VLC .9.9 - 1.1.0 Stream to ShoutcastDNAS2 does not work.

[kdh]

I was doing some testing with the new Shoutcast2 DNAS and discovered that streaming from VLC to shoutcast2 does not work.

Here is what I get in my shoutcast2 logs:

2010-06-30 19:56:30 E msg:[src 74.208.167.104:44885 sid=1] [src 74.208.167.104:44885 sid=1] connection rejected. Bad icy header string [icy-irc:]
2010-06-30 19:56:30 E msg:[src 74.208.167.104:44885 sid=1] connection rejected. Bad icy header string [icy-irc:]
2010-06-30 19:56:32 I msg:[src 74.208.167.104:44886 sid=1] Shoutcast source connection.

I took a look at the latest /vlc-1.1.0/modules/access_output/shout.c file to see if it was updated and it has not.

Looking at the source code of shout.c it does not show a defined string for "IRC".

It appears it only accepts these options.

Code: Select all

static const char *const ppsz_sout_options[] = { "name", "description", "mp3", "genre", "url", "bitrate", "samplerate", "channels", "quality", "public", NULL };

Here is the VLC command I am using. This works fine with the 1.X version of Shoutcast DNAS.

Code: Select all

vlc -vvv ./my.mp3 --no-sout-video --sout '#transcode{acodec=mpga, ab=128, channels=2, samplerate=44100, aenc=ffmpeg}:std{access=shout{mp3=1, bitrate=128, samplerate=44100, channels=2, name='EverydayJunglist.org', genre='dnb'}, mux=raw, dst=admin:tranceisgay@mywebsite.com:9999//}'

Here is the tail end of my VLC log:

Code: Select all

I would update the code, but 1. I do not know C. 2. If I did, I am running Centos and they refuse to update certain libs that make compiling VLC1.X even possible. Can we some how get this on the to-do list?
