Steamcast was written from the ground up to provide multiple stream source signals from one internal server. These source signals can either be initiated and generated an external source application such as Oddcast, SAM Broadcaster, SHOUTcast DSP, or sc_nsv (SHOUTcast/Icecast2 Source protocal tools) or by files on the local system or on other ICY/ICE compatible servers outside of the local system. Steamcast's interface is meant to give the end user as much ease in managing their server as possible and from as many different platforms as possible. Steamcast provides a web administration panel to control and manage users of the system and even the system itself. The API is developed to work from remote systems from multiple platforms so that a server may be managed easily from anywhere. Currently the only provided remote management tool provided is Steamcast Manager (yet to be released) which provides access to the steamcast system and it's configuration from a Windows Machine into any Steamcast server on any platform. More details will be announced about these and many other features which are spec'd out to be part of the Release 1.0.0 build as they become available.

Good to here, I only had a localhost to test on. This is setup for 1 source. I have not played w/ multi source yet. Perhaps in a later ver.

I will have a "lite" ver. soon that does not need an Admin password to pull feeds. It will have less options, as the data the steamcast gives to public vs. admin is limited.

what do I put here:

//Configuration
$stdef = "Server Name"; // Default station name
$stip = "0.0.0.0"; // ip of steamcast server
$stport = "8000"; // port of steamcast server
$stadmin = "Username"; // admin User name
$stpass = "changeme"; // admin password to (not DJ) steamcast serve

Yes sir. (all the scrn shots are in firefox) I have had reports that the "plugin" to download a player if not installed is still buggy. I have not looked into why firefox is having a problem.

Firefox will work on all players however I think real, mediaplayer, or quicktime must be installed. :nervous:

I just need to change some <if> player is not installed go get the correct plugin. I need to visit firefox's site and look for the embed / installer codes some day.

steamcast.cfg

; ShowLastSongs [*20]: This setting tells steamcast how many stream related meta updates
; to store in history. This capability was added for compatibility with reporting agencies.
; A Setting of 1 through 50 is acceptable.
ShowLastSongs=20

Default is 20 and you can set to 50, but you will have to edit forumhome_steamcast template and add $song[21] , $song[22] - $song[50]. 1 value for each song history you wish to show.

Awesome, liking the hack!

[davejohns]

This is really cool.

Silly question, i have a shoutcast server set up that i stream through.

Can i still use the hack? Ive set it up but it doesnt appear to work?? Its probably me!

Id really like to use this, been looking for something like this for a long time.

Any help would be great. Very very great.
