Has anyone seen a PHP script that will kick duplicate Shoutcast listeners?
I am trying to find something which will allow me to customize how many simultaneous slots an IP address can have, and it will kick any additional slots that the IP address is using.
Additionally, I'd like to find something that will kick the instances/slots that have been open longest (as opposed to the later, more recently connected slots/instances), so that in case a listener is opening multiple slots unintentionally (which I've seen plenty times), only their earlier instances will be kicked.
Does such a thing exist?
Thanks!

If it's shoutcast V1 that's pretty easy to do from a php cron job point of view. I'll try to dig up the code I have used in the past years to do something similar that you can modify.

I am thinking out loud here. Here is how I would do this.

Create and update a table in the sam db with a list of the SCv1 connections - easy
Sort above list by IP address and time connected.
Query list into an array
Compare connectionX to connectionX-1 if not same go to next
if same then connectionX-1 is oldest
send kick code to shoutcast server
go to next until reaching EOF.

This could be done to multiple servers and even across servers if necessary.

Any code you have would be appreciated - thanks!
The theory makes sense, but do you really need to use the database? Seems like it would make things more complicated than they need to be...

Unless you have thousands of listeners, there is no need to store anything in the database.

Here's something I've hacked together.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/737 ... stener.zip
It kicks all duplicate connections from the same hostname/IP and only leaves the one with the shortest connectiontime alive.
It needs PHP 5.3 minimum as it uses namespaces. The actual processing is in a Class in src/ and in vendor/ you'll find the HTTP library that is completely oversized for this kind of project, but I use that for all my stuff and didn't want to spend an hour reading about how to handle HTTP connections correctly.

Thanks a lot - will try it a bit later.
Is there a way to change how many connections are left open? I would maybe want to allow more than just one connection, for offices/locations with multiple listeners...

You'd need to modify the script to some extent in order to keep multiple connections.

Will take a look at it, and see if it's something I can figure out...
Thanks a lot!

Hello

Am trying to use this solution as lately I am getting people who seem to have a problem with their web based player and continuously open a new connection every now and again.

I don't know if am doing the right thing, I edited the purge.php in 3 places with my stream information/password. Then I open index.php on one of my computers but I get a blank page. I have php 5.4 so not sure if it is supposed to work on a higher version, or am I missing the plot ?

Thanks

I also changed this

private $client = mystream:myport;
private $pass = 'mypassword';

and added my stream:myport on every bit where the localhost was mentioned on purge.php

Oof, it has been very long since I posted that here.
The link isn't even working anymore, so how did you even get the script?

Anyways: The $client variable is meant to be null as it's being replaced by the Guzzle Http Client a few lines later.

Opening in the browser might work as well, but this was actually meant to be a commandline script.
The script requires cURL to be available as a PHP extension in order to work. That should be enabled by default on most webhosts and in the default PHP binaries for Windows you can download from php.net

If it doesn't show anything at all, it's definitely broken.

Check your error_reporting:

Right below the comment in index.php add the following lines:


That should show you whatever error occured.
