What is Radio Toolbox?Radio ToolBox is an application designed to give you an overall
image of your station's progress and status. Features either
include or will include
1) Ability to accumulate listener count data over a period of time
with a set interval of checking the stat of a server given in
the list.
2) Ability to accumulate data on Song popularity.
3) Ability to remotely administrate the application from a
web-browser interface.
4) Ability to gather then parse stats of a network of servers.
5) (USS) Universal Server Support System, what this means is it
will essentially be able to identify any server which uses
the HTTP Protocal and follows the HTTP/1.0 specs. This does
not mean, however, that is supports all servers.
6) Current Server Support includes:
- SHOUTcast
- Steamcast
- Icecast 2
7) Graphing data in a human readiable way over the period of a
day using the ALPH system. More on ALPH is available here:
http://www.radiotoolbox.com/docs/faq/alph.php
8) Ranking songs in order of most heard.
9) (UWS) Universal Web-Interface Service, this is essentially a
service built into the application to interface with any
webserver which supports the FORM POST method of sending data
into the server to be stored on a database, or static file.
Examples of use are showing what's playing, showing the status
of your servers, or showing the amount of users listening to
your servers on a website.
10) (FIS) FTP Interface Service, use FTP to put the Current song,
Listener count or a History of the last songs played on a
webserver with a simple template file, this is the best
option for those who are not yet comfortable with working
with a scripting language and UWS.
11) Log Breakout, this feature breaks the log file up by days
rather then one big log file. This will give your daily log
files the name of MM_DD_YYYY_rtb_log.txt for truely unique
file names and easier browsing.
12) Current Stats Window, a seperate window to show you
everything that is going on within Radio ToolBox including
Network Consumption, Listener Count, Time online and TTSL.
13) Hot-Keys, for quick action on a Radio ToolBox function
(ALT + C) opens the Current Stats Window. (CTRL + J) About
Box plus a complete list of Hot Keys.
The feature list is never closed and can and will continue to grow.
