Doh.Ahh.. that's not the problem with my 404's here, but I'll look into them next. :)>I am not getting any of these problems.

I'm building another machine here out of spare parts for just that purpose, so I can get the sourcing off my main (win2k) workstation machine.. I like the gui too much for these kinds of things, and I really can't stand X.. it's a bigger hack than nullsoft stuff. ;)>You can get this information by parsing the stats.log, which is located in >/usr/local/icecast/logs/stats.logAhh.. thanks for that bit of info. A little bit of grep, a little bit of sed, and I've got my status back to the way I want it. :)>Now, is there a way to see the last 10 songs played?I think you could do the same kind of thing I did.. use grep and sed to get the song title from the stats file, and then "cat >> " it to the file you want it in.. a tad bit more magic to chop the head off the file if it's 11 lines long after the addition, and you're in business.>I am so happy I found this list.. There's no where else to go, really.Yeah.. I don't pay a lot of attention to the list usually, but to be fair it was down for a while and I kinda forgot it was even here.. ;) Even so, it's a good place to come for help and stuff like that. The guys are really busy I guess, as far as answering emails goes.. and my one inquiry on the irc channel (it was suggested I ask there in a response to an email) gave me the answer "read the source." ;) That was back when I was deciphering the icy protocol.. I gave up on reading the icecast source, it's documented about as poorly as the icy protocol itself, and just broke out the sniffer and figured it out on my own. -------signature file------- PGP Key Fingerprint: 446B 7718 B219 9F1E 43DD 8E4A 6BE9 D739 CCC5 7FD7 "I don't think [Linux] will be very successful in the long run."

It has long been known that the nullsoft method of streaming metadata is a hack. I like the Icecast approach much better but still I think that it can be much improved. When in doubt turn it off. Two machines?? Have you tried the win32 source lately...? Just a thought.

Have you tried the win32 source lately...?I do use -a- win32 source.. winamp. But I refuse to use win32 as any sort of server, so my server is freebsd running icecast.. hence, two machines. :) -------signature file------- PGP Key Fingerprint: 446B 7718 B219 9F1E 43DD 8E4A 6BE9 D739 CCC5 7FD7 "I don't think [Linux] will be very successful in the long run."
