Icecast dev - Sep 2017 - Icecast Radio Directory database needed for radio-browser.info

I wrote this issue earlier for radio-browser.info: Import 20,000 steams 
from the Icecast Radio Directory - 
https://github.com/segler-alex/radiobrowser-api/issues/31

radio-browser.info publish the latest database 
(http://www.radio-browser.info/backups/latest.sql.gz) and you are free 
to use it. Do you also publish the database used for http://dir.xiph.org/?

Good evening,

The database for the directory service is kind of just a cache. All the
data within are refreshed all the time. entries have a maximum age of
about 20minutes. That is the rebuild time of the directory.

You can access the current content via: http://dir.xiph.org/yp.xml
But please do not request that file too often as it's heavy.

Hope that helps you.

With best regards,

Thank you very much Philipp!


http://dir.xiph.org/ says "Total streams:*18963*" but yp.xml is only
10773 streams:


xmllint yp.xml | grep "server_name" >> streams.txt
cat streams.txt | wc -l

10773


Why is yp.xml 8190 (*18963**-*10773) streams short?
