Shoutcast streaming

[acid2]

Hi,

I've seen this topic come up a few times, but there hasn't been any answers, which is a shame. I have a shoutcast server at 87.117.193.144:9194/. I want to stream a wav file in VLC, to this server Here's my sout:

:sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:std{access=shout{mp3},dst=source:passwordhere@87.117.193.144:9194/,mux=ogg}

I've used the same, but with a different server (icecast) - and that's worked fine. But with the shoutcast server, it doesn't work - here's the message output:

Code: Select all

Shoutcast uses a different protocol than Icecast. Could you test and see if the following works with a nightly/development build (which should have protocol selection, icy for shoutcast servers and http for icecast which is default).

:sout=#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:std{access=shout{mp3=1,protocol=icy},mux=mpeg1,dst=source:password@server:port/stream.mp3}

This now works for me streaming mp3 to a shoutcast server.

Grabbed a nightly off nightlies.videolan.org and tried again, here's my output:

Code: Select all

access_output_shout error: failed to open shout stream to 87.117.193.144:9194/: Socket error stream_out_standard error: no suitable sout access module for `shout{mp3=1,protocol=icy}/mpeg1://source:zomgpassword@87.117.193.144:9194/' stream_out_transcode error: cannot create chain main error: stream chain failed for `transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2}:std{access=shout{mp3=1,protocol=icy},mux=mpeg1,dst=source:lolpasswordrly@87.117.193.144:9194/}' main error: cannot start stream output instance, aborting

Any ideas? I tried using / and /stream.mp3 - but they both give the same. Does shoutcast have some concept of mountpoints?

[Trax]

The latest development version automatically tries shoutcast (protocol) if icecast fails (there is only support for streaming MP3 to shoutcast). Nightly builds as of 20060817 should have this option. The socket error in this case was caused by a mismatch in the protocol.

I'm trying to do the same thing as acid2, but couldn't stream to my shoutcast server either.
Did anybody ever accomplish that task?
