Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

I have recently been looking into broadcasting my own station,,

Everything as far i can tell if going well except one thing.....

Icecast2 Version 2.x is working fine running and tells me everything correct as far i can see

OddcastV3 is where i think the problem is, on configuration if i set "Server Ip" to "localhost" everything works fine. if i change it to my correct IP it cannot connect... i was just wondering why this is and i think this is why people can't connect to e 8[

I know you get this alot but any help will be appreciated

Thanks alot, pez

if more info is needed or picture i can get it for you i hope

The IP a source client uses can be internal (eg localhost), what matters for external access is that the <hostname> is set correctly in the icecast xml and that the external point of access (eg NAT) sends requests to the server. You are probably in a private LAN where the NAT is not bouncing requests back into the LAN when an external IP is requested.

Hostname is set as my current IP

maybe it's because im in a LAN 2 wireless comps joint to a router

If someone tried to connect they say its starts doing summin then just "end of playback" this is on winamp

would like a bit more help please! Thx

i dont know what wrong

[karlH]

If they get something like a web page then the connection part is working, whether playback works depends on the codecs and the player in use.

Does this give anyone a better idea? people connecting either get timed out, end of playback, or nothing

Another problem maybe.... i can connect to oddcastV3 and Icecast, but not shoutcast :S

based on the url in the picture, I get a timeout. So Either your firewall is blocking external access or it's not forwarding to the icecast.
