Need Help. Only Works Once A While!

Xn00bX · 15th June 2003, 13:44

I have both Winamp 2.8 and 3.0. I have no idea how to run Shoutcast on 3.0 since I just downloaded it, so I'm using 2.8 and the latest version of the Shoutcast server to do it. I then run my 3.0 and connect to my 2.8's shoutcast server. It works fine the first time, and then it doesn't. What happened? All I did in between was to disconnect and reconnect.

I dont have static IP. So I'm using whatismyip.net to determine my IP. I know I can use LAN IP but I wouldn't want that since I want my friends to join in next time.

So tell me, where did I go wrong? It'll play the intro file, the scpromo.mp3, and then nothing happens. But it worked perfectly the first time.

Thanks for the help.

One other thing, under my Input Configuration, my Input Device is Winamp (Recommended)

Xn00bX · 15th June 2003, 13:59

Sorry for making so many posts, but when I go to http://myip:8000, and click on Song History, there's nothing there. My server is still running and I'm still playing songs, so what's up?

matt2kjones · 15th June 2003, 15:41

u cant stream from winamp 3 thats why

use the latest version of winamp 2 to stream

Xn00bX · 15th June 2003, 15:54

Alright, that's what I did. I'm using 2.8 to host the "radio" and using 3.0 to "listen" to it. But the song just doesn't play on 3.0. Are you trying to tell me 3.0 can't even "listen" to a ShoutCAST?

matt2kjones · 15th June 2003, 15:56

ahhh right i thought u were trying to broadcast using winamp3

yes winamp 3 can PLAY shoutcast

is the DNAS and winamp DSP on the same machine?

if so type in "localhost" without the quotes, in the dsp

Xn00bX · 15th June 2003, 16:03

Yes, they are on the same machine, and yes, it's on "localhost" now with port "8000"

Are you playing any music?

Try loading up some songs in your playlist and then connect to your server to listen.

Xn00bX · 15th June 2003, 16:14

Yes, I'm playing music, and my playlist is loaded. What I did was, I streamed my 2.8 with Song A, and put it at 0% volume. Then on my 3.0, I connect it to my 2.8 server, and put on 100% volume. I can't hear anything... so you may think it's because I put it on 0%, nope. I tried 50:50, and it didn't work at all.

jagwac · 15th June 2003, 16:17

Do you have your mixers properly configured?

Xn00bX · 15th June 2003, 16:22

I'm not sure if they are configured properly, but I made sure they are ALL NOT MUTED, and ALL at MAX volume. Will that work? I'm pretty sure it does.

Alright, I just read through that again, and this time, I notice the following.

"(Use Encoder 2 because Encoder 1 currently has a bug)"

Prolly why it wouldn't work. But when I change to Encoder 2, or 5, my Winamp hangs! What's up now? Those have bugs too?

jagwac · 15th June 2003, 16:43

Open your mixers.

Select the recording mixer.

Check (Select) "What You Hear" or "Stereo Mix"

Restart Winamp

Connect to your server.

Play music.

Now, connect to your stream.

Hear anything?

Your intro file also may cause this if it is not encoded at the same samplerate as your broadcast.

Xn00bX · 15th June 2003, 17:10

It's working now. I didn't try the Mixer way, but I am using Encoder 3 and Output 3. It's working, thanks for all the help.
