Check out the Sticky post titled...
SHOUTcast: Important Info & Answers to FAQs. READ ME!

Scroll down a bit and look for the section titled...
General SHOUTcast Information -> SHOUTcast ToolBox (All sorts of nifty add-ons for SHOUTcast)

1. The PHP based XML parser is a complete solution and comes ready for you to customize.

2. The Javascript parser (actually ASP) is another complete solution and comes ready for you to customize.
Note: Apparently this link isn't working anymore.
Try this thread for other ASP options.

Also, for an html implementation, check out:
KXRM's RadioToolbox
Oddsock's Do Something DSP plugin

********************

Don't want to mess with any of that?
Then link to the DNASs now playing page.

Maybe you could change the station name "fubar radio" ... I love the movie to death.. i think fester does too. I don't mean to be a dick but unless you are playing their soundtrack over and over I suggest you change the title. Thanx.

This is more of a Sig, but you could easily edit it to fit your needs. I made the parts you need to change big...

<?php
// This image you can call immediately from an html file in the image tag

Header("Content-type: image/png");

$host = "YOUR IP/HOST";
$port = "YOUR PORT";
$listenlink = 'http://LISTENLINK'; //make link to stream

$fp = fsockopen("$host", $port, &$errno, &$errstr, 30); //open connection
if(!$fp) {
$success=2; //se-t if no connection
}
if($success!=2){ //if connection
fputs($fp,"GET /7.html HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: XML Getter (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n"); //get 7.html
while(!feof($fp)) {
$page .= fgets($fp, 1000);
}
fclose($fp); //close connection
$page = ereg_replace(".*<body>", "", $page); //extract data
$page = ereg_replace("</body>.*", ",", $page); //extract data
$numbers = explode(",",$page); //extract data
$currentlisteners=$numbers[0]; //set variable

if($connected==1) //if DSP is connected
$wordconnected="yes"; //set variable
else //if no DSP connection
$wordconnected="no"; //set variable
$peaklisteners=$numbers[2]; //set variable
$maxlisteners=$numbers[3]; //set variable
$reportedlisteners=$numbers[4]; //set variable
}

// Image size can be changed here: (x, y)
$im = ImageCreate(200,60);

// Background color in R(ed)G(reen)B(lue) below
$background_color = ImageColorAllocate($im,0,0,0);

// text colors also in RGB
$text_color1 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0,204,255);
$text_color2 = ImageColorAllocate($im,0,204,51);

if($success!=2 && $connected==1){

// song information is splitted in artist - title:
// This requires consistent artist & title format (no ' - ' in title/artist)
// else you can use $numbers[6] as current song info below
$song=explode(" - ",$numbers[6]);

// strings can of course be replaced with your own bla
$string1= "Now playing on [YOURSTATION]:"; $string2= $song[0];
$string3= $song[1];
$string4= "[$currentlisteners/$maxlisteners users]";
}
else {
$string1= "[YOUR STATION] is currently";
$string2= ">OFFLINE<";
$string3= "Please check back later.";
$string4= ":::";
}

// positioning below
$px = (imagesx($im)-5*strlen($string1))/2;
ImageString($im,1,$px,5,$string1,$text_color1);
// (image,font (from 1 to 5),starting x position, y position,line of text,color)
$px = (imagesx($im)-5*strlen($string2))/2;
ImageString($im,1,$px,20,$string2,$text_color2);
$px = (imagesx($im)-5*strlen($string3))/2;
ImageString($im,1,$px,30,$string3,$text_color2);
$px = (imagesx($im)-5*strlen($string4))/2;
ImageString($im,1,$px,45,$string4,$text_color1);
ImagePng($im);
// In response to KXRM's reaction:
// if you want to cache the picture, you should place this script in
// your internetpage, remove line 5 (Header-call)
// and use ImagePng($im, "filename.png");
// NB: filename.png must have the right permission settings
// (CHMOD 777 does it)
//
// Then you can place filename.png in the same html-file.
ImageDestroy($im);
?>

Please note that I did NOT make this script (made by a fellow shoutcast user...). Anyways, enjoy.

ruffdawg · 18th February 2004, 19:43
