How to re-stream audio from SHOUTcast/Icecast

Ok - now this works all good and well i have a couple of questions as to how I can expand on this.

Currently I use the alias map system for all our flash streams which essentially does the same thing as the radiostation.stream file.

Can I use this method for live streams to Droid and iPhone ect providing I always start the stream using the streammanager on boot into the correct shoutcast method?

Hello Charlie,

In the tutorial above on page 1 it mentions:

Click the [start-receiving-stream] link just below the rtplive application folder.

My question is should the application that I started in stream manager be rtplive or shoutcast? I have it working with by clicking [start-receiving-stream] below shoutcast started in stream manager. However, I can’t get it to work starting the rtplive. If I do need to click [start-receiving-stream] rtplive in stream manager can you explain why?

Thanks,

Derrick

Thanks Richard

Hi all, i was following tutorial but for some reason I can not ger Soutcast to be “visible”. Any help?

I tried both Flash way and other players way. Lets assume the other players as i guess it is always on type of solution so: I created content file radiostation.stream with following content http://cheese.wavestreamer.com:3639 then I go to StreamManager and create new strem radiostation.stream with stream type shoutcast.

Thne i use VLC to open network stream: rtsp://myserver.com:1935/soutcas/radiostation.stream and im getting error saying can not play file not sound. Logs show connection open session cteted session unpublished and destroyed.

Any ideas what I have done wrong and how can i fix that? Thank you!

tnx for reply

I tried using http://216.59.4.130:8024 in radiostation.stream an reseting the stream in web interface but it did not help me :frowning: i still can not hear my stream via VLC :frowning:

I will post my configs and logs here

ups:)

“Make sure the Application.xml StreamType is “shoutcast”, a”

My strem type is Live :slight_smile:

let me fix tha and try both regular and flash methods

ok tnx a lot!

now it works in both flash and VLC :slight_smile:

1 question: what does seting stream in web interface does? I did what u said but I did not set the stream ether and it works. :slight_smile:

geting complex now :slight_smile:

I’d rater leave it as is while it working :slight_smile: I test it with iPhone 4G and it work there too with stream type: shoutchast :slight_smile:

but when i set stream to Live everything stops working all together :slight_smile:

I will try again maybe it will start working :slight_smile:

i did it yesterday and it even told me that stream is running (only thing that caught my attention os that it said flv:radiostation.strem) but otherwise i did all the tutorial parts

Hi Charlie,

In this tread has a different instruction than in the QuickStart Guide, more specific in the “AllPlayer Technologies”, point 7.

http://wowza.com/quickstart.html#live-shoutcast

What are the correct instruction?

Thanks in advance.

Ale

Richard,

Thanks for the update but I’m reference to this line:

Quickstart:

  • Select the MediaCaster Type: shoutcast

This Tread:

  • Select the MediaCaster Type: rtp

What is the correct Stream Type? that I need use for stream to all the protocols?

Thanks

Ale

Hi Extreme,

This error normally have relation with Incorrect file format or Stream.

Can you show the content of your mp3demo2.stream? you are doing relay from a Shoutcast server?

Regards,

Ale

Charlie,

Has the issue with Nokia (is it all symbian phones?) playing an RTSP stream been resolved yet?

Tim.

Hi all,

Someone know if it’s work now with the Wowza Media Server 2. I have tried with a Nokia N77 and N82, and i can’t see the rstp stream.

Thank’s in advance!

Hi Charly,

Thank’s, I will try your patch. I will give you a feedback.

I can play the stream with VLC.

Unfortunately, the patch didn’t resolve the problem. I have the same error with both Nokia. I have tried different low profile.

Another thing, i can’t see anymore the streams with Silverlight. Can this problem come from the patch?

I’m doing Silverlight Live. I have updated the player but it doesn’t work.

Hi,

In streams properties:

3 .Set the Streams/StreamType property to: live

Should it be “live” or “shoutcast” (this being a shoutcast-restreaming application?

Also, is it possible to use inside Pull-from-shoutcast -> restream to iphone application the aliases module?

Thanks a lot,

Alex
