Pirate Radio
allows you to easily track your listener activity in a graphic
chart form, by IP address, and in a standard web server log format.
List of
Individual listeners
Click on the yellow Listeners button in the main interface
to call up your Listener monitor.

The first screen
(white background) displays the unique IDs of each listener who
is currently connected to your station. The ID information displayed
is the individual IP of the listener. In this way you can see
if you have regulars who keep on connecting to your station.

The listener
display can be 'torn away' and adjusted by sizing. (click on the
edge and drag to the desired size. In the unlikely event that
you want to boot someone from your station you can click on their
ID and then click on the Disconnect button at the bottom of the
window.
Listener
graphs
Along the bottom of the window are three buttons that bring up
graphs showing listener activity over a period of 1 Day, 10 Days
or Total time since you began broadcasting. When you click either
of the buttons it will show you a line graph showing spikes of
activity. These lines are separated into a green, blue and red
line.

By looking
at this you can see how most of your listeners are accessing your
station.
Tip:
If the spikes in your graphs aren't distinct (too low to be
seen) this is due to the number of maximum listeners you have
allowed for in your Broadcast Settings. The graph is setting
the range according to how many you think you may be receiving
at a time. If you have it set to 100 maximum listeners, the
graph range will be very high but if you only get 1 listener,
it will show up as a mere pixel on the graph screen. To change
this, go to the Settings -> Connection
Settings screen and adjust your maximum listeners to a more
realistic number. It is important to set the maximum # to something
that your bandwidth can support.
Listener
Log
At the bottom right of the listener window, you will find a LOG
button. This is a direct link to your listener logs, written in
a standard web log format. Access these text files through this
button.
