Don't worry about the "Server is Down". It always says that unless you have an active source connected.
The only thing I can think of to suggest is that you go back through the sc_serv file and make sure you have a password set (it is case sensitive) and make sure that you use the password with the shoutcast plugin.
Sorry I can't help more... but from what you're saying it sounds as if everything should work.

I was having the same problem was you. (here)
But i have a couple questions.
Currently while using 'lame' i have the sample rate at 44100Hz but if i raise it to 48000Hz the stream goes fine to the remote user but locally its sounds funny and 'cartoonish" as if the pitch was way higher.
a) does this happen to you too ?
Another question is about the encoder.
We can use 'lame' or 'mp3enc' which is registred.
b) what encoder from /usr/bin/ do we need to use for that ?

Does anyone know how to 'force' an update of the playlist? I have users who ftp into a directory and deposit their tracks. I then run the following cron job every 15 minutes to update the playlist, but Shoutcast is not playing the new tracks:
| Code: | | find /home/tford/internet.radio/ -type f -name "*.mp3" > /var/www/shoutcast/playlists/playlist_01.lst |
Any ideas? |

To reload list:
| Code: | | $ echo killall sc_trans_linux -USR1 > reload-script |
To jump song:
| Code: | | $ echo killall sc_trans_linux -WINCH > jump-script |
To Toggle shuffle:
| Code: | | $ echo killall sc_trans_linux -USR2 > shuffle-script |
To flush Logs:
| Code: | | $ echo killall sc_trans_linux -HUP > flush-script |
Then make these "scripts" executable
| Code: | | $ chmod +x reload-script jump-script shuffle-script flush-script |
To update the list with the added files:
note: if the box runs more than one shoutcast client you will need to specify the shoutcast client pid for these simple scripts.

| Thanks for this HeXiLeD, but I have run these commands and the tunes are not changing. Is there something else I ought to be looking out for? |

Nop.
this is how you reload the playlist:
| Code: | | $ killall sc_trans_linux -USR1 |
. (must be in the same directory as the list)
what do you have in
; PlaylistFile (required EVEN IF RELAYING) - playlist file (to create, use
; find /path/to/mp3/directory -type f -name "*.mp3" > playlist_filename.lst
PlaylistFile= <--- here
and what do you do to start streaming?
and by force the update of the list what are you exactly looking to do?

The way it is supposed to work is that a select number of people ftp their music into the relevant directory, every few minutes a cron job will run which will copy the newly added files into the play list. I want the updated play list to become available and for Shoutcast to immediately start to stream the new titles.
This now works OK and as such it would appear that I have a fully automated radio station. The only strange thing is that as I watch the logs scrolling to administer Shoutcast, I notice that an awful lot of nodes connect and disconnect very soon afterwards; sometimes immediately.
Is this normal? |
