Ventrilo

[kil2k]

Hi,

Is there a way to display who is online in Ventrilo for SMF 2.0.8? I've tried searching the boards, and Google, but can't find anything for RC2.

I'm looking for something that will display all the channels, as well as who is online, so effectively a copy of the layout you get when opening Ventrilo.

* margarett had to Google to know what Ventrilo is

Unless the server offers some API that can be accessed by SMF, I don't see how that can happen
You should ask in their support forums...

Will do, thanks

ventrilo still exists? wow....   I thought they had gone the way of the dodo.



as for your question...

Short answer: Possible, but difficult, and unreliable.

Long Answer: Ventrilo is pretty closed when it goes to their protocol ... Googling around shows that some people have tried to decipher it with Wireshark (with some success, see http://wiki.wireshark.org/Ventrilo ), but that's just playing in the dark. Users need to push the Ventrilo developers to be a little bit more open, and provide a client API.

Back in 2006, someone asked for it in their forums, but there was no reply: http://forum.ventrilo.com/showthread.php?p=44112. TeamSpeak has the ServerQuery API, and they don't have anything, so it's a big competitive disadvantage for them.

this seems to offer a status, at least...

you could include this generated code in a portal block...
