K,

I'm working on a website just for fun for my shoutcast server. So I wish to launch a live update to tell my website users what song is currently being played in live broadcast. I was told of a nifty winamp plugin (there are so many, they're great) called AMIP. Pretty much your suppost to configure it to a MIRC client and it'll auto update back. I guess I would then embed this into my website homepage a vela...I get what song's being played.

Bad news for me is that I have no clue about setting up MIRC, IRC's for that matter or much into embedding this script into my site. If anyone has any web help or a howto guide for this,please let me know. I figured I'd asked because I don't feel like wasting another 6 hours woeking on web scripts and trying to figure them out on my own (just embedded a flash webscript which plays mp3's on my site, pretty sweet but took a while to config)

Anyway, thanks in advanced. I know someone knows how to do some of this stuff

"supposed"

I know nothing about Mirc as well... good luck!

I would assume it would be easier to just import the info from the shoutcast ip (since it auto updates and displays the current song)

I don't know the code that winamp uses to display that information however onto the local shoutcast homepage. It seems it would be a lot easier finding this code and scripting it directly into the site instead of using a plugin, a irc server and the mirc client to update. If anyone comes acrossed it, let me know...I'm gonna google it know

So exicting learning new stuff

goto http://yourserverip:shoutcastport and it will show you song and such, could be a start

heh, tekie of course means the actuall ip of the shoutcast server followed by the shoutcast port being used....

Example: mine would be...

http://68.83.146.232:8000

Of course u can't grab code being used from that. Its like asp, it doesn't display the actual code itself, but a dup whenu viewsource

Very bottom of page....

Shoutcast already outputs the info you are looking for to a log file. You can then use an iframe with a meta refresh tag to automatically update the info on the page without reloading the entire page.

I just glanced over it briefly but that looks like what you need.

heh...

Well I know the script...but still can't figure out how to embed it. I feel like I have to point the script to the server address...but I can't find out what I need to do this into the script. Anyone help me by pointing out the obvious (not on the shoutcast website)

You need to tell the script to access the local file. Or configure Shoutcast to place the log file somewhere in your website directory so your script can see it.
