[Icecast] Now playing (PHP example)

[larry at acbradio.org]

This php script is also good for displaying a now playing title on your station's website.

It is not an auto refreshing script so the page would have to be refreshed manually by the visitor when the song changes.

Script follows:

<?php 
	function getMp3StreamTitle($streamingUrl, $interval, $offset = 0, $headers = true) 
	{ 
		$needle = 'StreamTitle='; 
		$ua = 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.110 Safari/537.36'; 
		$opts = [ 
			'http' => [ 
				'method' => 'GET', 
				'header' => 'Icy-MetaData: 1', 
				'user_agent' => $ua 
			] 
		]; 
		if (($headers = get_headers($streamingUrl))) 
			foreach ($headers as $h) 
				if (strpos(strtolower($h), 'icy-metaint') !== false && ($interval = explode(':', $h)[1])) 
					break; 
		$context = stream_context_create($opts); 
		if ($stream = fopen($streamingUrl, 'r', false, $context)) 
		{ 
			while($buffer = stream_get_contents($stream, $interval, $offset)) { 
				if (strpos($buffer, $needle) !== false) 
				{ 
					fclose($stream); 
					$title = explode($needle, $buffer)[1]; 
					return substr($title, 1, strpos($title, ';') - 2); 
				} 
				$offset += $interval; 
			} 
		} 
	} 
	print(getMp3StreamTitle('http://yoursite.com:port/mount', 8192)); 
?>

I use this script on the ACB Radio website at http://acbradio.org.

Each stream has its own page and this script is implemented for each stream to show what is currently playing.

So if you go to http://acbradio.org/mainstream you will see what is currently playing on that stream and all of the other information for that stream.
