Yes, this can be done fairly easily with XMLRPC then routed to something like XyText.
It all depends on the amount of work you want to do. _____________________

Hi,
Thanks but we are complete noobies when it comes to code. I have no clue what I am doing in any way shape or form. I want to pull specific information from my shoutcast server, Such as listeners and song list. Could you help me? or if not know some one that would be willing to take this on?

Easiest way to do this is backside scripting on your streaming host. Since SAM2 uses mySQL, you can easily get the data from there with a little PHP.
When the song changes, have it email your chalkboard in game. To make it easy, make your subject the artist name, and the body the song name. This way when the mail arrives, you dont really need to parse anything, as the artist and song name will already be in two different LSL variables Unfortunately, since it's done backend, this makes it rather hard for someone to help you. If you can get your backend to mail properly, I'd be happy to sell you a chalkboard to process and display the data. |
