sc_serv and sc_trans question

[paok1926]

hello all,

i'm trying to setup a shoutcast v2 server. i want to stream from home a 256 aac+ stream and using sc_trans let my users select the appropriate encoding/bitrate.

in sc_serv.sc i have:

streamid_1=1
streampath_1=/aac-256.aac
streamid_2=2
streampath_2=/aac-128.aac
streamid_3=3
streampath_3=/mp3-256.pls
streamid_4=4
streampath_4=/listen.pls

in sc_trans.cfg i have:

encoder_1=aacp
bitrate_1=256000
encoder_2=aacp
bitrate_3=128000
encoder_3=mp3
bitrate_3=256000
encoder_4=mp3
bitrate_4=128000

outprotocol_1=3
serverip_1=127.0.0.1
serverport_1=30010
password_1=pass
streamid_1=1

of course, there is only one stream... what am i doing wrong ?

you're missing the server configuration for encoders 2,3 and 4 in the Transcoder config i.e.

outprotocol_2=3
serverip_2=127.0.0.1
serverport_2=30010
password_2=pass2

outprotocol_3=3
serverip_3=127.0.0.1
serverport_3=30010
password_3=pass3

outprotocol_4=3
serverip_4=127.0.0.1
serverport_4=30010
password_4=pass4

without them, the Transcoder isn't able to send the streams to the DNAS.

though i'm not sure if you've mixed up the idea of how it's meant to work.

the Transcoder will take an input and then depending on how it's been configured generate as many output streams as requested. these then need to be directed to the DNAS or DNAS's by the stream configuration options (as in my bit above) and then clients will be able to choose from there.

from your wording, it sounds like you're expecting the Transcoder to auto-switch or something else like that which won't happen as the flow of data is Transcoder -> DNAS -> clients.

dnas seems to work for a few seconds, and all streams are dissapeared...

Based on your posting of your Transcoder configuration it seems that you've not supplied the Transcoder with any actual media to transcode and send to the DNAS. Your playlist configuration option is commented out and you don't have a soundcard input setup. Are you trying to setup for DJ connections and that is your sole media for the Transcoder to send?

It seems everything would be ok if you had some kind of local media for the Transcoder to send while it's waiting for a DJ to connect.

[EDIT /]
Just noticed the last part of your log. What are you using to DJ?

i only want one dj connection
i'm using edcast standalone.

i've had to delete your authhash as you've posted it publically so is now deemed as compromised. you'll need to delete it from your config file and then re-create one.

also if you're wanting 4 streams publically, you'd need to duplicate the streamauthash_x=new authhash line for all of the stream configurations once you've created the new one for stream #1 (replacing x with 2,3 and 4).

Used to be that transcoder would not run at all without a playlist - has this changed?

[DrO]

it should be sitting and spinning until it gets a DJ input if there's no active playlist event / no master playlist specified.

the log message posted looks like it's a mash-up of DNAS and Transcoder output which doesn't make it as easy to follow as it could be.

also it could be the calendar event for the DJ connection hasn't fired / been set to just happen at anytime (another thing which could lead to the Transcoder -> DNAS connection throwing the no data timeout messages).

Here, try these configuration files (you'll have to update the passwords/authhashes/unlock codes.) I've included the config_builder backup that was generated when I made these. All files attached inside a zip archive.
