How do i get my shoutcast stats to automaticall refresh on my website like it does in my winamp

I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for but I had the stats script on an iFrame and just added a meta tag on the PHP file:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="120;URL=status.php">

In that case, every 120 seconds the stats would get updated.

It has to be on the HTML page that you want the browser to refresh -- Also, meta tags are HTML *HEAD* elements, so they must appear between *HEAD* tags, like the *TITLE* tag.

If you can't configure the tags on the page you want refreshed, you can create a frame[set] page that contains the meta "refresh" tag and a src= the page you want refreshed -- then when the master page is refreshed, the sub page will [should] be refreshed as well -- not very elegant, but the best you can do if you cannot add the meta tag to the page.

Also, if you examine your DNAS station page [view source], it also has a meta "expires" tag -- this helps to make sure that the browser does not simply reload a cached version of the page whenever it is refreshed.

It could be on the PHP file, the one that shows the stats, let's say config_radio.php is the PHP script that shows the stats, you'd add to that file:

<html>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" Content="120;URL=config_radio.php">
</head>

You have to put that code in the page where you want to show the stats. If you want the stats displayed on index.php, yes.. put that line there, you'll get index.php showing the content of config_radio.php [ie: the stats] inside an inline frame.

Note that the code above assumes that config_radio.php is on the same path as the page that has the iFrame.
