Slitz Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Icecast is one of the best for streaming from a PC Shotcast is more Server needed imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKIye Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Hi Frank, Ever made a visit to http://www.ustream.tv/ ? Setup of a profile is easy and free - but You can choose at anytime for a pro edition It provides a setup who installs the software on your pc ... Add clips / webcam etc to your broadcast section and its up and running Its also possible to stream "audio only" ... but honestly I don't know how to manage this I have the software on my pc, I have a Ustream profile ... but I never use it ... Visit and listen @ BW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankallen Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 I used to be part of the ustream blogtv generation i don't think internet radio should be in video form unless you are going to broadcast music videos. at that point it stops being internet radio more music television. But thanks for the info http://i.imgur.com/qrEUBH7.png Check us out http://www.itsjustradio.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a mock site I'm just playing around with to get the settings etc right before i integrate it with the site project I'm currently working on. http://herman.likes-pie.com Anyone have any ideas what the issue could be Thanks In Advance Frank http://i.imgur.com/qrEUBH7.png Check us out http://www.itsjustradio.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoutcaststreaming Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I have to guess since you haven't supplied all of the information (like what format you are using) this FLASH player does not work with AAC or AAC+ formats. Only one or two FLASH players do.

DrO Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 i assume then that you're either connecting via a flash policy server so you can run things via sockets connection and then re-packetise the AAC stream data to what Flash requires or using an intermediate server / tool and that converts things to what Flash can then play ? and reading the blurb on the page, it sounds like you don't support different streams on a 2.x DNAS setup (referring to "Mount Point (Icecast only)" which seems a bit of a missed opportunity if there isn't support for it with 2.x setups).

JamboUK Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I would say that your router is blocking whatever port you are streaming via. If you are streaming via port 8000 then you need to open this up via your router so that external computers can connect to the ice cast server.

riderough Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'm currently struggling to open any ports with port forwarding - especially with the ISP blocking any attempts to of yours to open any ports - anyone know of any ISP's which allow this? It seems Virgin Media has a company policy (based on legal reasons) to not allow port forwarding from a laptop - gaming is different and is allowed... but how do you get around this problem with the blocking with a laptop?

Brutish Sailor Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 You ever considered using a host? Keep in mind this, you dont have to necessarily host shoutcast. You can use a host that provides a server, and stream to them. Most hosting is pretty cheap compared to the past. Not to mention you can get "launch page ad-funded hosting."

f109radio Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hey. I'm running kind of a similar setup. I have done some searching for this very thing, and I found that if you want to broadcast exclusively from your apache webserver you should look into a software package called AirTime (https://www.sourcefabric.org/en/airtime/). This is open-source and you can control it completely from your webserver. It can be a pain to setup depending on your rig, but if you can get it up and running with Icecast - you are "off to the races". Hope this helps.
