Hi folks, I run my own icecast2 server. In the near future it looks like, I will be doing some shows. I would like to beable to change my link, so if I am broadcasting, to go to the stream if not pop a box for my schedule.

Now from when I was checking to see if my webcam was up or not, i used this.

<code>
<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: top;">
<?php
error_reporting(0);
$fs = fsockopen('tux.isa-geek.org', 7090, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if(!$fs){
echo "<br><p> Images not available </p>";
echo "<iframe id=\"myFrameL\" align=\"center\" src=\"/webcam/testcard2.png\" height=\"256\" width=\"338\">Sorry your browser dosen't do iframes</iframe>";
echo "<br><p> Images not available </p>";
}
else {
echo "<br><p> LiveCam </p>";
echo "<iframe style=\"background-color: black;\" id=\"myFrameL\" align=\"center\" src=\"http://tux.isa-geek.org:7090/\" height=\"256\" width=\"338\">Sorry your browser dosen't do iframes</iframe>";
echo "<br><p> LiveCam </p>";
}
?>
</td>
</code>

Which works fine, but now I need to check for a url
"http://tux.isa-geek.org:8000/idjc.m3u"

does anyone know haw to change my code for this? I know when I'm not stream it generates a 404 error, in winamp (on windows)

thanks in advance.

But when I turn off the stream and don't put error_reporting(0) in it errors saying ...file not found error 404, fine. put it in and print $tags allways says 'Array()', and $fp is always true. what am i doing wrong?

<CODE>
<?php
error_reporting(0);
$h = fsockopen('tux.isa-geek.org',8000);
if($h) {
$fp = file_get_contents('http://tux.isa-geek.org:8000/idjc.m3u');
if($fp) {
$tags = get_meta_tags('http://tux.isa-geek.org:8000/idjc.m3u');
print_r($tags);
echo "<a href=\"http://tux.isa-geek.org:8000/idjc.m3u\">Live Stream On air<br></a>";
}
else
{
echo "Live stream not on air";
}
}
?>
</CODE>

You can use Playtform for that:
