Hum, I wonder if this is possible?

Using PHP, you can run scripts on remote servers easily.

In our DJ Panel, we log every IP on everything so we know who ever is connected to the radio is allowed or not.

So, I wonder if it's possible to check the current DJ's IP Address with all the IPs in the DJ Panel and if it's an invalid IP Address, it will kick and ban the IP from connecting.

So then, if somebody has "hacked" the radio, another member of staff can use the script to kick them off air, without having the power to kick off anybody.

Thoughts?

Hmmm... That sounds quite smart and possible I think. But my only problem is that say if a DJ logs into another computer? I always login on one of my 2 comps or sometimes if im alone at school .

[Moh]

Yeah, thats the problem isn't it.

Would be good if SAM instead of entering the encoder details, you download a file that has a "session" key of something that's linked to the account. So if the account doesn't exist, then they can't connect. Sadly that's not possible

I don't see why it wouldnt be possible, but a lot of people have dynamic IP's and therefore someone could get kicked as they are thought to be not a proper DJ. A more efficient way to do it would just be to like give admin users the ability to kick people from the server.

[Mickword]

Yeah I agree with Johno.

[Moh]

Yeah, our admins do have the ability

Login to the shoutcast in the same way radio stats does and parse the IP thats currently connected from the XML file then just set a cronjob to check every so often so see if the IP matches one in the database and if not then kick them

OMG I half-wrote exactly this!

[Agnostic Bear]

No. Dynamic IP addresses.

Before their show, they have to click "Start Show" in the DJ Panel so that they don't get infractions for been inactive. So the IP's should always be up-to-date
