I have an existing web application, created with PHP/MySQL, that connects to a streaming radio source from Live356.com. We have moved our service to Shoutcast and need to connect to a specific Shoutcast server instead of Live365.
Currently the connection is made using some Javascript code from Live365, included in the player page. Now we need to connect to the Shoutcast stream, and read the stream details from the new server. The MySQL database has nothing to do with the stream connection directly, but we take the song information from the XML provided by the streaming server, and we use that to do a look up for the same song in our database. With a successful lookup, we can then display our custom info for the currently playing track.
Please see the attached document for an example of the existing connection code and some screenshots of the application.
You’ll notice that the code is very well commented. Continuing that is a requirement of the project. It must be clearly commented, in quality English.
For a developer familiar with PHP and Shoutcast (or other streaming radio providers), this should be fairly easy. We are just replacing some code on an already functional application.
All source code will be made available to the winning bidder.
Thank you!
