[Icecast] Standard method to read current listeners without user/password

[Ross Levis]

I see, so basically look for this in the html data and scrape it.

 

<td>Current Listeners:</td>

<td class="streamdata">3</td>

 

Has this format not changed since Icecast2 was released?

There is a file /status.xsl that contains all the status information for
your server.

For example, mine:  http://radio.foxcub.net:8000/status.xsl

You can either parse it with your favorite x?l parsing library or scrape it
for listener info.

You can see an example of this in action at my page:
http://radio.foxcub.net

It shows number of listeners and song playing.

We produce radio broadcasting/streaming software for Windows which can show
the current number of listeners.  Many Icecast hosting companies won't
provide the admin password as they have lots of other customers using the
same server, so the software doesn't have access to the stats.xml.

 

I'm guessing there isn't any other built-in method, in which case we would
have to suggest the customer switches to a Shoutcast server which is
disappointing.

Ross.
