Well for my first post here, its going to be a question.
I recently setup a shoutcast server and all is going well except for one little issue that i would like.
For those that have experience with shoutcast would know you can setup a 'content' directory which allows on-demand streaming of whichever file is requested.
This is my directory setup, sorry if its a little hard to setup.
/shoutcast/
|--- sc_serv*
|--- sc_serv.conf
|--- /stream/
----|--- playlist.lst
----|--- sc_trans.conf
----|--- sc_trans_linux*
----|--- /content/
--------|--- song1.mp3
--------|--- song2.mp3
--------|--- song3.mp3
By default the content folder is setup and is in /shoutcast/ but if i kept it like that i would have to have to copy all the mp3's to that folder too, to allow demand request of them all.
So i edited the config to point the content folder to "./stream/content" which is where all the mp3 files are and should now be able to demand a request.
Now basically my question is, why does it not work? I tried to stream all of the following address' but none worked;
<my-domain>:8000/song1.pls
<my-domain>:8000/content/song1.pls
<my-domain>:8000/stream/content/song1.pls
Now the documentation notes that when demanding a file you request song1.pls not .mp3, as the server will send the .mp3 file if it exists.
So what am i doing wrong? Have i configged it wrong somehow or am i just requesting the wrong address?
Thanks, in advanced.
