I can go t http://mydomain.com:8000/ and login to admin area but
Server Status: Server is currently down. this never changes and if type the url http://mydomain.com:8000/music/mymp3 as listed in FAQs I get an error "Invalid resource"

I have over 5,000 mp3s located on my server and yes have change the path to ContentDir=/home/user/www/music/mymp3/ (within folder mymp3s I have like over 700 sub-folders)

I have checked all FAQ and spend over 6 hours but no luck

Please help I really want to share my music over the net

"server unavailable, disconnecting" means someone conencted to the DNAS without a source.

Fix: Source the DNAS.

However, you seem to want on-demand content which isn't configured correctly.

Check out the Sticky post titled:

Thanks!

"Fix: Source the DNAS" How do you setup DNAS?

I have already checked "SHOUTcast: Important Info & Answers to FAQs. READ ME!" I did what's stated in FAQs but can't make it to work.

At this point I just want to make this thing work I don't care if it's on-demand or whatever

Please replay

With on-demand, you don't access content using http://mydomain.com:8000/ you access is using http://mydomain.com:8000/music/mymp3.pls (notice the change from what I have here and what you initially wrote)

With live content (that is tunes loaded in Winamp and/or using your soundcard to broadcast sounds), you do access content using http://mydomain.com:8000/

Want live content now?

Actually nothing works for me.

If i go to http://desi-nation.com:8000 it shows that server is down and i think it has to do with Source the DNAS and I have no idea wht is Source DNAS

http://desi-nation.com:8000/members/music/mymp3.pls
i get "Invalid resource"

Please see if you can help me fix this thing

thanks

The DNAS is just the audio server. You need to provide live content for it to serve. This can be done with Winamp and the SHOUTcast DSP or if you want a full linux solution use sc_trans_lame. Both can be found at shoutcast.com and once you have either setup and running your station will be "up".

Hi,
Actually now I was able to make it work, but the following problems creating playlists.

Do i have to add each song to the playlist?
I have over 500 album and it's way hard to add each song to the playlist.

Also all the tracks are named for example if a track name is Hey Hey Hey and I have it has hey hey hey.mp3 but if I add this track to playlist it won't work. However it will work if i rename it as hey-hey-hey.mp3

There is no way that i can rename over 5000 tracks. Please help me find a way to create playlist and songs to play list withing renameing.

Thanks

jjudge · 20th April 2003, 02:12

go the root directory of your mp3's and run:

find . -type f -name "*.mp3" > playlist_filename.lst

dnetwork · 20th April 2003, 14:30

Thanks for your replay!

I was able to make test.lst to test but when I run ./sc_trans_linux I get the following error for all tracks that are listed within test.lst

jjudge · 20th April 2003, 16:15

make sure that the sc_trans_linux and conf file are in the same directory as you mp3 files. otherwise run:

find /location/of/your/mp3s -type f -name "*.mp3" > playlist_filename.lst

dnetwork · 21st April 2003, 16:28

Does anyone know how can i fix this

WARNING: No InputSamplerate defined, assuming 44100
WARNING: No InputChannels defined, assuming 2!

everything works but i see the above error in logs and about after 1 hour sc_trans_linux gets disconnected

thanks

jjudge · 21st April 2003, 20:22

Not sure why you get disconnected after an hour, but you are seeing those warning messages because you need to specify variables for Bitrate, SampleRate and Channels in the sc_trans.conf file.

Before you post any more questions, I recommend that you read through documentation and conf files comments and first try to solve these problems on your own. The above directions on creating a playlist were taken from the sc_trans.conf file comments.
