A few years ago I found a class in PHP with which I obtained ID, IP and
elapsed time of the devices connected to the Icecast2 server, so I made
a PHP script that every thirty seconds does the following:
1.- Call the PHP class
2.- With the data obtained from the server, make an array
3.- With *geoplugin*, obtain data about the location of each IP
connected (city, region, countryName, etc.)
4.- With *browscap.ini*, obtain data about operating systems and web
browsers (the Icecast2 server also provides this data)
5.- With all this data make a list, ordering devices according to the
elapsed time
6.- Has an audible alarm to alert about connection (ascending),
connection + disconnection (flat) and disconnection (descending)

It could be improved a lot, but maybe this can help you.

You can see it working here:

For the script to capture your data you **should** connect here:
https://www.fm105.online

... But since it is behind a proxy to achieve HTTPS in Debian 10 !! ...
ggrrr :), for the script to capture your data, you must connect
directly here:
http://179.40.41.184:8443/915.opus

You can do tests.

Regards.
