Neod101 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I don't know. Maybe there's some kind of podcast type thing that goes live. On a sidenote: our schools radio station only transmits up to 100 metres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaH Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 1. Get Winamp http://www.winamp.com/player/ 2. Download the Shoutcast plugin Windows: http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/shoutca...9-0-windows.exe Mac OS X, Linux and FreeBSD http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc_trans_posix_040.tgz 3. If your IP changes, Use something like NoIp http://www.no-ip.com/downloads.php Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Anyone used VLC player? Seems to have a whole host of streaming features (both audio and video), and has a lot of complicated networking stuff to boot. Worth having a look at (http://www.videolan.org/streaming/)... Shoutcast might be easyer to setup though. Bare in mind that over the Internet its not gonna be great, most home ADSL/Cable connections just don't have the upload bandwidth. However, if your sharing a network with a bunch of people its great. Works well at partys if you can sync up 2-3 hi-fi's over your house. (always a bit of an arse with shoutcast i found).

metatron Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 VLC player is easy to set up and run. http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/7428/vlc1iz.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 VLC rules, there is nothing that program cannot do. I swear you could run a entire TV station from it. Trying to set it up as a video on demand system with a gui atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
degoba Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I am a vlc user myself. It is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaH Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I've used Vlc in the past, Never used it to broadcast live streams though. I was wondering, does it also let you live DJ like shoutcast does...or can you only stream Video/Audio files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spektormax Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 can peopel not using winamp listen to the podcast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaH Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Yea, Just give them the IP to the stream, and they can use whatever media player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think VLC is more software to push/pull audio/video from anywhere to anywhere. Rather than mixing several streams (audio/music & mic feed i presume) together and streaming the result (it probally can, i just don't know how to). If your mixing the mic and the audio together in hardware or another program, VLC would be a good way of taking that stream and doing anything you want with it. If your not, i suspect there are better solutions out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sykesa Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Shoutcast Server is by far the easiest way to stream yoru station live. You can get it running in less than half an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I third the vote on VLC. It's so sweet, it does everything. They should including an operating system in the next release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mubix Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 It's amazing that no one has mentioned SAM Broadcaster. I know everyone likes free, but it's "basically" free. :twisted: But it is the best software out there if you want to stream and mix in voice and other sounds. WAR Room I believe even mixes in a skype call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 SAM looks good... but $200 dollars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
