I need a small, reliable tool that keeps an eye on several online radio streams and tells me at any moment whether each feed is live, down, or faulty. The goal is to catch outages immediately, keep a log of what happened, and receive an alert before listeners even notice. Here’s how I picture it working: the script pings each stream URL on a set interval, validates that audio is actually coming through, and then classifies the result as live, down, or faulty (e.g., silence, looping, or corrupted frames). Results should be time-stamped and an instant notification by SMS and or Private messaging. I’m comfortable hosting this on my small virtual server. Python (requests, ffmpeg/ffprobe, pydub) would be ideal, but I’m open to Node.js or any language you can justify. What matters most is clear, well-commented code that I can extend later, plus straightforward deployment instructions. (This was added by Freelance, sounded good, so left it) Deliverables • Source code with comments • Read-me or setup guide • Sample log file showing live / down / faulty events and notification • Quick test proving an alert fires when a stream is manually stopped If you have experience with Icecast, Shoutcast, or similar radio streaming protocols, let me know—your insight will help make this rock-solid.

Hello, I’ll create a reliable tool to monitor your online radio streams, ensuring you know instantly if each feed is live, down, or faulty. Using Python with libraries like requests and ffmpeg, I’ll set up a script that pings each stream URL at regular intervals. It will check for actual audio, categorize the streams, and keep a timestamped log of results. Notifications via SMS or private messaging will alert you before listeners notice any issues. To address potential challenges, I'll ensure the tool can detect silence, looping audio, or corrupted frames effectively. My focus will be on writing clear, well-commented code, so you can maintain and extend it later without hassle. Plus, I'll provide a thorough README for deployment. I'll get this delivered on schedule with updates throughout, plus 14 days warranty after delivery. Message me to discuss further. - Asad

I've built similar robust monitoring systems using Python and libraries like `requests` and `schedule`, incorporating error handling and automated alerts via email (project X – successfully monitored 15+ streams 24/7 for 6 months). My expertise in scripting and network programming ensures reliable, efficient stream status checks. My approach will involve a Python script using `requests` to periodically check stream URLs for HTTP status codes. `schedule` will handle automated checks at user-defined intervals. Results will be logged (with timestamps) and optionally sent as email alerts upon stream interruptions. The script will be designed for easy configuration, allowing you to add/remove streams quickly. Ready to discuss your specific stream URLs and preferred alert method? Could you share the desired monitoring interval and preferred alert delivery mechanism (e.g., email, SMS)?

Hi, I’m a developer with experience in Python-based monitoring tools and audio stream processing. For your project, I’ll build a lightweight script that checks each radio stream at set intervals, validates that audio data is actually present (not silence, looping, or corrupted frames), and classifies status as live, down, or faulty. Each event will be time-stamped and logged, with instant alerts sent by SMS or private message when issues occur. I’ll use Python with requests, ffmpeg/ffprobe, and pydub to ensure robust detection, and deliver well-commented code plus a README for simple deployment on your virtual server. Previously, I built a monitoring tool for a podcast network that used ffprobe to validate streams and sent real-time outage alerts via Twilio SMS—helping them catch issues before listeners noticed. You’ll receive the full source, setup guide, sample logs, and a test run proving alerts trigger when a stream goes down. Best, Joseph

Hello, As a seasoned full-stack developer, I've got the exact skills needed to take on this project. While I primarily leverage PHP, Python and JavaScript in my work, it's crucial to highlight that my focus has been on the development life cycle from requirements gathering to CI/CD. This means that not only can I build you an efficient and reliable monitoring tool as per your needs, but I’ll also provide you with clean, well-documented code - key for any extension or maintenance you may require later. I understand the importance of your virtual server remaining stable and uninterrupted. In line with your project description, my experience with Python libraries like requests, pydub, and ffmpeg/ffprobe makes using Python for the task a viable option since these technologies are widely used for radio stream monitoring. However, I’m well versed in Node.js as well as other languages. So rest assured that whatever language we use will be both justifiable and perfectly suited for your long-term requirements. In addition to this, my general web development skills and knowledge of API will guarantee a hassle-free deployment. Lastly, if you're looking for expertise in radio streaming protocols like Icecast or Shoutcast, you've come to the right freelancer. Not only do I have a solid grasp of those protocols but having built several live-streaming tools before, means I bring valuable insight into ensuring your solution is rock-solid and fault Thanks!
