from streamscrobbler import streamscrobbler
streamscrobbler = streamscrobbler()

##streamurl can be a url directly to the stream or to a pls file. Support for m3u is coming soon.
streamurl = "http://217.198.148.101:80/"
stationinfo = streamscrobbler.getServerInfo(streamurl)
##metadata is the bitrate and current song
metadata = stationinfo.get("metadata")
## status is the integer to tell if the server is up or down, 0 means down, 1 up, 2 means up but also got metadata.
status = stationinfo.get("status")
