Streaming Statistics by Broadcast Radio - error

[liga]

Good morning — in addition to the apostrophe bug reported earlier, I have another problem. For listener monitoring I rely on an external application that has always worked perfectly: Streaming Statistics by Broadcast Radio. With an Icecast server and the mount point /autodj, everything worked flawlessly. After switching to Zerocast, it no longer works. What solution do you propose? Is there an alternative to that mount point?

Thank you for your reply. Kind regards.

It's fixed with RadioBOSS Cloud 3.1.1 release.

Zerocast exposes the same API endpoints as Icecast does

• /admin/listclients?mount=...
• /admin/stats

So it should continue working as it did. Do you know what APIs they call to check the stats? You may contact their support and ask about it.

Dear Support Team,

Thank you for your assistance. I have confirmed that the apostrophe bug has been successfully resolved.

Regarding the statistics issue, I have conducted further investigation. While the API endpoints for listener data appear to be backward-compatible with Icecast, there seems to be a discrepancy in the date format returned by the server.

I am forwarding this information to both you and the Streaming Statistics development team, in the hope that it helps identify the root cause of the compatibility issue. The error consistently triggered is:

"0x80131537: Stringa non riconosciuta come valore DateTime valido" (String was not recognized as a valid DateTime).

It appears that the application is struggling to parse the date/time string from the current API output. Please let me know if you need any additional logs or technical details from my side to help resolve this.

Best regards,

It appears that the application is struggling to parse the date/time string from the current API output. Please let me know if you need any additional logs or technical details from my side to help resolve this.

The /admin/listclients?mount=... API is not supposed to return any date/time values, so it seems they call /admin/stats and parse some field with date/time string. Zerocast does not offer any date fields in this API call result. Some Icecast versions do, e.g., stream start date, or server start date. This information doesn't seem very useful, so I suppose the service you use should just ignore if those fields are not present or empty.

If there are some useful date/time fields that help with statistics, we can add those of course.
