Impossible to resolve host
 

Hi,

This is going to be my last go around and I'm probably done from the whole streaming things because apparently technology has changed. It was a lot easier before than it is now. Virtual DJ 8 says I am connected directly to them which is fine. Ports 8000 are open to my internal IP address of my machine. SO VDJ can connect but my shoutcast says no. I've used my admin password my other password. Hell I've even put a random password and I still get the "impossible to resolve host" issue. The server is running on my screen in cmd which i see it. Even the installation went smooth. WTH is my ip address to connect to and listen? This is the part that confuses me the most. Why can't I just stream from my box, why do I need shoutcast? So with that being said, what IP address do I use with shoutcast when I want to stream on virtual DJ 8. This is been going on for months and it's driving me insane. I'm about to bash my head against the wall to how complicated this has become from 6 years ago.

I just had a discussion with someone. My port forward is correct. IP address and local IP of my machine which is 192.168.0.4 and my ip address. Ports 8000-8001 are open. I even tried disabling my firewall. Nothing seems to work. I put in my ip address with port as the stream and used my password and it still doesn't work. What the hell is going on here? Before anyone says it, my server is running for shoutcast on my screen in cmd.

what do you mean your shoutcast 'says no' ? do you have any logs to show that the client is attempting to connect and broadcast? what are the exact errors you get and from what program are they being generated?

Virtual DJ gives me this error Impossible to resolve http://myip:8000/ I click on shoutcast server and it runs with no errors.

When I run sc_serv I get this in logs

#Software: SHOUTcast
#Version: 2.4.7.256

Port forward https://gyazo.com/33f4c9922e4caa4d19c1e6728dcb0a3d

ok so your forwarding your external IP to your internal ip... if you already on the internal network (obviously) then you dont need to use the external ip or port forwards (only if you want to have others tune in who are not on your local network). you are forwarding to 192.168.0.4. you are trying to connect to 127.0.0.1. those are not the same. if you have shoutcast configured on the same computer as vdj. and shoutcast srcip and dstip are both set to 'ANY', the 192 and the 127 should both work locally. if its set to just 'localhost' or 127.0.0.1, then only that machine will be able to tune in. if thats the case you should bind shoutcast to the local lan ip 192.168... and not your loopback address 127.0.0.....

I'm trying to broadcast outside my box for listeners. :(

lets see that shoutcast config file

adminpassword=***********
password=***********
publicserver=always
requirestreamconfigs=1
streamid_1=1
streampath_1=http://24.1.202.219:8000/

6 years ago, I use to connect to this directly from virtual dj without shoutcast http://24.12.217.41:8000/VirtualDj.mp3. Now I require a host and it's become nearly impossible for me to connect to the outside world.

Someone help me for the love of God and Jesus Christ.

How come I can stream, all ports everything is perfect yet nobody can hear my stream but I can on local?

When people try to access the ip address on a browser it says not allowed. Can someone please help me understand why am I the only one hearing the music from local and not outside when firewall antivirus everything is OFFFF?

I'm not going to sleep for days until I figure this out. My death is in your hands. I will figure this out and someone will try to help if my life depends on it. I'm sick and tired of shit shit not making sense.

the stream path is incorrect in your config

here is an example using multiple streams on a single server

the stream path is everything after the first / in the url, and is used to define the url for that specific stream id.

code:


http://domain.com:port/256mp3

http://domain.com:port/128mp3

code:


streamid_1=1

streampath_1=256mp3

streammaxuser_1=500

streamauthhash_1=##############



streamid_2=2

streampath_2=128mp3

streammaxuser_2=250

streamauthhash_2=##############



streamid_3=3

streampath_3=64mp3

streammaxuser_3=100

streamauthhash_3=##############



streamid_4=4

streampath_4=24mp3

streammaxuser_4=50

streamauthhash_4=##############



streamid_5=5

streampath_5=256aac

streammaxuser_5=100

streamauthhash_5=##############



streamid_6=6

streampath_6=128aac

streammaxuser_6=100

streamauthhash_6=##############



streamid_7=7

streampath_7=64aac

streammaxuser_7=50

streamauthhash_7=##############



streamid_8=8

streampath_8=24aac

streammaxuser_8=50

streamauthhash_8=##############

also if you want to have this server be listed publicly you would need to generate an authhash and set that in the config for every stream

i BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO INPUT YOUR 5 DIGIT PIN AFTER PASSWORD
