Shoutcast streaming

AllStarLink
1

Anyone ever install shoutcast onto an Allstar node? I want
to take a specific node on my server and stream.

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

yes… actually there is a whole set of docs/files and some sorta other stuff
that we got working about 2 or 3 years ago…

Unless anyone who dealt with it can remember or knows [someone chime in please…]
I can go try to dig whatever it was up and figure out what it was.

But there is some sort of magic we put into app_rpt and there was some other stuff
to make all that work.

easiest way is to take an old ht or mobile tuned to output of your machine, take earphone output as audio input to an old xp machine running the shoutcast server/winamp combo.

seriously. been running both services for years. don’t overthink it, with all the issues you seem to have with some of your boxes, adding another daemon to configure may be a recipe for issues, Lu.

Well – there is this:

http://ohnosec.org/pipermail/app_rpt-users/2010-June/001094.html

you need a command (exactly) like this one in your rpt.conf

outstreamcmd=/bin/sh,-c,/usr/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8.0 --bitwidth 16 - - | /usr/bin/ezstream -c /etc/ezstream.xml

then there is file /etc/ezstream.xml

where you need to fill in the URL and password of your stream server

Mine uses IceCast not ShoutCast. Where exactly this distinction resides is unknown (by me) but maybe Jim will remember.

I have issued my last grep for the distinctive name that I set with the ‘hostname’ command and throw myself at the mercy of the *nix wizards. The name that I set is not stored in /etc/sysconfig/network, not stored in /etc/hosts, it just exists in the ether apparently.

Now I find out that the hostname used by Allstar is stored in /etc/asterisk/system.conf (IIRC) which remained untouched, of course.

I’ve just got to know now, even though it seems that things are sort of working OK after an initial hiccup.

Thanks.

There was discussion about this in Jan 2010 … (thanks google)

I do not know if it is related to your question, but I want the Host name to show up on my router.

For that to happen, I had to change the host name in:

etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

and re-boot.

Nope. But that is yet another place that his callsign is properly stored as the hostname.

I guess this was Linus’ attempt at making linux more bullet-proof, store the hostname in 2,891,253 places so it can’t get lost.

To change the hostname in ACID.
edit /etc/sysconfig/network
change or add HOSTNAME=

To have it show up in your rounter if your using DCHP:
edit /etc/sysconfig/network-

scripts/ifcfg-eth0
change or add DHCP_HOSTNAME=

Also you should edit /etc/hosts and add you hostname here to faster lookup.

You can also use google to search CentOS Hostname and other things.
