OK.... I'm a tad new to this.... but I see some of xml codes were stripped. Is there anyway of reinserting them when the bot announces to the channel? I am most interested in the "&" character.

Thanks!!

Teq.

yeah there is 2 servers the main one and the relay. What I've noticed tho as different sources connect to the server is when it breaks.

The only difference is some people use a different genre and the relay doesnt always pick up on this.

right now the main server says:

Stream Genre: breakbeat, dnb, jungle

The relay says:

Stream Genre: Drum and Bass, Breakbeat, DNB

This is the only difference we have been able to find. Ive tested alot of different things in the past few months. Its all I could come up with. I was hoping maybe somebody else had run into this or something. I understand if you can't figure it out.

Hey Mighty.

I am glad that you still find my script useful but as I said before I cant replicate the error you are having and I cant see what could be the problem. Maybe one of the other guys on here can spot something, but the script is a bit large to trawl through so dont hold your breath =D How many servers have you added to the script? I currently run only 2 and have tested it upto 3. A thought just popped into my head, It doesn't happen often I nearly fell off my chair You are running this script with only one primary server? the other servers you have added are purley relays from the primary shoutcast server?

Aight, just an update we never were able to figure out what the bug is but when the source changes (we have 30+ live djs) we get:

[17:45] Server responded with 200 OK
[17:45] Server responded with 200 OK
[17:45] Tcl error [sc_stream]: can't read "value": no such variable
[17:45] Server responded with 200 OK
[17:45] Server responded with 200 OK
[17:45] Tcl error [sc_userstats]: can't read "value": no such variable
[17:45] Server responded with 200 OK

!playing always works tho.

It seems to fail when the relay server's details don't totally match the main server (genre listing will be different because the djs like to be creative and change them around). not sure how that could affect it.

I just figured i would leave it alone back in February but I figured I'd ask again cause I just can't find another script that works with 2 servers.

Code:

bind time - "3 *" sc_update

looks better

change this

Code:

bind time - "* * * * *" sc_update

Code:

bind time - "3 * * * *" sc_update

this will update every 3 mins rather than every minute. I wouldn't suggest putting that any higher than 3 as it will miss some song names. A song usually lasts about 3½ minutes so at 3 mins it should still work correctly. If you change this setting make sure to restart your bot not just rehash as it is a bind.

ok strange... at 11 am local time (about an hour ago) it just stopped erroring out and everything is working fine now. nothing changed during that time. uh , i guess Ill just have to wait and see if it happens again. it did it all weekend and just stopped now. the logs totally reflect it. maybe my provider changed something , dunno. at any rate... this script is kick ass dude. ill leave this thread be now.

*ok I spoke too soon, its working now, but is there any way for me to lower the refresh on it announcing users on each server? its kinda flooding the channel atm. sorry im such a pain in the ass.

Well i cant see anything wrong with the config that you have setup and as it works with the first one then the script is working ok. It has to be something todo with your second server as you suggested. Indulge me and set the second server the same as the first server so both configs are the same and see if it still gives you an error. If it doesn't and works correctly then that will prove its your second server.

hey man, so I tried it without host names (ips instead) on both and it still operates the same. It worked the same way both without host names and with. Since it seems to use the host field to connect I figure it should not make a difference. Based on the script it seems to be using name only to create a link. The server at luwservers.net is what creates the error.
both occassionally display the stream status with correct listener numbers and links, both worked correctly when the second server was disabled. The only thing Ive noticed is the xml log for luwservers shows incorrect resources adding up quite a bit. One last thing Ive noticed both servers say 0 seconds at the end when it does its occassional random status report.

I think that something at luwservers is set up differently and its not a standard thing. I tested the script with other test servers on a variety of my networks. They all function correctly with the script, except luwservers.net. Guys there have no idea how their server and our dnas there could be any different than is typical.

* I should add this is what displays in IRC occassionally so it obviously connects and works to some extent.

hi doom,

Im running 1.6.15 , compiled on mac os x without the DNS module.

Have you added both servers as IP's or just one of them as an IP and one as a hostname? if DNS module is not loaded and one is set to hostname rather than IP then it wont work.

Can you paste your config settings at the top of the script?

hi doom,

Im running 1.6.15 , compiled on mac os x without the DNS module.

Thing is I now realize it only does it on one server , our relay. We'll call server A our main server and the relay server B.

The error occurs when server A is commented out and when server A and B are both uncommented. It does not occur when server B is commented out.
So logically it is not getting something from server B.

it posts the correct stream data to the irc and the correct count from both streams occassionally (seemingly at random tho) but doesnt respond to !stream, makes one of the aformentioned errors.

Further all the details are correct, ive checked several times. Both servers are running the same software. Considering it posts the correct data some of the time it must be connecting in some capacity.

Is it possible that my provider has set up that server in an odd fashion to be creating a problem. I really can't think how thats possible but

*x2* edit: Adding a separate stream and admin pass didnt help. was the only noticeable difference in server configs.

hey doom

awesome script, it seems to be the only available one that works with a cluster to display data so it was the right one for us.

however

I get a tcl error in my eggdrop console it says [sc_update] , [sc_stream] or [sc_userstats] can't read value no such variable exists

some of the time the functions work, other times not at all. am i missing something in the config, when it does show !streams all the info is correct.

*** it only does this when the second server is added. all the details are correct and I get a 200 OK on both.
