more than 1 stream

[luke9511]

is it possible to run more than one stream with 2 different play lists? if so how?

[DrO]

you need two sources providing the different streams, is then whether you run 2 x legacy v1 DNAS or 1 x v2 DNAS (and then need to ensure that at least one of the sources are able to use the v2 protocol, otherwise you can only use the "2 x legacy v1 DNAS" option).

i have winamp and the latest versions of the shoutcast server and dsp is there another software that will work?

[DrO]

sc_trans, some versions of SAM (typically the ones you have to pay more for) and there are some other broadcast programs i've heard people mention but cannot remember the name.

if you're using Winamp + Source DSP, you're going to have to run 2 Winamp + Source DSP installs, with one set to stream id = 1 and the other set to stream id = 2 and then you need to make sure that you've got the v2 DNAS server setup to accept 2 streams (if you've requirestreamconfigs=1 set then you need to make sure there is a streamid=1 and streamid=2 entry in the configuration file).

i tried running 2 versions of winamp but when i try to run the second one it just switches to the one thats already open

[DrO]

it needs to be done as a completely separate second Winamp install - if needed you can just copy + paste the current Winamp install into a new folder and then you'd need to re-configure things for it as needed. see http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=355663

running as a multiple instance of the current Winamp install (which is not the default behaviour as you are finding) will work until you close it and then it will only save the settings correctly for one instance. hence the need for two separate copies.

ok i got the first half done is there any videos or anything that tell how to setup the shoutcast server for more than one stream?

[DrO]

i already said how to do that in my second reply re the handling of requirestreamconfigs. the v2 DNAS by default accepts multiple sources unless that option is set in the configuration file.

i followed the video and i set the config for multiple streams and change the ports but only one will connect and the other wont, ports are 9000 and 9001, if i set them both to 9000 i can only connect to one stream

[DrO]

the default for the Source DSP is to use the v2 protocol i.e. non-legacy mode - make sure that option is UNCHECKED as per http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/Source_D...v2_DNAS_Server.

again, as i said in an earlier reply, you need to specify the stream id accordingly in the Source DSP configuration. otherwise you're going to have both trying to connect as the source for the same stream and that will not work.

one is set as stream 1 and the other is set to 2 and it is unchecked

[DrO]

they both need to be unchecked and both need to be using port 9000 in the Source DSP settings.

if still not working, you need to provide some useful information like the log the Source DSP can generate for connections to see what error(s) are being reported (with passwords removed).

[luke9511]

i did a full uninstall and a reinstall and now everything is working on one port but i cant get them to connect on different ports even know the server says awaiting connections on ports 9000 and 9001

[DrO]

it doesn't work that way. you just need to use 9000 NOT 9001 - that is what legacy sources (using the v1 protocol) connect on even though you specify 9000 in the configuration.

so change them back to both using 9000 and that is all that needs to be done. i don't know why you're thinking you need to use both of them.

thanks for the help i have it working and connect on my local network on my ipad but when i try to connect using my cell phone on 3g it times out and some times i get a error on the server saying "remote socket closed while waiting for data"

[DrO]

could be any number of things, like the network blocking it once it realises what you're trying to access (the stream) or the player on the phone doesn't like / support the stream, etc.

[luke9511]

i did some testing and found that if i try to listen on here http://scifinerd.servebeer.com:9000 the pls file will not work but if i go to shoutcast.com and search there it works

[DrO]

because the playlist being generated is exhibiting a bug related to #1 from http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?p=2790357#known

so if you have set destip in the configuration, remove it. if not then there's little to do without a newer DNAS build which there isn't one currently.

also you're configuration is wrong and you need to remove the streampath entry as you're telling some clients you're AAC when you're not which will cause them to not work.

thanks i got everything working, changed aac to mp3 and had to set a static ip on my server now i just need to find a shoutcast alternative so i can run a separate stream on port 8000. thanks for all the help!

[DrO]

"shoutcast alternative" - what are you talking about ? you can use what you've setup to run on port 8000 or just do whatever as it's your setup.

i need to run a 2nd stream with different music to use in something called second life for a 'store' in there, so i need to either run both on different ports with one server so one place can connect to on genre of music or i need to get icecast or something like that (though there is no windows version of icecast right now)

[DrO]

as was already covered, you can run multiple streams in the version of the DNAS you are using. you just need to make sure you're using sources in the correct mode and that in whatever you're trying to get it in, you use the correct url for the stream being used.

i have no experience with second life so i don't know what it wants i.e. if it connects to the DNAS server and 'relays' the stream or what.

It connects like this http://scifinerd.servebeer.com:9000 and it connects that's about all I know

What worked for me:

I run 6 instances of the server DNAS/win32 v1.9.8 on my main host. Why? Cause my router can only DMZ one IP. Yes I have tried Port Forwarding and all that NAT stuff. Bottom line DMZ is the only way. Not a big deal, I image my machines and no worries. I then run 6 Virtual Machines and connect to each sever port. Works for me 100%. Easy to set-up and the entire set-up is imaged.

Why so many? I run 3 different types of streams at 2 different rates for each. My internet connection is one HUGE pipe!
