How to get stream from external source

schoeppchen · 4th April 2003, 15:30

Hello,

is it possible to somehow get a stream from another external source (shoutcast server) and promote this stream via an own shoutcast server? The idea behind that is to provide a unique radio-stream from another stream and that not every client has to get this stream by himself (which costs lots of bandwith with more listeners you have).

I set up the shoutcast linux server (current version) and the broadcast tool for linux, but I can not see any config providing such streaming.

Thanks for your help in advancve...

Setup your DNAS to relay the other DNAS.

code:
; RelayPort and RelayServer specify that you want to be a relay server.

; Relay servers act as clients to another server, and rebroadcast.

; Set RelayPort to 0, RelayServer to empty, or just leave these commented

; out to disable relay mode.

; RelayPort=8000

; RelayServer=192.168.1.58

RelayPort = The other DNASs portBase
RelayServer = The other DNASs ip

Cool, did not really see this in the config file, but you are right ... Thanks for helping!

well there is a easier way in my oppnion.

Go to shoutcast.com with winamp running, and your shoutcast streaming. and then find the show then hit listen. Good things about this are

1> Make your own stream name at your own bitrate
ex. show A broadcasts at 128kbs: show b (you) can broadcast at 56K or lowerer for low quality listeners

2> You can put in your own comercials when they break, nifty huh! but if your supporting them why don't you just put it in and go.

3> No relaying and changing and restarting of your server required.

just some musts: I do like to do this sometimes but you must try to change your title and stuff in the shoutcast DSP and name it like

show name stream #2 (lower Bitrate). Thats just curtious. Since your trying to help this station. NOw if your supporting Digitally imported uhhh not a real good idea. If you know what I mean. Just relay and everybody will be happen then. but I hope I gave you another way to re-broadcast as I call it

peace. Good Luck

Looking at a severe lag time if you do this tho. For some things that would not be a problem, but say you're doing a live show, it can be as much as 5 minutes behind "live".

true; but if its lower bitrate its pretty much better for those lower bitrate listners. Really its your call
