Shoutcast - Bitrate Limiting

[myckeul]

Hi,

First, sorry for my bad english, i'm French.

I would like limit the maximum bitrate of my shoutcast server.

Many users uses this server and i have trying to add the variable :

Bitrate = 128

in the sc_serv.conf file, it's not working.

If bitrate limiting is not supported by the shoutcast server, can i control the maximum bitrate sent by the different users otherwise ?

thank you for your help

This cannot be done within shoutcast and no you cannot control the source bitrate,

This is normally done with serverside scripting,

Shoutcast2 has rumoured this feature but is not available yet.

You'd have to write an application or script that checks the source bitrate and issues a kick/ban if they are overstreaming. So yes, it can be done. Just requires a little coding.

hmmm i understand... so how can i know the source bitrate value with a php script ?

[Jkey]

allow users to stream to "sc_trans 2.0" this allows
you to control the final bitrate by transcoding
the input stream.

i have coded an php script, he kill the source if the bitrate is not correct
