Is there a way to let listeners hear with out winamp?

Krowten · 10th December 2003, 23:47

Well Ive been testing out my Radio, since i got it to work! wahoo! anyway I noticed a few people got an error that downloading winamp 3 solved. I tested this on my moms computer didnt work until I downloaded winamp. Is there a way i can get ShoutCast to stop shall i say "descriminating" against other music programs, so that they may work in harmony with no errors?

For the .asx (WMP).. put the following in a notepad document and then save it as <whatever>.asx

code:
<asx version="3.0">

  <title>TITLE</title>

  <entry>

    <title>TITLE</title>

    <author>AUTHOR</author>

    <ref href="http://yourIP:yourPORT/"/>

  </entry>

</asx>

Of course, change things to fit your needs.
Note: This only works in WMP 7.1 and up
Note the trialing slash after "yourPORT"

For the .ram file to open a RealPlayer stream, enter the following into a notepad document:

code:
http://yourIP:yourPORT.rm

Then save that as <whatever>.ram

Simply upload those to your website and link them and they will open in the appropriate player.

Do you host the webserver or does someone else?

djmastermind · 11th December 2003, 11:30

If you don't and know no one that does, you might as well sign up for a free GeoCities site just to hold your files.

Krowten · 11th December 2003, 20:59

ok so i upload that to a free host or osmethin like that? ok now how would i go about linkin that to the site actual site? I have everything revolving around Proboards and they dont allow u to upload anything because they are for forums so i usually use either tripod.co.uk or Freewebs.com to upload it.

So basically if i upload it to a diffrent host thats not connected to the site at all, how would i link it all together?

djmastermind · 11th December 2003, 21:04

You can upload to any webserver. If the address is www.mysite.com and you uploaded mymusic.asx and/or mymusic.ram, then you would link http://www.mysite.com/mymusic.asx/ram

Very simple. I would create a sticky post in your proboards containing the links.

Krowten · 11th December 2003, 21:12

k i will thanks

oh and one more thing how do i link it for Winamp cause i forgot where i seen it last and i couldnt find the code.

djmastermind · 11th December 2003, 21:19

Link using this format: http://yourIP:yourPORT/listen.pls Replace "yourIP" with your IP (which you can find here) and "yourPORT" your portbase defined by your DNAS (server) config file. The default is 8000.

Krowten · 11th December 2003, 21:25

o ok thanks last question i have right now um for the WMP code do i put what i want in the 2 title sections and author or are those suppose to be liek current song

FesterHead · 11th December 2003, 21:26

Put in what you want.

The DNAS doesn't stream titles to WMP.

Krowten · 11th December 2003, 23:02

Awesome! Can we have a link to test with? ASX and/or RAM.

If the fester is still watching this thread, how would you handle the situation where the shoutcast stream is located at http://IP/stream/value in an asx file, similar to how shoutcast.com links some of their files through the .pls

FesterHead · 12th December 2003, 14:49

Try the same technique descibed above

Is this your stream or someone elses?
