SHOUTCast and Icecast Now Playing Info Script

[Christopher Organiser]

I am trying to script a SHOUTCast and Icecast stream info script that will display the Current Song, Bitrate, and Number of Listeners.  I know SHOUTCast uses "/7.html" at the end to retrieve the plain HTML, but I can't seem to find it for Icecast, and taking the server page will cause the HTTP response to be truncated.

Icecast server I am working on:

Take a look at http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/scripting/32062-script-read-song-information-stream.html for a long discussion about how to do what you want.  I am not sure about adapting it to Icecast, however.  Darkie may have a suggestion once he wanders in on this thread.

Please note that /7.html does not work with Shoutcast servers running the latest v2 software.  See http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/SHOUTcast_DNAS_Server_2_XML_Reponses for the low down.
