This how-to will not replicate TLG's How-To on installing a Shoutcast Server. Rather this focuses on those who do not wish to broadcast from a remote location and would rather have the server play Mp3 located on the same server based on a playlist. TLG How-To is found here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=227645

Please make sure you go through the above thread first do that first before you continue with this section. I will assume you have created a user just for running shoutcast (and isn't doing it from root) and you are currently running as that user. I will also assume you have already configured your shoutcast server (with passwords and so on).

Follow the steps:

1. Download: http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/...s_posix_040.tgz

2. Untar
tar -zvxf sc_trans_posix_040.tgz

3. Configure
cd sc_trans_posix_040
pico sc_trans.conf

Make sure that the config file points to the Playlist file you are going to generate in step 4. You need to configure these configuration variables:
- PlayListfile
- ServerIP: This is the IP of your Shoutcast server which is probably the same server.
- ServerPort: Port 8000 is default
- Password: This is the password that you enter in the Shoutcast server configuration
- Bitrate: Depending on your radio, you can tweak the bitrate here
- The rest are fine default.

4. Create a playlist based on mp3s on the server:
find /path/to/mp3/directory -type f -name "*.mp3" > playlist.lst

5. Start your Shoutcast server
cd /path/to/shoutcast/server/
nohup ./sc_serv &

nohup and & is not compulsory but is nice to have. Nohup outputs to a log file and & runs the process in the background and returns you to shell.


6. Start your broadcast
cd /path/to/broadcast/server/
nohup ./sc_trans_linux &


It should now be playing. Access your server by going to http://serverip:8000/listen.pls or if there's an URL on that IP, you can use the URL as well.

If there's any questions, feel free to ask.

nice how to sprintserve

Where do i download Linux??
and is there a easy install with pictureS?
and easy read guide?
Because i hate to look on so much text

linux normally comes installed on dedicated boxes from data centers but if you want to install linux on a home machine then you may need to try looking for it on google.

i was told that a winamp streaming station cannot be run on a shared hosting plan, is that true ? ? ?

also, can you stream VIDEO with shoutcast as avi ? or do you have to convert to NSV??

i tried converting to nsv once and it just didnt work.

This is mainly true because most shared hosting plans do not come with shell access. In order to compile and run shoutcast, you would require access to the machine your shared hosting account is hosted on. Shoutcast can be an extremely bandwidth intensive application so not many hosting providers like to offer this service, but there are still enough that do.

As for streaming video, I haven't tried this recently (Actually, I haven't played any tunes through a shoutcast server in a while either) but I'm sure if you read the sc_serv documentation it would provide more than enough information regarding this.

is it protected from hot linking ?

how do you set it so that when someone is not broadcasting from a remote location, shoutcast will switch to the playlist file?

Well if you are talking about hot switching i.e. automatically switching over and take over when someone disconnect, I am not sure that's possible easily.

You just have to log in and start the playlist manually when there's no one broadcasting remotely.

Hi sprint serve. I am interested in shoutcast broadcasting on windows. I put my pass, my IP, maxusers but still it says errors connecting to shoutcast.com. could you please tell me where is the problem. my internet connection is fast. thank you very much.
regards,
cami

You need your own server. Shoutcast.com is not a universal broadcasting station where you can connect to to broadcast.

How is bandwidth on the shoutcast servers? Thanks

Depends on bitrate, depends on number of listeners.

Basically 128kbit/s (most commonly used bitrate and agreed to be almost CD quality), you are talking about 16kbytes/s. So you can do the Maths.

Is there any tool that can measure exact shoutcast used banwidth?
I know that I can limit total bandwidth by bitrate and number of listeners, but how to know how much bandwidth was actually used by each shoutcast server?

A cron job to get the current number of listeners from Shoutcast XML stats in a friendly interval, than plotting out a graph by multiplying the listener number with bitrate. However it will not be much accurate.

So there is no such normal ready made application or plug-in?

You can assign an ip per shoutcast server and graph the bandwidth based on IPs. Or you can run them on different ports and similarly measure the ports.

I am curious about

Part 4. Create a playlist based on mp3s on the server:
find /path/to/mp3/directory -type f -name "*.mp3" > playlist.lst

I cant seem to get this to work,.. Can some one explain this in better detail please?

Thanx

baisicly this is putting the output of "find" into a file called playlist.lst

The command finds all the mp3 files that you have stored on the system, outputs the filename and stores it in a file. This file is then used as the playlist.

not exactly. It only finds the MP3's that are in the directory specified.

Yes naturally. Just that if you notice the way the path was written in the tutorial, it means the same thing here.

You can setup mrtg and measure bandwidth on the basis of ip or port or uid

hi all,

does anyone can help me with broadcasting from the soundcard linein

i'm using SUSE 9.3

thanX

Can this be ran using .ogg files instead of mp3?

Yeah, I'm having trouble with that part too. It keeps telling me that no such file or directory exists when I can clearly see it. I even chmod to 777 just to make sure.

NEVERMIND. I had a typo in my sc_trans.conf file. :peace:

Hey Yall!!

I think this was done mannualy from command line, simple Next Song and Exit functions

sorry tarakonas I cant Understand what your saying :s

I also notticed on stremats when i run ' ps x ' command it wil display various process trunning of the same is this why the songs are not displaying and why the songs also skip or cut in half its a mess :S

is dont think this is normal!

Thanks guys!!

i suggest killing all sc_serv & playlist in background with killall -9 sc_serv and killall -9 playlist. After that, go to your home dir where shoutcast is and start it
./sc_serv /path/to/your/conf.file &


t.

I also notticed on stremats when i run ' ps x ' command it wil display various process trunning of the same is this why the songs are not displaying and why the songs also skip or cut in half its a mess :S

No, ps shows you all system processes. One sc_serv process indicates one running SHOUTcast server in the system. ps command has nothing to do with your Shoutcast problems.

Sorry not to be clear I did not ment that the ps x command was causing the problem it was just my way of saying that is how I view the process

this is what I get after following your suggestion

same this multiple times, dont know why this is happening.

HELP!!

I think you're having problems due to multiple shoutcast launches using same config file, same ports and same playlist. Everything should be ok, when ps command shows only one shoutcast process. Right now you have launched same server 5 times.

Thats exactly my problem!!

now Why the heck is that happening? thats what I cant understand I run the command once and it still opens the process several times.

Could it be the OS ??

Hmm, are you sure you're running it only once? because multiple runs are not something that can be defined in the config. And if you are running only once- probably you have some problems with your server itself.

If I were you, I'd try to login into shell twice (using 2 Puttys) at the same time. Kill all your processes and try make sure you don't have any running. Then try to launch your Shoutcast simply by entering ./sc_serv & in your Shoutcast dir.
After done that, try second Putty window and monitor your processes. If server still launches 4-5 different processes instead of single one - contact your system /hosting administrator.

Part 4. Create a playlist based on mp3s on the server:
find /path/to/mp3/directory -type f -name "*.mp3" > playlist.lst

Thanx

Much simplier: ls /path/to/mp3/*.mp3 > playlist.lst

Server is currently down

can anyone tell why is server down ?

Any idea how to run multiple bit rates ?

Do you mean VBR or just multiple streams of different bit rates? For multiple streams you set up a few different instance of shoutcast. So if you need 2 different bit rates, you have 2 shoutcast servers etc each with their own config. They will need to have different ports or different dedicated IPs.

I mean same stream on different bit rates ,I need to use 2 shoutcast but how about sc_trans_posix_040

This is great post sprintserve ;)

how do you set it so that when someone is not broadcasting from a remote location, shoutcast will switch to the playlist file?

Sorry old post I know but...

Once sc_trans is running you have to kick the src from the shoutcast admin page 'http://hostip:port' to let a human DJ take over, it gives you about 10 seconds to connect then sc_trans reconnects.
Then once the human DJ disconnects sc_trans takes over.

I wouldn't advise using the shuffle option in the sc_trans.conf as it plays the same track 3 times in a row quite often :)

Sorry not to be clear I did not ment that the ps x command was causing the problem it was just my way of saying that is how I view the process

this is what I get after following your suggestion



same this multiple times, dont know why this is happening.

HELP!!

I'm having the same problem how did you (or anyone else) work this out. And are you sure this isn't normal for this version of sc_serv and sc_trans?
I'm getting the same symptoms as you though ...
need help too!

That is message when i try to start sc_trans_linux .

In sc_trans.conf on line 19 i have this:

; PlaylistFile (required EVEN IF RELAYING) - playlist file (to create, use
; find /path/to/mp3/directory -type f -name "*.mp3" > playlist_filename.lst
find /var/tmp/. /mp3 -type f -name "*.mp3" > seka.lst

/var/tmp/. /mp3 - dir where my mp3 files are stored

seka.lst - My playlist where i have write path's to the song's like:

/var/tmp/. /mp3/SekaAleksic2005DodjiIUzmiMe.mp3
/var/tmp/. /mp3/SekaAleksic200502KadCujemKorakTvoj.mp3


What i am doing wrong. please help me, and thanks.

Are you sure seka.lst is in the conf ?

Are the paths to your mp3's correct ?
please remember these are CaSeSeNsItIvE.

seka.lst is placed in trans directory of sc_trans not in mp3 directory is that problem. ?

Yes, al what you see is okay :(

The command find /var/tmp/. /mp3 -type f -name "*.mp3" > seka.lst needs to be run first in shell to generate a playlist (in your case seka.lst).

Once you have done so, set the playlist in conf to seka.lst. The command is not meant to be set in the conf file. It's a shell command to help you generate a list of filenames with the extension .mp3 and output it to a text file.
