Hi All, Maybe a strange question, is there any info or maybe even an template for setting up an yp directory! The idea to set one up for local purpuses like: espescially dutch languages would be nice! Maybe an extra setting in the stream clients to also give in the language and maybe even country of orgin of the content could be any help with that, could be a nice extra search option too for the current YP dir's. regards, Dennis

For what it's worth, you can download the sources for the YP directory CGI script at http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/icecast2yp/ This code doesn't seem to include the frontend though (i.e. the user interface).

We could allow an optional tag to be sent to the YP server which could contain extra information originating from the source client. That information could be free format so it would be up to the YP server to process it, however nothing like this has been decided on yet. karl.

And yes it should be comming from the sourceclient, because server services are not always in the same country as the source is. Regards, Dennis

However, it IS the code that we use at dir.xiph.org. oddsock oddsock
