Can someone give me an example, to config the mp3 path?

And i dont know why i get the Message:

the channel and sample rate errors are normal, at least as far as I know. I see them every time I start sc_trans.

As for the not being able to play songs. One of two possibilities:

1. are you sure you have an mp3 codec installed? Linuxe uses mpg(mpeg)123. Some distributions do not include this lib due to the heat over mp3's.

2. Have you given the playlist the full paths to the mp3 files? The relative paths seem to confuse the hell outta sc_trans.

[TrippleEx]

Hi,

i think i have not the mp3 Codec....Is it requiered for sc_trans???


Is there a tutorial some where?

[fc*uk]

yes it is. just download the mpg123 codec for linux.

Or google, mpg123

[TrippleEx]

Hi, thank you for your fast reply.

I donwload and install:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=457464

I do not know whether that the right scource!?

Is there not a easyer way for making Auto DJ for ShoutCast ?

Is there GUI available for Config it ?

Thank you.

[fc*uk]

no gui for sc_trans.

I noticed in your console output that you are starting sc_trans by :./sc_trans_linux

You need to also give it a config file unless you edited the default sc_trans.conf file.

I usually give my specific configs a name and start sc_trans like: ./sc_trans_lunix configuration_file.conf

Anyway, I always get those sample rate and channel errors everytime I start up one of my boxes, so those are nothing to worry about.

[TrippleEx]

Ok thank you, now the sc_trans is working, but when i want connect with SAM3 to the Server, than i can not connect to the Server, i get "connection error" message from SAM.

Did the sc_trans doesn't automaticly disconnect, when i am connecting with DJ Client like SAM ??

[fc*uk]

I have never used SAM before.

Anyone who uses SAM know if this is possible?

[fc*uk]

you have to kick the source from the server and then connect with your sam client. sc_serv is only going to allow one source to be connected at a time.

Also, please be aware that once you disconnect your SAM3 source, sc_trans is not going to try to reconnect. You are either going to have to manually restart it or setup a cron job to check on it...

[Nick@ss]

this might be an easier solution...

Thank you, but i don't want pay !!
I've got my own root Server !!

[trossachs]

I've installed mpg123 to my own machine due to Segmentation errors which I have also been plagued with.

Is there anything I have to do to the shoutcast_trans configuration in order that mpg123 can be recognized?

[fc*uk]

no. If mpg123 is installed properly, sc_trans will use it by default.

[trossachs]

Oh OK. So shoutcast will know when mpg123 is installed and simply configure of its own accord?

[fc*uk]

yep. It is a lib that most everything looks for ... no configuration required.

[trossachs]

OK cool. Well normally shoutcast_trans bombs out after 2 or 3 days. The server restarted on April 1, so will come to you and let you know how long it stays up if it is over a week or so. Much obliged ppl!
