Transcast start error

[spywaredz]

I install transcast for auto dj.(Linux Server) But its not working.. Problem's picture:

[DrO]

that is a massively old and out-dated version of the Transcoder. all i can say is to try using the current one (as per http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=324877), otherwise there is no official support available with the version you are trying to use.

but my shoutcast version 1.9.8 and i try install transcoder 2 but i cant build configuration please help me..

[DrO]

the v2 Transcoder will work with a v1 DNAS (since it was released before the v2 DNAS was released so it was built to work with a v1 DNAS from the start).

what have you actually tried to do with setting up a v2 Transcoder install?
looked at the example configs?
tried using the configuration builder?

the Transcoder does not handle relative paths for the config file when trying to run it as a daemon - you need to specify the _full_ path for the config file (until a newer build of the Transcoder is released which has this limitation removed).

i wouldn't run the Transcoder as a daemon until i've got everything else running correctly with it - as i think you're going to have more issues once you've got it running with the correct configuration file.

how i change to mp3 encode setting? i tried but its now worked.

[thinktink]

...
encoder=mp3
;mp3quality=0
;mp3mode=0
bitrate=96000
samplerate=44100
channels=2
...

You also need to purchase an mp3 encoding license before mp3 will work and put the name and code into the configuration.

it means you have to do ./sc_trans /full/path/to/sc_trans.conf and not ./sc_trans sc_trans.conf if trying to use it as a daemon until the next public update happens.


with everything else posted, i'm not sure why encoder=aac was put in the config file when it's only allowed to be mp3 or aacp.


as for E msg:thread::start() - Could not start thread that basically means you don't have the appropriate permissions on the machine you are trying to run sc_trans to be able to run it i.e. the host has limited what can be run and is something you would need to confirm with your host provider. the Transcoder probably shouldn't segfault under that scenario though if it cannot create the threads needed then segfaulting is no different from what you'd be getting otherwise.
