PRO Infinity Member since 2007 Hello all.I am rather new to this online broadcasting stuff, and seem to be getting more and more frustrated as I go along.I have a Live 365 account, but that doesn't seem to be working. I have downloaded the Shoutcast Server software as well as Winamp, but that doesn't seem to be working.
I have read through all 7 pages of the bradcasting guide, but I can't find the information that I need. I have read the SHoutcast documentation, and that's not helpful in getting me up and running either.Here's what I want to do.I want to host my own Shoutcast server from my house so that I can connect to it through VDJ and broadcast live.Here's what I need to know.Now that I have downloaded and installed the Shoutcast Server and Winamp, how do I make it work?If anyone could provide some helpful insight that would be fantastic!!!THanks for the community.WaynePosted Sun 03 Feb 08 @ 11:30 pm. PRO Infinity Member since 2006 are you behind a firewall? PRO Infinity Member since 2006 sorry, i read through too quickly. You have the first step done, but stuck on #2.like i said, you need to relay from vdj to shoutcast and then beyond. This means the port which you connect to shoutcast will be different than what the client connects to listen. PRO Infinity Member since 2007 Paz75.Thanks for all the help thus far.
Andrew87 PRO Infinity Member since 2005 dspsc.dll will never work as an encoder for the simple fact it is not an encoder! This is the dsp plugin for winamp; virtualdj has an integrated shoutcast plugin. Therefore the only system setting you can change is which mp3 encoder you would like to use; an mp3 encoder being the piece which converts what you broadcast into an mp3 stream. SHOUTcast DSP Plug-in is a multimedia tool that converts your media player into an internet radio. With this software, anyone online can listen to your broadcast.
I have scserv.ini configured as you said in Shoutcast, and the server up and running.What I can't seem to figure out is 2 things:1. What server to I enter in VDJ record configuration?2. What do I do in Winamp to connect to the Shoutcast server?3.
Do both VDJ and Winamp have to be running on my VDJ machine while I am broadcasting?I am sorry that I don't know what to do here, but I am VERY new to internet broadcasting.Thanks again.WaynePosted Mon 25 Feb 08 @ 5:41 pm. PRO Infinity Member since 2006 Ok, first and foremost, you dont actually need to install and run shoutcast server. You could just do it from VDJ only as it has a 'broadcast from ym computer' setting which acts as a shoutcast server. However I prefer to use the real shoutcast server because it can connect more clients and be more configured.Now, ignore VDJ for now. You need to test your shoutcast server locally.
Enter into your browser: You should get a small website which is the shoutcast server. It will also give you a Listen link which you can at least connect to and check.If that works, you can then try vdj with shoutcast. You'll need to set VDJ REC settings to 'broadcast to a radio server' and the server will be localhost and the port is 8000.
Make sure you remember what password you had set as well in the.ini file.That should be everything you need to connect. MAke sure you also watch the console of shoutcast because you will see connection attempts being made if the port is set correctly.This page is also informative, but deals more about firewalls, which is the last problem once you can get it working on your local machine.Posted Mon 25 Feb 08 @ 8:54 pm. PRO Infinity Art Director Member since 2004 you can use VDJ to broadcast to it. With the servers ip or url name, and with the password you have set in the shoutcast config file.

For others to listen to the stream is a whole other story. You can either give out the shoutcast page directly ( www.yourserver.com:port), where port is what you have set it at in config file. But that page looks very boring and lame.
So to integrate it into your website is better, but that takes quite a bit of knowledge about PHP and so on to do. But google for shoutcast.class.php and you'll find some info:)Posted Sat 21 Feb 09 @ 4:39 am. PRO Infinity Member since 2006 if you do want to use shoutcast sever and want to use the output of the computer or external mixer you will need to download the linein plugin. I do something similar during football season. Since radio stations can't stream football games I take the traditional am/fm air feed from the radio and plugin the cable in the headphone jack and the other end in the linein input on the computer.this way I can listen to the football game over my windows mobile phone or anywhere I am that has an internet connection.Posted Sat 21 Feb 09 @ 11:24 am. PRO Infinity Member since 2006 Oh yeah if you are in the states, which your profile says you are, you better be careful or else the music licensing companies (ascap, bmi, seasac) might come raining on your parade.
Technically if you broadcast any music you are supposed to have a license from those companies. The licenses are not cheap. 2 of the 3 have blanket licenses and the other is pretty convoluted (sp?).
Live365 makes things simple as they have agreements with the licensing companies. The fees are bundled in the price plan you select.
It is what turned me off of having my own internet radio station. I wasn't sure if you were aware of what the letter of the law is when it comes to broadcasting music on the internet (for those in the U.S.).Posted Sat 21 Feb 09 @ 11:34 am.
