Downloaded install went smoothly. I also download from shoutcast. Now I have no clue what Im doing, how to set this up ect... Any ideas? Thanks.

I have the same problem Currently our shoutcast server is down.
All files are uploaded and CHMOded correctly. I own the server that shoutcast is on so i have no problems with ports. I am currently using 9981 because a clien of mine uses 8000.. Any ideas how i can get to show it is on ???

Guys. Zach has created a hack which just reads the server status information, streams the song info, provides a link to listen to the stream and allows access the to stats. He really can't be expected to answer all the questions on configuring a shoutcast server. I guarantee if you are not seeing the server online then there is a port issue somewhere (doesn't matter if its on your own server - check your firewall).

Here are some useful links
Winamp SHOUTcast Forums
Radiotoolbox - Ensure you are the IP you think you are and do a port scan - if it fails you haven't configured your settings correctly. It's not the hack.
Portforward.com - Ensure you have set up port forwarding correctly for your router

Hope this helps.

Hello,

how is it possible to bring the modification in 2 times since I have 2 Streams and these gladly would explain! Thanks for the info.!

Greeting

I am reworking this hack. I do not have an ETA on it.
- Multi servers
- and mash light and full options in 1 hack.

It would be great to have an Addon that creates new threads as the new tunes are being played.

For example, Song A is the first time being played, and the bot creates a new thread with a poll.

Something like Digitally Imported Radio forums http://forums.di.fm/showthread.php?t=2302

Good idea

I think we would have to keep track of the tracks.

i have a small query :( how do i install shoutcast ? on a webserver

Make sure you have Unlimited Bandwith on your web package.

The bandwith useage depends on "# of users connected" and the quility of the song in kbps.

uploadspeed / bitrate = max listeners , always leave some for overhead

Example: 256k upload speed / 56k bitrate = max 4 listeners ( 4* 56 = 224kbps ) keep in mind that your provider says he gives you 256kbps upload, the actual speed might be much lower.

Bitrates
192k CD quility
56k stereo
24k mono (like an AM radio, but works for music)
8k voice

You will need SSH access to your server.
