An Icecast Statistical Relay is a type of relay that allows you to mirror the statistics of a remote streaming server, such as the number of listeners, the current song, the genre, etc. This can be useful for monitoring and reporting purposes, or for integrating with other applications that use the statistics data.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to set up an Icecast Statistical Relay using Aimnova.com, a web-based control panel that allows you to manage your streaming servers and create online radio stations. Aimnova.com supports both SHOUTcast and Icecast servers, and provides various features and tools for streaming and broadcasting.

To set up an Icecast Statistical Relay using Aimnova.com, you need to have two Icecast servers: one that acts as the master server, which hosts the original stream, and one that acts as the slave server, which relays the statistics from the master server. The master server does not need any special configuration for this type of relay, but the slave server needs to have some settings in its configuration file.

The following configuration snippet is an example of how to set up an Icecast Statistical Relay on the slave server:

<relay> <server>master.example.com</server> <port>8000</port> <mount>/stream.ogg</mount> <local-mount>/relay.ogg</local-mount> <on-demand>0</on-demand> <relay-shoutcast-metadata>0</relay-shoutcast-metadata> <stats>1</stats> </relay>

This configuration tells the slave server to relay the statistics from the stream /stream.ogg on the master server master.example.com:8000 and make it available as /relay.ogg on the slave server. The <stats>1</stats> option enables the statistical relay mode, which means that only the statistics are relayed, not the actual audio data. The other options can be adjusted according to your preferences.

Once you have configured your Icecast Statistical Relay, you can access the statistics data from the slave server in various formats, such as HTML, JSON, or XML. You can also use custom XSLT templates to transform the raw XML data into your desired format. For more information about the available data and formats, please refer to the Icecast documentation or visit aimnova.com/knowledgebase
