time().'
