relay on website

[mpulse]

question is it possible to make a sc relay off a website?

php script or somthing?

i have a dedi server but would like more relays, and is there a way to do it w/o having to get another vps or dedicated?

i was thinking a website.

i see these other indy stations with a ton of slots and i cant figure out how they do it.,



thanks in advance

if you have ssh access to the website to install the server then yes.

most webhosts run a mile at the sight of shoutcast,
unfortunately there are no magic php scripts to do this.

dammit, lol

ok thanks nick,

how do some of these indy stations afford to have like 2500 slots and 9 relays, i dont wanna mention names. but its a top station not corperate like sky or anyone, but they have just a few banner ads etc... and my station has out grown our 100mbit connection and additional 30 relay slots...

im looking for an effictive way to divert traffic off the main server and have a monster amount of relays..

lol

sounds kinda hard to do.

You and everyone else.

you would be amazed at what some people have access to and have been sponsored in terms of connectiviy..

bandwidth costs cash but stations do manage to get enough donations to run if they do it right.

hmm thats an idea....

thanks alot nick..

also heres a question have you heard bout the new digital cable switch in america, all american tvs will be able to recieve hd service thru a box like a cable box, so people with antenna tv will get hd service, there doing this off of multicasting.

multicasting could help the iradio people any word if multicasting is supported for sc?

[Nick@ss]

News to me but as i'm in the uk i wouldn't really see this kind of info.

but as shoutcast doesnt support multicasting and development is at a standstill i doubt you will see anything.
