hi this zachariahs script is one of the best but always I enable the plugin my server load grows up still server not reachable, because of that I have to disable this plugin always..

[m002.p]

hmm that hasnt happened to me ^^^^^

Perhaps your server hosting package isnt capable of dealing with these type of scripts.

[tanyeri24]

but the shoutcast is on other server, I dont know why this problem happened at mine vbulletin..

[m002.p]

You could try setting shoutcast to update its cache at a longer interval....

[tanyeri24]

the value is 20 at mine, what is your choice?

[m002.p]

60 ^^^^

[tanyeri24]

I will try it for one day, now its night not much user online and I can not say if the server load is real..
Must wait till tomorrow, and there is other problem with firefox:
In internet explorer the cell growing with the dj input text but at firefox it stays fix and if the message is too long its overwriting the other box (welcome, Nickname..).
And in firefox the 'tune in' phrase is blinking and in internet explorer not

[m002.p]

Have you a link to your first issue?

The second issue is due to the fact "text decorations" arent picked up by IE and so unfortunetly as stated in the mod info above, the tune in will only blink for firefox.

I had the overflow problem too. I changed the two instances of ALIGN=LEFT to ALIGN=CENTER and that seems to have fixed it.

A couple of questions though: -

I also have Photoplog installed (the free version released here) and since this ShoutCast mod is on the navbar, it also displays in Photoplog . . . problem is that (predictably) it always shows the offline message. The stream status is shown correctly on all other pages, just in Photoplog it says "offline" all the time.

Is there any way to either force the correct display on the Photoplog pages OR remove it from the navbar in Photoplog? Indeed, does it necessarily need to be placed on the navbar, or could this code be added elsewhere on the board - in a side column for example?

The other question is: Most of my members listen with Winamp rather than MediaPlayer. Could the code be altered to call Winamp instead?

Any suggestions on these points would be much appreciated.

Hello Belder.

In response to your questions,

1)
Yes you can get it to work with PhotoPlog and ive updated the instructions above with the explanation. Unfortunetly due to the mod using other global variables, you need to add them manually like vba.

2)
You can also use the code elsewhere but may require some more development to be displayed in more areas other than the navbar at this stage. However the good news is, I am currently testing a vBa module with a enhanced status in additon to a few other ideas similar to what you have mentioned. They will be released soon

3)
In the next version using an imported product, it will be possible to customise the listening option/s using vbulletin options. However before the new update, you need to do the following:

a) Replace your current navbar code with the one below:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

b)
Secondly you need to add the following variable to vBa & / or photoplogs list (see instructions above)

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Hope that helps, and thanks for installing

Thanks for the reply m002.p, your code for calling Winamp instead of MediaPlayer is appreciated. Unfortunately I've already changed the hook location for Shoutcast to "Global" in order to have Zachariah's ShoutCast display on other pages as well as forumhome (I should have pointed that out). I'm not altogether sure about changing the hook location again, since the trade-off may be to have it display in Photoplog, but not on the rest of the pages as it does at present??

Admitedly placing your code on the navbar is the ideal option, since this displays throughout the site, it's simply that the "full" display gives members more tuning options.

I have figured how to get it displayed in the sidebar though, and with a little juggling could probably get it to display in various other locations.

Thanks again for your helpful reply - I'll have a play around with the instructions and code you've added, and see if I can find a happy compromise. In the meantime I look forward to your next version, I'm sure it will prove extremely popular with ShoutCast users.

In either way, the code is flexible. Just remember if you change the hook location to global_start then it could start to slow the web server up hence why using parse_templates does the exact thing for you on PhotoPlog & VbA

Good to see all is working and hopefully in the next version, it will be flexible enough for you to use in all areas of the forum / website without difficulty.
