Icecast - Aug 2004 - a Question

Eisele,
Would you mind sharing with myself and other what you did to get this
running? I am very familiar with webalizer, but perhaps others are not
so. 
I'd be curious to see your scripts for getting it to work with MRTG
seeing as how I use that often as well.
Thanks.
KJ

Hi people, i am testing icecast 2 and its really very very good, the quality
of the sound is very better than shoutcast.

but i have a question:

in shoutcast, i make a web forfward : http://play.myradio.com.br to
http://www.myradio.com.br:8000/listen.pls and wen the user click, the winamp
or real one automatically open an play my radio.

In shoutcast can i do it too? if yes, how i do?

Hi Kerry,

Some time ago I had to setup mrtg graphing too.
I'll try to give a short outline of what I did:

1. how do I get listener numbers into MRTG?
2. how to interface XSLT with MRTG?
3. how to set up MRTG?

1. I chose to use the xslt-features provided by Icecast and placed files called
lstn-*.xsl for every mountpoint in the icecast web-root. The sole purpose of
this xslt-sheet is returning the current number of listeners for a mountpoint as
a plain-text string.

2. mrtg was written for SNMP but accepts also data from other sources if they
follow certain conventions (refer to the comments in the perl-script or one of
the available howtos for details). So I hacked up a short perl-script that gets
the current number of listeners by http and feeds it into mrtg along with some
additional data (like description etc.). You can find an example perl-script
attached to this mail. It was hacked up in only a few minutes and because it was
running ok I never touched it again, although some features (e.g. uptime) are
not used. ;)
Note: the script requires some perl-libraries to run.

3. MRTG calls the Script created in 2. (see mrtg.cfg) Everything else happens
automagically. ;)

A result can be seen here:
http://dk0td.afthd.tu-darmstadt.de/mrtg/icecast/radio.ogg_and_radio+.ogg.html

Probably there is an easier way to accomplish this, but it works fine for me. Of
course the Perl part could have been done in php or
$YOUR_FAVOURITE_SCRIPTING_LANGUAGE...

One thing I noticed during organizing the relay for http://www.subether.de/ was:
the stats seem to get off pretty much. This may have been caused by an unstable
connection to the source server, but it shouldn't have happened anyway. This
issue was addressed in an email to the list some time ago, but no one answered
to it IIRC. Is this still happening?
