Can't make it work =(

[3xp0]

Hi everybody!
I installed server... I guess configured it right, but when I'm starting it evereything seems good, before somebody would try to connect... then I got message that server unavailable, disconnecting.
Also I didn't understand how to make list for playing?

[Tom]

From what you have described it sounds like there is no source connected to the server. You need a source and this is usually in the form of Winamp with the SHOUTcast DSP. This will allow you to broadcast whatever Winamp is playing so you would make a playlist in Winamp and play that to broadcast a list.

Tom

[3xp0]

Well, I made a usual list in Winamp... how I can make it play to server? I'm sorry... i'm lame =(

[Tom]

Here are the needed steps to get up and running. Verify you have done them or do them and see if that helps.

1) Download the DNAS. You can find it here: http://www.shoutcast.com/download/license.phtml
2) Run the file you just downloaded, this will install the DNAS.
3) Download the DSP. You can find it here: http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/s...2b-windows.exe
3) Run the file you downloaded and this will install the DSP into Winamp.
4) In the Start menu find the "Edit SHOUTcast DNAS configuration" and change the password to something other then "changeme". You can also take this time to change your listener count and port base if you wish.
5) Open Winamp and load the DSP (Ctrl + P > DSP/Effect > Nullsoft SHOUTcast Source)
6) In the window that pops up go to "Output" highlight "Output 1" and press "Connection".
7) For the address leave it at localhost if the DNAS is on the same machine, otherwise put in the IP of the machine with the DNAS.
8) If you changed the port in step 4 then put the value you entered in here.
9) Change the password to what you entered in step 4.
10) Change the "Encoder" to 1.
11) Click on the "Encoder" tab.
12) Select "Encoder 1" and change the type to "MP3 Encoder"
13) Set the "Encoder Settings" to the quality you want.
14) Start the DNAS (Start > SHOUTcast DNAS > SHOUTcast DNAS).
15) Play a song in Winamp and press "Connect" under the "Output" tab of the DSP.

Hi Tom!
Thanks a lot!
I guest it works... but I'm not sure... Can you try to connect please?

[Tom]

Yeah it's up and running. You may want to add a title and all that other stuff when you get a chance. To do so in the DSP: Output tab > Yellowpages > Description field also you can fill in the other stuff.

Hey! Thanks a lot Tom!
You're really big help! Thanks again!

Top hi again!
I got another problem =(
Some people can connect, but some not... and I ahve this message:

[Tom]

Give this link for people to try to connect to you: http://24.164.94.114:8000/listen.pls

As far as those entries from your logs those aren't errors. That is just a log of people connecting and disconnecting... although it does seem odd the same IP kept trying and only stayed on for a few seconds and only got 8192 bytes sent.

Tom

[hottice]

RAWR i did all those steps and it just wont connect, it says localhost i changed pw and made sure to put it in, i even tried a new port, it just says connection, disconnecting, connecting dissconnecting over and over

[Tom]

The DNAS is up and running correct? What does the log for the DNAS look like, any errors?

Tom

[mynus]

ahhh I can't get anything to work it loggs on and starts broadcasting but I no idea were it's going or were I can accsess it, after it loggs on the the server moniter says...

<06/17/02@13:59:44> [yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave error ()
over and over again, I'm behind a firewall but I was told there is some way to get everything to work. How do I get everything to work and what is not working right now I'm kinda confused

[icarus81187]

I read the last post about not connecting and it does the same thing with me. Your reply didn't help... how can i stop it from doing the connecting... disconnecting... not connected thing?

[hubcap]

i took ur 15 steps and got these errors
[yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave error (nak)
[yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (please type something else in the stream title/description field)
i asked a few friends and i cant figure it out...

[Tom]

In the DSP: Output tab > Yellowpages > Type something in the Description field.

Tom

[hubcap]

ok got that fixed
im dumb got another problem...
http://my-ip:8000/listen.pls doesnt work they get page not found...

[hubcap]

also i looked at my logs and ofund this...
[source] listening for connection on port 8001
my port is set for 8000 not sure if that helps...

[Tom]

That means that the DNAS is waiting for a connection by the DSP. The port number shouldn't cause alarm. The source uses the PortBase + 1, so that part is normal. You had the DSP connected at one point to get the yp_add so that is not the problem. It might just be a case of getting your IP wrong. If you are getting yp_tch then find your station in the SHOUTcast yp and have a friend try to tune in that way.

Tom

[hubcap]

well i set it up and everything no errors
then i looked on the SHOUTcast site for my station and it didnt find anything...

also i get
[yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 24.188.123.195:8000) from the Internet, disable NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection timed out))
i disabled my firewall so it cant be that and i have the right ip

[Tom]

Are you on a network sharing an internet connection?

Tom

[hubcap]

yea...
damn it gay network

[Tom]

You need to setup port forwarding on whatever is allowing you to share the connection (i.e. ICS, router, etc.) Take a look at the manual for info on setting this up and/or search the forums for your device since this may have already been covered.

ok i read what i have to do and dont understand it... so instead of wasting your time... ill waste otehr peoples time!!!

[BigJuanTheFurby]

I've followed the 15 steps that Tom posted, and I'm able to connect to myself, using the http://myip:8000/listen.pls. Granted, I only get about a 10 second loop, but it's enought to tell me I can connect.

Problem is, no one else can connect to my server.

I don't have a firewall running, I'm on a Cisco 678 set in bridging mode (which is a straight pipe to the connection, no NAT or routing or anything).

Any ideas?

[Trinitrophenol]

errr.... i got my own private domain from Selfhost... they say u can actually broadcast using dsp but i don`t know how to configure... can teach me ? thanks!

[igeligel]

I'm behind a router in a LAN,
I mapped the ports 8000-8001 an serveral other, ALL TCP + UDP
I tried http://www.radiotoolbox.com/cantheygetin/ and :
"Reason Given: Connection refused
More about this error: This essentially means that the port is open to the internet but has no services associated with it. There is no firewall protection on this port."
If i connect my winamp to my server (running on the same PC) this message appears: "[yp_add] yp.shoutcast.com gave extended error (Cannot see your station/computer (IP: 80.128.69.165:8000) from the Internet, disable NAT/firewall/ISP cache (Connection refused))"
The sever works intern from any other PC in my LAN but not outside???

[Ventrue1980]

ok I try to install it and it says winamp is not present in that directory. does it just not recognise winamp 3 or something?

[DamienD]

Hmm...I can only make a lan radio station. I tested that one but i don't really know how to make the whole thing online.

I think it has something to do with the ip addresses. Plz , someone help me.

[mtmouse26]

I downloaded the SHOUTcast DSP and tried to install it ( Using WinAmp3 ) and have the SHOUTcast server program installed ... Please help ...

What do I do now?? And what do I do next to get it running to be able to broadcast?? I run off a Cable Modem connection.

[kenton23]

Yeah i got the same problum, i have winamp3 and the isntaller wont reconize that winamp is installed.. if someone has these files not in the installer can you give us a link or put them on the web for us to DL couse this bites!

[kaollasuu]

ok...i followed the steps and fwded ports 80-81. at first the y-p was connecting to me and i could also connect myself but no one else could. so i changed the ports (all of them on fwd and in the shoutcast plugin and in the inf) but that definitely didnt work so i switch back to 80-81 and now its giving this msg.

Do a SHOUTcast forum search on '400 bad request'.

Look for the post by jsd2k titled
bad request???

Look for the post by eth1k titled

Tip 16:

You must first start up the "Shoutcast DNA GUI" server monitor before you connect with winamp.

I didnt know this and that is why all last night i kept getting Connect~disconnect~connect~disconnect and so on and so on and so on....



If I knew this info last night I would have saved myself a headach. hehe.

man what link do i give people the ip on does not work i think i might have changed a setting

[FesterHead]

Originally posted by Goat26

Your DNAS link: http://yourserverip:yourserverport
Your listen link: http://yourserverip:yourserverport/listen.pls

It's difficult to say why the one you tried doesn't work if you don't tell us what you tried.

Here are a few guesses:
1. Your ip is dynamic
2. You're giving out the wrong ip

Fixes:
1. Get a static name for a dynamic ip at http://www.no-ip.com
2. Give out the right ip

Don't know your ip? With the DNAS machine, go to http://www.whatismyip.com and see wht gets reported.

[Mugtoe]

I went to my status page on shoutcast, and I clicked on the admin login link. What is that for and how do I determine my username and password? Or is that not even something for me to click on? I've tried most combinations of passwords I can think of, but I'm not sure what it's connected with or if I'm even supposed to be going to that link.

Any help?
