Running Peercast On Same Machine & Connection As Source St

Jeeper One · 9th July 2004, 10:09

Hi everyone:

Just curious about something....

If I were to run a Peercast server and have it take up one of my 2 slots from the SHOUTcast server that runs my main broadcast, would that be like relaying a radio station to Live365?

I ask this because I just put my radio station back on Live365 via relay from an unlisted SHOUTcast server and am wondering if Peercast would be like that for video.

I don't wanna do it if it's gonna take BOTH slots of my server AND THEN SOME.

Just curious...

Cheers for now

The Peercast server would take up one slot and the stream (video, audio, w/e) would then get listed at yp.peercast.org which isn't quite as popular (yet) as Live365.com.
I've currently two video streams running through Peercast: they're listed in the TV-section of Peercast's YP.
BTW if you're planning on relaying a Shoutcast NSV-stream with Peercast then Giles (Peercast's developer) recommends this version. It's a test version (mentioned here) which supports Theora streaming but also fixes the problem of Peercast displaying a Shoutcast relayed NSV-stream as a MP3-stream.

Oh snap akshaye, I was wondering why it was showing as MP3 and now this problem is going to be fixed.

Peercast has a future after all!

Hi everyone:

Boy...I thought configuring a SHOUTcast server was tough, but that is NOTHING compared to configuring a Peercast relay. Aren't there simpler P2P clients out there (preferably one that isn't script based)?

Cheers for now
