need help with config file

[yoyomeltz]

hello,
i am a windows user and i have setup sc on my machine.
the only way i can get it to play files from the content directory is to run sc without a .ini file. then is uses defaults and all is fine except...
that use .ini files to config sc.

i think it has something to do with the ContentDir item in the .ini file.
the default setting is
./content
i have tried
.\content
content\
X:\Ripz\1-9\38 Special\

any ideas,
thanks
dave

Just leave the line commencted out if you use the default ContentDir

i already tried that idea.
i get errors like

<03/16/02@15:51:13> [source] invalid password from GET /content/a.pls HTTP/1.1 changeme 127.0.0.1

or
<03/16/02@15:52:16> [dest: 127.0.0.1] Invalid resource request(/content/a.pls)

the web page states "Invalid resource"

thanks for your help so far.

Do you have a.mp3 in the content dirrectory?

[yoyomeltz]

yes, i have a a.mp3 file and i can play it when i do not use a .ini file and rely on the .exe defaults values.

thanks again,
dave

Once again, read this: TSGH > On Demand Audio CAREFULLY

First:

First make sure you uncomment the "ContentDir=" line by removing the semicolon (. Make sure the path does end with a slash (backslash or forward slash, depending on what you prefer to use). The comment out default of "ContentDir=./content" will NOT work if you uncomment it. The proper from is "ContentDir=./content/" with the ending slash. Then change the path accordingly to point to the location of your MP3 files. Note that the URL does not change, "C:\Media\Mp3\" is now considered the content directory.

and more importantly:

NOTE: There is an error in the shortcut to the Shoutcast DNAS (GUI and console) that the Shoutcast Installer puts in your Start Menu. In the Start Menu go to Programs > SHOUTcast DNAS > right click on "SHOUTcast DNAS (GUI)" and select properties. Under the "shortcut" tab you need to change the contents of the "Start in:" box to the directory location of the Shoutcast DNAS ("C:\Program Files\SHOUTcast\" by default, with quotes). Hit "OK" when you are done.

thanks,
it seems to be working now.

do you know of any good scripts that can create webpages of mps links to play like a jukebox or something.

thanks much,
dave
