Hey guys, I realize this has been asked a couple times before in the past years but no one has really provided a definitive answer AFAIK. I would love to create an Icecast directory plugin for my app XiiaLive<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.DroidLiveLite>. I have been getting a lot of request and I want to find out how to. Here is an example of a plugin I have already created called Radio Reference<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vblast.dir.rr>. Of course the Icecast directory would be FREE. So here are some questions that hopefully helps me out go in the right direction. 1. Do I need to ask permission to use the directory and display the Icecast logos? 2. Any APIs available? 3. If no APIs available can I parse the data from http://dir.xiph.org/? Thanks! - Jona -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks Thomas for the reply. I'll take a look at the links you provided. I'm a bit new to the whole mailing list style forum... It would be great to help you guys out somehow get some type of API for Icecast defined. - Jona On Tue, Jun 18, 2013 at 10:07 PM, Thomas R?cker <thomas.ruecker at tieto.com>wrote:> Hi Jonathan, > > On 18 June 2013 11:14, Jonathan Meson <jona at visualblasters.com> wrote: > > Hey guys, > > > > I realize this has been asked a couple times before in the past years > but no > > one has really provided a definitive answer AFAIK. > > There is an ongoing discussion on the developer mailing list. > http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast-dev/2013-June/002178.html > (informative post) > http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast-dev/2013-May/002173.html > (start of current thread) > > https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1958 - tracker item for the JSON API > > Please subscribe to the icecast-dev list to join the discussion. > > > I would love to create an Icecast directory plugin for my app XiiaLive.
