I have a custom script but it's not very good as it takes quite a while before it displays or updates.

Curious to know what others use.

Most people use the SAM templates in one way or another.

Shoutcast page shows last 18 tracks, so I just have that in an iframe

Another Festerhead's user reporting, it's always been working satisfactorily.

Wish I could find those old scripts. I remember one that modified the search function to allow you to define the search by album, artist, song title. Wish I knew enough about sql/php to do it myself.

On our old station we used to parse the Shoutcast XML feed from our Shoutcast server and used that data to display various things on the site.

I didn't write the code to do it and the guy who did is no longer with us, so I unfortunately can't be much more help other than "I know what we did back in the day". But maybe someone out there who does have the knowledge to do such things will get something out of it.

JSON file generated by SAM.

mounted() { getSongInfo } => songObj

now playing = songObj
img = songObj.picture
artist = songObj.artist
title = songObj.title

and so on. Easy Peasy.

Not easy if your not a coder
The one i'm using uses ajax but is slow and high on resources, but it does refresh in realtime and isn't in an i-frame, so that's what I'm looking for.

I haven't looked at the SAM html web for over 15 years, but from what I remember, you had to put it in an i-frame, which would constantly time out giving a page not found error.

I need something better if anyone can help please..

If you use the out-of-the-box HTML templates, they reload the full page every few seconds (I'm not sure of the default value, but I think it might be 90s) while you're on the now playing page.

If you want to embed the page in your own site, that's what you can use an IFrame for.

The state-of-the-art way is to just load the actual song data into a page you built yourself. That's where the "new" JSON support comes in handy ("new" because JSON is just plain text and you could write that with the HTML engine from the very beginning already, you just had to pay attention to escaping and linebreaks)
