Shoutbox

How would I go about making a plugin for my shoutcast server?

Eg. When someone types !playing - it grabs the currently playing song and pastes it to them in a message. Or even have the song as the pm

Also we have a requests system that is a form and gets submitted to a mysql database (which then can be seen on the back dj panel)
Would it be possible to have something like
!request <name> <song> submit to the database?

Also the current dj as !currentdj (dj name is the streamtitle)

If anyone could help that would be brilliant!

Yes, this would be possible to do, but nothing like it has been created yet. For the now playing, the easiest option I see would be to have the script retrieve the XML from the shoutcast server for recent songs. To make a request, you will need something else between the Plus! Script and the database, probably a PHP file.

If you are unfamiliar with scripting, your first step will be to download the scripting documentation. Look at other scripts too, to see how they operate. I wrote a tutorial that will be useful to you as well, [Tutorial] Communicating with web pages

Just make an XHR request with the same variables as the form. I'm actually quite interested in this even though I haven't used shoutcast properly in a few years
