multiple stations (with playlists) in the same port

kmpatra · 10th June 2013, 12:55

Hello. In shoutcast 2 I noticed that,through endpoints,we can run several streams in the same port of the server. But seems that this helps only in streaming by encoder,where you can specify the stream id and run a different stream for each one. If you want to run multiple stations in the same port,through sc_trans? Can each station of them have its own calendar/playlists/sc_trans.conf ? And,if it's possible,what happens when one of these stations want to reload its own conf/playlist/calendar? Is there the ability to reload/restart its own services without affecting the same port running streams?

nope, you'd need to run multiple sc_trans instances to have different playlists as sc_trans takes _one_ input and can make _many_ output of it but cannot do _many_ inputs and outputs.

we have installed the sc_trans as a service (windows server) through this command

sc_trans.exe install sc_trans 0 0 sc_trans.conf .

So,in order to have multiple sc_trans.conf files(one for each station) we should run multiple sc_trans services ?or is there another way?

i have to assume you're running sc_trans as a service so it'll auto-start when the machine loads?

if so, you need to make destinct "sc_trans.exe install ..." services which have their own name and also config file e.g.

sc_trans.exe install sc_trans 0 0 sc_trans.conf
sc_trans.exe install sc_trans_2 0 0 sc_trans_2.conf

as doing as you currently are will only ever use the 'sc_trans.conf' file and will not do what you want in having one sc_trans service per stream and it's own associated configuration.
