|
|
Hello,
I have been using Shoutcast to play music over a local LAN. I use a shoutcast source and shoutcast DNAS server.
I am a new user of icecast. Ices source didn't have a GUI so i used the shoutcast source. I configured Icecast server to take input strem from shoutcast client. Earlier with shoutcast the playlist name used to be like
http://pgp-05-060:8000/listen.pls
which could be directly inserted in winamp and played. Now the icecast server shows the listen url as
http://pgp-05-060:8000/stream
which gives connection added to the winamp. what probably could be the eror or what should i do to rectify the same. Please help me on the same.
Regards,
Sachin |

It's not clear on what your question is, the second link you mentioned would be for the actual stream, whereas
http://pgp-05-060:8000/stream.m3u would be a playlist, but you can also write your own pls file and place that under webroot. So you can still have a listen.pls if you wish.

sir u are right that it is the actual stream address that i have given. but when i use shoutcast DNAS server, in winamp in the add url column it works.
when i use the icecast server, the icecast window shows the listen url is
http://pgp-05-060:8000/stream
of which the machine name and port number comes from the shoutcast client running on winamp.
on the remote machine i am not sure what url should be added in the winamp to make it run. the icecast listen url is not working as such. so the question is:
1. does the url need to be changed in some way
2. is there any authentication needed.
please help me with the same.
thanks,
Sachin |
