Intro File won't work, help!

sonicclub · 24th September 2002, 03:36

I have tried just about everything to get the intro file to play when the station starts, but I can't! I have tried converting the file to the same sample rate at the station, and doing the different things in the SHOUTcast server settings and nothing happens, please tell me what to do, One of my friends made me a cool intro for my station, it can't go to waste.

is it the in the same channel mode (mono or stereo) as your stream?

sonicclub · 24th September 2002, 07:55

Yeh, the station is mono and so is the intro, and the intro is also the same bit rate at the station 24 kbps, do u know what's wrong?

not without any links to your streams and to the intro file by itself. One thing you haven't been specific on though, are you even hearing the intro file play? or do you just hear the stream right away.

Check your paths to the mp3, DO NOT MESS with the %d bitrate stuff just put a real valid filename in there and make sure the mp3 has the EXACT same name.

My station's URL is http://sonicclub.******.com:8000

The intro file is on the D drive of the computer that has the intro, the intro file is called intro.mp3. that's the exact file name i have in the SHOUTcast server configuration

well I did not hear an intro, do you see any errors in your log when you first start the server?

sonicclub · 24th September 2002, 21:05

No, I don't see any errors in the log, tell me the steps u would take to successfully setup a intro on a station, maybe there's a step i missed

Make sure you removed the ; at the beginning of the line for the introfile. It should be:
IntroFile=D:\intro.mp3

Of course make sure you restart the DNAS after you make any changes so that the latest .ini/.conf is loaded.
