Shoutcast Server
Oct 12, 2008Me and a few friends of mine are planing on creating a Shoutcast online radio station and honestly I'm new to how Shoutcast servers work and witch host would be best for me and my friends. I have a few questions on all this.
Am I suck using Winamp to play our music over the server? Or are there other more professional tools to use?
This server will be used among a few friends of mine. So if no one us broadcasting will the server play a song play list till some one starts broadcasting?
Shoutcast servers only Stream music to Winamp players only?
Anyone here got any experience with “rackedhosting.com” Shoutcast service?
My Server And Shoutcast
Sep 13, 2008i upgraded my server a few month back to a better one.
SINGLE XEON QUAD CORE 3210 / 1066FSB / 8MB CACHE
4GB DDR2
x2 500GB SATA 7200RPM (RAID-1)
50 Mbps Burst Speed
for what ever reason when i try to tune in to my radio it takes more than 10 seconds for the radio to start playing (specially on my port 8000). while other stations (competition) start right away.
my question is does it matter if i have my dns like this: [url]:8000 instead of [url]:8000 or do i have to look for something else not well configure?

Shoutcast Self Managed Server
Jun 22, 2007I am considering purchasing a self managed server for my shoutcast station. I have extensive pc and windows knowledge, however setting up a web server for my shoutcast station is new to me. I have set up & configured the shoutcast dnas for Windows before.
I am starting off with a clean no OS server.
1. use linux or Windows?
2. if it's linux which version? Centos, fedora..
3. What software will I need to monitor what is going on.
4. Secuity..
5. control panels.. what to use and will I actually need SCpanel?
I am not going to be reselling.. this server will be for me exclusively.. I will only be using this server for broadcasting via shoutcast.
Now, Please don't flame me.. these are rediculous questions for some. I happen to learn very quickly and could learn what I need within days. I learned computers this way, I was tired of paying techs to service my pc's. Now i do it all myself..

How Many Shoutcast Slots Can 1 Server Support
Jun 21, 2008I am getting a 100Mbit unmetered dedicated server,
Is there any formula to calculate how many slots (listeners)
at 128k can this server support?
Since this server is unmetered, I can use how much bandwidth I want, but since its shared,
I was inform that I should expect 15-30Mbit/s transfer speeds and 5TB-9TB monthly data transfer.
Also, if possible I would like to get some help to understand how this all thing with IPs work on the hosting software.
The server comes install with CPanel and I am thinking about using Cast-Control or Centova,
Where I am complete lost is the domain I give to each client account.
Can I make a different IP for each client, or not?
More Important For Shoutcast Server? Bandwidth Or Port Speed?
Jun 28, 2008I wonder whatLs more important on a shoutcast server, to get more bandwidth per month as possible, or a faster port connection?
I have test a 2 hours music stream at 128k bit rate and was only 5MB per listener !
This is not to host 24/7 radios. Its a project to host DJs /Live Bands at
a maximum of 128k, with no more than 2 hours events.
Also each event between 50-80 listeners, and not at same days or hours.
About the port connection, what this means? :
Port: 10/100MBPS SWITCHED VLAN
Is it shared and from 10 to 100mbps?
I am trying to find the best deal with dedi servers.
Have at this moment a unlimited bandwidth /100Mbps shared, but it seems the CPU is too low (AMD Sempron 3100), as I canLt seem to create more than 40 shoutcast accounts (and no client is streaming, just ON), and the server load goes up to 4.5 !!
So, I am looking on the market , as I saw better deals with better processors (Pentium4, Core 2 Duo), and much cheaper (below $100), but they only offer 2000/3000GB bandwidth.
Whats do you think?

May 22, 2009I bought a VPS a few days ago and I'm trying to run a SHOUTcast on it.
The VPS is Linux, CentOs to be more specific.
I've installed Shoutcast and it's running, It's working with WinAmp as the website I'm running it on tells me what song is currently playing, how many listeners there are, etc.
It also says:
Server Status: Server is currently up and public.

Feb 7, 2007I have a windows server 2003 running shoutcast.
I have two questions:
1.) Is there a way to send signals via Windows? I need a way to have shoutcast reload it's configuration file without kicking the users. Normally, on *nix, you could just send the kill -s SIGHUP command and it'd do it. But I can't figure out a way to do this on windows.
If this isn't possible, does anyone know if you can run shoutcast RELIABLY under cygwin?
2.) The LogFormat that shoutcast outputs looks like this:
Code:
c-ip c-dns date time cs-uri-stem c-status cs(User-Agent) sc-bytes x-duration avgbandwidth
the problem is that cs-uri-stem doesn't include cs-method ("GET") so AWStats fails with the import of the log. Is there a way to manually add this into the way AWStats parses it?
If not, is there a special way to parse shoutcast w3c logs in AWStats?

Jul 30, 2007weve had a box at fdc for over a year. everything was fine until about half that time ago and consistently has gotten worse over time. We've always been really good at tracking down problems til now.
traceroute and ping results are usually pretty normal, the machine is not overloaded however our server can barely handle any amount of listeners anymore, in fact it appears as tho the number of listeners has no effect on the server skipping and buffering every few minutes.
we've changed the sources its been fed from
checked the connection from multiple locations
ping and trace results are always decent or shouldnt warrant skipping with any number listeners. in a year weve gone from consistently hosting 100+ to barely getting over 20 and often less lately. its a huge bummer.
Shoutcast Alternatives
Feb 5, 2009Any one know of a better auto streaming program as I keep having trouble with my shoutcast server.
It constantly needs rebooted and has issues where people have trouble connecting.
SHOUTcast Companies
Apr 20, 2009First one i tried was Implux.net and after a year or so started getting a lot of skipping/buffering problems with the streams.
I'm now with Serverroom.us but cannot stand the software they use CentovaCast or at least don't like the setup they use.

Jun 22, 2008I've only tried whmsonic shoutcast admin pro to create sc accounts
I used whm to create cpanel hosting accounts before so had an idea.
With whmsonic admin pro i was a bit lost, creating cpanel hosting
accounts so i could ad those features to shoutcst accounts
But from what i've read, cast control is more straight to the point
You don't need to be creatings cpanel accounts first etc etc.
Is there others that any of you have on your servers for setting
up shoutcast accounts with hosting for uploading audio files ect
Autodj and so on.

Jun 9, 2008i'm still not too sure how to put all this together,
And im starting to feel stressed out
I think i need a dedicated server with cpanel/whm installed on it
before i can install whmsonic and start selling radio streams with hosting right?
How much is this gonna set me back if i want to create a lot of accounts on one sever,
I am aware that you should only put so many accounts on one server.
I want to be able to offer the extras to the users so if they
are not using their account for live shows they can use the auto
dj features plus they'd have their web space for uploading audio.
And all the good stuff that comes with those features.
An example of what i'd like to offer is on sleepy engineers.
I just don't know if i have to get all this seperate and put it
on a dedicated server mysellf or if there's servers ready with
all this installed and ready to use.
And i don't have a lot of cash to start out
Im thinking 100$ per month to start with.
I like cast control's features, but i've only used whm/cpanel before, for setting up web hosting accounts.
Most reseller packages put me off it's never really my own service.
