Re: [Savonet-users] feature request?

Sorry for the delay. I'm going to post something to github today or
tomorrow. It's different than I described. A JSONP solution. Basically you
place an XSL template on the icecast server that will spit out it's now
playing info as a JSONP response. Then on your website, you have something
like jquery make a JSONP call to that url, and you can write the response to
the web page however you lilke. It's a simple solution. It might have
scaling problems if you have a lot of listeners on your now playing page at
one time, but this is probably good for most small broadcasters.
