Hi everybody!

I've searched the forums but can't find a solution
to what I'm looking for, and now I'm hoping that someone
could help me out here..

I want to setup a single shoutcast server with multiple simultaneously playing playlists, and I also need to administrate these playlists using a php script.

Is this possible currently, and if so, could you hook me up with some quick pointers?
I'll code the php myself, so that's not the issue, the hard part is the shoutcast-stuff and how I'm supposed to connect the php-script to ShoutCast.
Note: I do not want on-demand streaming, I want radio.

Many thanks for reading!

Best,
Lagring

You can't.

You can set up multple shoutcast servers on the same machine, each with it's own unique port, and stream different sources to each server. But one server can only run one stream.

Believe it or not, you could run several source/DNAS pairs on the same PC -- the real limitation is the bandwidth required to suppoort the total listeners required by all of them.

Each source can run a different playlist and/or have a different bitrate.

Each DNAS server must have a different config file and PortBase.

*** Nothing more, nothing less will do ***

OK, thanks for the answers!

I've almost figured as much and now I'm set on building my own DNAS called PlaySync that will allow for great php hook in through a php module.

Many thanks again!
