[Icecast-dev] Listener stats

[Reaz Baksh]

Hello
Thanks for the replies. I apologize for the rash statements but, not an excuse but an explanation, I was working for about a week and a half to get this to work without any success. Checked every post related to Icecast and read the manuals but nothing came up to resolve this. 

I did try try to remove the xsl from the site but that just gave me a 400 unknown admin request error. I also edited all the files within the web root and it did give me some more information but not what I wanted. In a link that’s the following: admin/listclients.xsl?mount=/mountpoint would I just try the following and get what I need?  admin/listclients. If so that is what I tried and got the error above.

I can get the IP from the web interface at this location, http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000/admin/listclients.xsl?mount=/dhantal, but that means I would have to scrape the web interface which I don't want to do.

I can get listener count but I’m looking for location through the IP. I need to write a php script to gather this information. I have checked the status-Jason.xsl and the xml2json.xsl but neither gives me that information.
