What is castit you ask?
Castit
was originaly wrote to monitor shoutcast servers on Unix, with no gui
interface and was a command line driven application. Its primary and
only function was to parse the xml stats and insert those stats into a
mysql server. We decided that it would be great to share this
application with the rest of the webcasting industry and thus the port
to windows.
Does it still work with Unix?
Yes and No, the main application itself runs on windows but interacts
with various services on unix such as mysql, apache, php.
Will you make a GUI Port to Unix for kde/gnome
desktops?
This is currently not in the works but if we get enough people asking
for this, then we may do so.
So what can i do with castit?
Castits most powerfull features, is the ability to insert stats into a
mysql database. It his highly recomended that you use this feature. In
doing so you will be able to keep track of all songs played and at what
time, and how many listeners where tuned in when a cetain song was
played. Put more simply it can help track what songs suck! and which
ones dont! This will also help track your peak broadcasting hours.
So why does CastIt have so many features and
options?
Our main goal is to make CastIt the most versatilve application for
genereating stats/templates to show to your listeners or for mere
station monitoring. We found that alot of applications have this feature
and that feature, so we decided to compile all great features, like the
ability to use a mysql database directly without scripting etc..
