Running Peercast On Same Machine & Connection As Source St

[Jeeper One]

Hi everyone:

Just curious about something....

If I were to run a Peercast server and have it take up one of my 2 slots from the SHOUTcast server that runs my main broadcast, would that be like relaying a radio station to Live365?

I ask this because I just put my radio station back on Live365 via relay from an unlisted SHOUTcast server and am wondering if Peercast would be like that for video.

I don't wanna do it if it's gonna take BOTH slots of my server AND THEN SOME.

Just curious...

Cheers for now :)

The Peercast server would take up one slot and the stream (video, audio, w/e) would then get listed at yp.peercast.org which isn't quite as popular (yet) as Live365.com.
I've currently two video streams running through Peercast: they're listed in the TV-section (http://yp.peercast.org/?type=&bitrate=&genre=tv) of Peercast's YP.
BTW if you're planning on relaying a Shoutcast NSV-stream with Peercast then Giles (Peercast's developer) recommends (http://www.peercast.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1990) this version (http://www.peercast.org/peercast01211-win32.exe). It's a test version (mentioned here (http://www.peercast.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1976)) which supports Theora streaming but also fixes the problem of Peercast displaying a Shoutcast relayed NSV-stream as a MP3-stream.

Oh snap akshaye, I was wondering why it was showing as MP3 and now this problem is going to be fixed.

Peercast has a future after all!

Hi everyone:

Boy...I thought configuring a SHOUTcast server was tough, but that is NOTHING compared to configuring a Peercast relay. Aren't there simpler P2P clients out there (preferably one that isn't script based)?

Cheers for now :)
