DNAS 2 shut down

[jerboa-dumont]

Hello,

I use Shoutcast time to time. I had a webradio in 2005 but it is over. But i like this way for webradio.
I have problem with the DNAS 2. When i open Shoutcast in Winamp, it seems normal.
When i open the DNAS, it is not the same, it askes to chose 0 1 2 3 or 4.
Whatever i chose, it close down the DNAS. No data is sending.
I lost my time all the night to try to uninstall this, open ports of router etc... réinstall. It changes nothing.

What to do ?
Why this DNAS is more complicated than the other one ?

The new v2 DNAS is supposed to be more complicated to facilitate the new functionality to meet the demands of the modern and sophisticated broadcaster. Don't complain, it's free.

1. Create new configurations with the config_builder that comes with the installer.
2. Attempt to run the DNAS. If it doesn't work as expected please post your logs and configurations so that we can find out what's wrong.

It is complicated for me. I'm dumb and i'm not a programmer.

I don't understand the config thing. I reset it. I get this :

streamid=1

The file is named my_sc_serv.conf and is in the same folder as DNAS.

now it has 5 choices. i tried them all, but nothing work.
It closes.
I get this:

2012-01-12 00:48:10 I msg:[MAIN] Runner shutdown
2012-01-12 00:48:10 I msg:<***> Logger shutdown

I get into the router. The 8000 to 8010 is open in TCP for the radio. I found nothing else who shares the same ports. So I don't understand this bug too.


The shoucast thing is set on "localhost".
Winamp/Shoutcast gets the music from the soundcard.
Connecting, disconnect, reconnecting etc… not sending anything.

( nullsoft shoutcast v 2.2.3 )

no config file is being passed which is a requirement of using the current build of the DNAS (either by specifying it on the command-line or by drag+dropping the file onto sc_serv.exe). this is all covered in the documentation -> http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/SHOUTcas...in_the_Console

Why this DNAS is more complicated than the other one ?

It is complicated for me. I'm dumb and i'm not a programmer.

it only seems more complicated as we've naively assumed the level of computer skills which people trying to use the DNAS have and is something that will be improved with the next release (no eta) as manually specifying the config file seems to be alien to most Windows users (as we tried to make the DNAS more consistent in behaviour over all OS versions).

The 8000 to 8010 is open in TCP for the radio.

only port 8000 (or what has been set for portbase) and if you want to allow remote (non-network) v1 based source connections then port 8001 (or portbase+1) needs to be open. opening the additional 8002-8010 ports is not needed.

I get this:

2012-01-12 00:48:10 I msg:[MAIN] Logger updating log file to use
2012-01-12 00:48:10 I msg:[MAIN] Loaded config from my_sc_serv.conf

2012-01-12 00:48:10 I msg:[MAIN] Runner shutdown
2012-01-12 00:48:10 I msg:<***> Logger shutdown

the log clearly shows why it is not able to run as something is already running on port 8000 e.g. could be another DNAS instance or some other program. if not, change portbase to something else in the config file and then edit the port forwarding rules as applicable.

Hello

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, programming is not a natural thing for windows users. They just want the simplier thing, easy to learn, ready to use.

Finaly i manage to broadcast. My conf file was messed up by bad copy paste. And I don't know what was the 8000 port problem, but i use the 50.

As a side question, i saw that Absolute radio has a streaming in FLAC ( inside ogg )

http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/listen/

I don't know how they manage to do that. Do you think it can be done with Winamp-Shoutcast too ?

[DrO]

SHOUTcast only supports MP3 and AAC+ streams. from a quick look, they appear to be using something else (though at the time of checking their OGG FLAC stream is down (though it could be anything from an Icecast server to some other content delivery system they might be using).
