How to pull statistics from Icecast with PHP

Started by Peter Oliver · 10 months ago

Update: I’ve refactored a good deal of the code here to support radio servers with multiple mount points. It now uses the SimpleXML functions in PHP5, so make sure you’ve got those enabled.
icestats.php



<?PHP


class icestats { ... Continue reading »

    Hey huelgueuer:

    I actually haven't tested this with multiple mount points - I just threw it together for a station I run in my personal time, so let me play with it a bit and see what I can come up with.

    As to the IP address listings, if you do a print_r($stats) on the array returned back from the get_parsed_stats() function, you'll see what fields you have available for output - listener count and such are available, but I don't see a way off-hand to get the IP addresses of listeners. It would probably entail parsing another one of the XML files on the server, but like I said, this was just a quick thing I threw together, so I'm not sure.

    I'll take a look and see what I can come up with for both issues, here, and post back.

    hi

    it works fine, but we have 5 mountpoints in the stats
    /48
    /96
    /128
    /dump
    /live

    the listeners in the script comes from /live
    how can i change to /128 ?

    and can i list ips from

    http://......../admin/listclients.xsl?mount=/128

    Thanks for the code.

    I am totally new to PHP and found that it wouldn't run at first on my hosting company's server (which is running PHP 5). I found that I needed to change the line

    require_once('icestats.php');

    in the example page to

    include 'icestats.php';

    Otherwise I got a 'class declared twice' error or something like that.

    Also for those people like me who don't have a clue how to extract individual fields from the returned object, after a bit of trial and error (!) it turns out you can do it like this:

    For example, to print the current artist:

    echo $stats->artist[0];

    Basically change 'artist' above for whatever other field your are interested in..

    Thanks again for sharing your code -
    Matt

    How should I actually go with getting stats from all mountpoints? Because the demo expects that I just want to access /pirate-radio's stats. How do I get all the mountpoints so I can $r->check_station($mountpoint) them.

    Thanks

    Oh and also, if you could help with another problem I would greatly appreciate it.
    icestats.php seems to produce an error - I believe - whenever the current song has scandinavian characters in its name (like å,ä,ö). I found out that the reason is SimpleXML can only output utf-8... possibly. I was just wondering if there was some way stop this error from happening.

    Thanks again
