[Icecast] Changing info on Icecast "playing" page
Is it possible to change the information that's displayed on the Icecast server status page? I'd like to at least add the length of a track. Also, what exactly is the http://<server>:8000/admin/stats supposed to show? I just see xml code for the regular status page... Phil.

Icecast doesn't (and can't) know how long a track is. Icecast doesn't really even know WHAT a 'track' is.> > Also, what exactly is the http://<server>:8000/admin/stats supposed to show? I just see xml code for the regular status page...That's what it's meant to have. The full XML includes more information than is usually displayed in the html output (though this depends on your XSL files). Mike

Maybe that can be a feature that can be added to ices? :-) Kelv
