Comments on basic shoutcast set-up page

Sound Selecta · 13th May 2001, 01:40

Hi

I had a lot of people ask me on IRC how to set up shout cast so I decided to build a step by step page on the basic shoutcast setup.

Its not finshed but I'll try to get it done today.
Id like some feed back as to if its easy to follow

URL is http://www.chillsucker.com/shoutcast

Thanks

It looks good. There are a couple typos but a quick run through a spell checker should find those for you. Also under the heading "Winamp and DSP Plugin Set-Up :" you have this line "On the "SHOUT cast source" window click the "Edit" button next to "Server:localhost:800" which will bring up a new window called "SHOUT cast server selection". " the 800 should be an 8000 a typo that might cause some confusion. Other than that it looks good. I would say if you want to make it easier to follow you may want to include some pictures of the windows.

Yah I noticed the typos, just havent had time to fix them.
I do have screen shots of the whole procedure and will add them in.

I just needed someone to look it over to see if I missed any steps that might be helpfull in the install.

Thanks

One thing you may want to add is changing the number of users from 32 to whatever your connection could support when editing the config file for the DNAS.

See the first link on the page, SHOUTcast FAQ. Click that and then "SHOUTcast FAQ". Then buried somewhere is
"Links
L1. Do you know of any sites regarding SHOUTcast?" and a link to your site is provided. I suppose I should also add the links for setup in the "C1. How do I setup this mess?"
I am not sure how many people actually read it though. It is not distributed with SHOUTcast it just sits here in hopes that people will check that out before they post to keep the number of redundant posts down.
