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.

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.
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?

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.
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.
