ShoutCast Question

I have ShoutCast, I want to know if there is a way I can add the MP3 files to a web server and play it from there, instead of playing it from my computer?

 

use sc_trans : http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc_trans_posix_040.tgz

 

thanks, will try it!

EDIT: everytime i download it, the file becomes an unkknown file..its it an .exe file? or .conf file?
when i download it, it is a RAR type file, when i extract, all i find inside is an unknown file type

 

it's a .tgz file , inside are 5 files , one for mac os , one for linux , one for freebsb + one conf file and one example playlist

if you don't need shoutcast and want only a radio in php i will sugest you another thing that will work on demand only when listeners will connect to the station ( will emulate the live radio ) also can be used for Shoutcast but the CPU will be a little unusual

 

if interested i can configurate this php streamer on demand for free just to upload it to see how it works, by the way i have some radio tutorials on my blog but only for windows

 

All i see inside the .tgz file is this: screenshot

what is that other radio php?


EDIT: Can someone download the .tgz file, and take the files out, and make another RAR or ZIP file, and upload it to a site like mediafire.com and send me a link.

 

sent php script tutorial , i will send you .rar in few minutes

 

what type of file is the sc_trans_linux file? an .exe?

 

this is the linux install from the shoutcast forum :

" Step 1: Logon to your server
First you need to logon to your server. How I did this is via Putty(SSH-Protocol).

Once you are loged in, goto Step 2

Step 2: Download the source...
send this to the server:

wget "http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc_trans_posix_040.tgz"

You will see it starts downloading the file to your current directory.

Step 3: Extract..
Once it's completed downloading from shoutcast.com, then you will need to extract the archive, you can do this by sending this to the server:

tar -zvxf sc_trans_posix_040.tgz

Once you have extracted.. you will see that a directory called "sc_trans_posix_040" has been made. Type:

cd sc_trans_posix_040

to access it, once you are in the directory, goto Step 4

Step 4: Configure sc_trans.conf
Now we need to configure sc_trans.conf to the way you like it, you see that there are a total of 5 files in the directory:

the ones you need are:
sc_trans_linux
example.lst(can delete after you have configured sc_trans.conf and made it point to another playlist)
sc_trans.conf

You can delete the other ones if you want to. You can configure sc_trans.conf with VI, or just download the SC_TRANS-configuration file, configure it on your computer, and upload it again. If you want to config it with VI, then you need to send this to the server:

vi sc_trans.conf

Once you are done configurating, goto the next step.

Step 5: Running sc_trans
Now we are at the last step; type:

./sc_trans_linux

and it will run the application....."
