I’ve had some interest in my icecast script over at the SRA forums, so I thought i’d post it here so that anyone who cares can read and do what they want with it!

This is my listener_join.php:

http://brettjenkins.co.uk/code/icecast/listener_join.txt

This is listener_leave.php:

http://brettjenkins.co.uk/code/icecast/listener_leave.txt

This is the SQL database structure:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `icecast` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`icecast_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`datetime_start` datetime NOT NULL,
`datetime_end` datetime default NULL,
`ip` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
`mount` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
`duration` int(11) default NULL,
`agent` varchar(200) default NULL,
`server` varchar(50) default NULL,
`port` int(11) default NULL,
`user` varchar(20) default NULL,
`pass` varchar(20) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3087 ;

Some of the code probably isn’t as efficient as it could be, and if you want to tidy it up yourself thats cool, but I just programmed this fast.

This is a template for the icecast.xml file in the icecast server directory:

http://brettjenkins.co.uk/code/icecast.xml

Thats the backend sorted, there needs to be a front end to display the data, this is our main frontend stuff:
http://brettjenkins.co.uk/code/icecast-admin/

I’ll just repeat that most of this was programmed quickly and wasn’t necessarily programmed with best practise in mind – the front end is very basic and there is a lot of scope for improvement if someone wanted to improve it.

Hope this helps!

P.S. Big thanks to the SRA for nominating me/xtreme for Best Technical Achievement Award

Well I’m a Computer Science student, but I don’t think I could sit in front of a computer for the rest of my life programming. I like being an engineer at Xtreme Radio because one day I could be fiddling with the mixer, one day I could be programming the website, one day I could be in the attic fiddling with cables, one day I could be on the computers fiddling with playout systems. It’s varied, it’s interesting, it’s fun.

I also get to broadcast! Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t think I’m the next Chris Moyles, Jonathan Ross, Richard Bacon or even Terry Wogan. But I enjoy it, and I put quite a bit of effort into it, and to trying to improve myself. It also comes back to my point eariler, I can do tech stuff and I can even broadcast… brilliant

Now i’ve recently become involved in Afan FM, a community radio station covering Port Talbot & Neath, and it’s great fun. The first live show I did there was very nervewracking, as it was the first time i’d broadcasted live on FM radio, a pretty big moment for me, and I was paranoid I was going to do something which I’d regret. Anyway hopefully i’m starting to loosen up a bit now, as i’m getting more used to the station, and i’m starting to “forget” about being on FM in a weird way, and just thinking about creating good radio. But on the same token, as i’m starting to become an IT Technician/Webmaster for the station, I can also fiddle with code, fiddle with websites and other stuff as well as be a DJ! What other job lets you have this much freedom?

I’m hoping to go into radio as a career when I leave university, but who knows where i’ll end up. Radio isn’t the best paid job in the world, hell i’ve not made a penny from Radio as yet, but I enjoy it, and i’d rather do something I enjoy but take a bit of a pay cut, then do something I hate but get more money, I mean whats the point in spending ~8 hours a day doing something you hate, just for more money?! Life is too short!

Sorry for the lack of posts, i’ve been so busy!

Xtreme Radio is doing well, and you can check out my Show 1-3 on Monday – Will probably be the last one this year however, and will probably get a different time next semester, but listen regardless or… listen again. THERE IS NO EXCUSE!

Anyway Xtreme turned 40 a few weeks ago and Zane Lowe came down to DJ. He was great, he really does know how to mix!

I’ve been a bit snowed under with coursework lately, but it’s the last day of term on Friday, yipppppie! Can’t wait to have a break, this semester has been really really tough, the courses are very hard.

So that’s a brief update on what i’ve been up to, i’ll try and post a bit more often over the holidays

Have fun,
Brett
