Stream another stream into Sam.

[JJDJRadio]

Hey there,

 

I have Sam Broadcaster right now, I found another show on ustream and i want to have them on my station. Couldn't I get another icecast account just for them and have it stream into my sam broadcaster and from there be pushed out through my station?

 

How do you all do syndication?

[qmr]

Yes you can.

 

For live shows I have an Icecast2 server on the same machine as SAM, I give my DJ's the stream IP, Port, Mountpoint to stream directly to my machine and have SAM set to play the stream at the required times.

 

Easy to set up and works well.

Can you explain a little more now?

OK,

 

Install Icecast2 on your machine. In config set your port default is 8000

 

Give your DJ's the following information:

 

Your IP (if not static IP open a no-ip account)

Your Icecast Port

A Mountpoint (Give each DJ a unique mountpoint e.g. /dj1 /dj2 etc)

 

In SAM open Event Scheduler

 

Click on +

 

Enter DJ name in Event Name then select add files to queue radio button

 

Click + URL and enter http://localhost:yourport/dj-mountpoint

 

In the window check it reads as: (change ipBottom to ipTop)

 

{# Add files to queue script #}

Queue.AddURL('http://localhost:yourport/dj-mountpoint',ipTop);

Activeplayer.FadeToNext;

Enter your desired times and save

Winamp (with the dsp to stream plugin) and Zara radio 1.6 are popular...... and FREE. Up2Date title if you can find a copy on the web works with Zara for sending track meta information.

Could always just play the stream using your pc and use a virtual pipeline software to stream it again using Sam Broadcaster. Just another method.

I like QMR's suggestion. but my question is will that bring over their music tags for royalty tracking purpose.

No unfortunately not. I did raise this issue with SpacialAudio a few years ago.

 

I'm guessing it won't as SAM will see the feed as just one continuous track.

This HAS been an issue, and one hopefully that will be solved in the forthcoming SAM 5 (no, there's no release date yet... even us suppport staff aren't privy to that info from development.)

 

SAM will see the stream as one continuous track. If the remote stream is coming from a SHOUTcast DNAS, there ARE methods to grab this data from the 7.html file, and then route it thru SAM... although I've never used it, there are those that swear by it.

This menthod can be found on the SpacialAudio.com forums. Let me know if you can't find it, and I'll try tracking it down. It's been posted several times. Do a search over there for "streaming metadata" and that should find it.
