Configuring Shoutcast for SAM

[madsere]

I've installed a Shoutcast on my Centos server and it works fine with Winamp. It appears I only needed to run sc_serv for this, in a pretty basic configuration.

I now want to use the same server with SAM. I disconnected Winamp and connected with SAM - everything seems fine except there are no sound coming out. The log shows track information to it's connected ok, so I guess the problem is something about mp3 encoding.

I've tried to wrap my brain around sc_trans, but no luck. sc_trans_basic.conf seems to think most people would be using a playlist file on the server.

Can you please guide me to how to set this up? Thanks much!!

if sc_serv works with winamp and not with SAM, I'd say the issue is with SAM. spacialaudio have a support forum full of helpful advice

Well the docs say something about having to use sc_trans and an mp3 license to play mp3 from anything but Winamp - if I understand it right. I don't mind buying an mp3 license but I need to know what to do with it.

Thanks for the hint, unfortunately I don't have any teenagers around I can ask here, but perhaps someone is reading this and know the answer.

Did you setup SAM with the encoder information? And connect? And it shows its encoding with not error messages "on SAM" ?
