Icecast streams included in StreamFinder.com

[Streamfinder]

Hi-

I am writing to see if icecast can be configured to send a stream
update to StreamFinder.com in a similar manner to the way it handles
talking to shoutcast yp. ?

We would like to be able to offer live updates of icecast servers on
our site for our visitors and broadcasters...

In the config - this is the current xiph yp update part

<directory>
        <yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
        <yp-url>http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url>
    </directory>


We would like to build a hook in our service at streamfinder.com that would take
incoming pings from icecast stations that include this sort of setting
in their config file...

<directory>
        <yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
        <yp-url>http://www.streamfinder.com/ice-dir/</yp-url>
    </directory>

Any ideas on how we can work with the developers to build this in?

Thanks for any suggestions...

Best,
Chris C.

The sourcecode of the icecast yp is available from svn. Also there is a
webpage with some info.
So you can have the sources for both sides and there is IIRC also some
documentation.

Do you need more?

After you implement the yp-api every user that wants to can just add the
above snippet to his server config and will be listed at your directory.

Cheers
