Hi,

i'm trying to setup play-on-demand content for my website, but I keep getting a "404:Resource not found" error.

The NSV files are correctly encoded (vp61/aac) and the appropriate plugin loads, but it just can't play the file!

I've placed the nsv file (bradford1.nsv) in the content subdirectory of the shoutcast directory. I haven't edited the ContentDir in the shoutcast conf file, so that content directory is the default, correct? So the location I try to load using the activeX plugin is http://www.garethwestern.com:8000/bradford1.nsv
Does that look correct?

Is there any way I can echo the content directory that shoutcast is using, just to make sure it's correct?

Cheers!

Shoucast does not do on demand nsv streaming. If you want to stream NSV files on demand then just put them on a webserver and create a pls file that points to the NSV file. This will load the URL into winamp. If you put a url into a winamp playlist winamp will stream the content whatever kind of server it is on. THis will also work with the activex plugin. Just put the file on a webserver and point the activex controll at it. see here where i have done it http://www.clickon.me.uk/handsomedog/embedded_video.htm
