I have done that yes.

"What You Hear" setting for the imput of Soundblaster Live! feed vs. WAV.
Any sound that you can hear can Bcast as a DJ to the shoutcast server.

- Teamspeak, Roger Wilco or IM program that can connet your PC to others w/ a headset. As they talk or you talk it will be the feed that is sent to the shoutcast server.

I have seen people use 2 soundcards for I/O because they did not have a full duplex soundcard.

Hmm is there a place where i cand find the program along with the instrouctions?

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.

How's that lite version update coming along?

[jluerken]

Is there a way to add more than 1 server?

[Zachariah]

I have reworked the code a bit
- No working Build yet (soon)

Current location is {Inside What's Going On?}
DEMO - teasers :bunny:

I am moving things around to get ready for other ideas. :glasses:

Changes:

1) Shoutcast "Lite" and "Full" are one now.

- If you do not have an admin password for your shoutcast server you can get limited information from the server "lite".

Server Name
Choice 4 players (winamp, quicktime, media player, real player)
Bitrate
Current Song
Users Connected
User Max
Online / Offline status

2)Stats and History moved
- There was a need to hit collapsible +/- image to show song history and server stats. This has been moved to a 2 vbmenus as a click dropdown.

3) Show Off Line Status
Set to "No" to remove off line template when the shoutcast server is off line, or there is no DJ source.

4) Select what usergroups can see the add-on.

Hi Zachariah,

it would be nice to have the chance to show more than one shoutcast stream.

Can you add an option for this too?
