How do I change listener number?

mrthemesong · 10th March 2003, 02:56

I am using winamp 3 shoutcast 1.8 I am broadcasting 3 out of 32 listeners. How do I change the number 32 to a higher number? If you want to send me an answer directly, my email address is mrthemesong@yahoo.com

Remember to make sure the DNAS machine has enough bandwidth to support your new value.

Open sc_serv.ini/conf (Windows uses the .ini extension, others may or may not) with a text editor. Look for and change the following:

code:
; MaxUser.  The maximum number of simultaneous listeners allowed.

; Compute a reasonable value for your available upstream bandwidth (i.e. if

; you have 256kbps upload DSL, and want to broadcast at 24kbps, you would

; choose 256kbps/24kbps=10 maximum listeners.)  Setting this value higher

; only wastes RAM and screws up your broadcast when more people connect

; than you can support.

MaxUser=32

I was going to say read the documentation but it would most likely fall on blind eyes.
