Only Problem is I do not have access to the wiki. Anyone else have the docs that they can post?

Ok.. quick how-to.. modified from wiki version to use supervise/runit.

  927  mkdir -p /opt/shoutcast
  928  cd /opt/shoutcast
  929  wget http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc1-9-7/shoutcast-1-9-7-linux-glibc6.tar.gz
  930  tar -zxvf shoutcast-1-9-7-linux-glibc6.tar.gz

  936  cd log
  937  pico -w run
  938  touch /var/service/shoutcast/down
  939  mkdir -p /var/log/shoutcast
  940  config set shoutcast service access public status enabled TCPPort 8000
  941  config set shoutcast1 service access public status enabled TCPPort 8001

William, Thank you for taking the time to post this. I will work on it today and see what happens.

William,

I tried this and it worked correctly the first time. Only thing left is to have some advise on what ports should be used. Any suggestions?

8000 has been suggested as a security issue.

Glad it worked.

I think there is a small error in the original wiki howto which may affect starting the server.

Code: [Select]

#

Open up the two ports you will need by entering these two lines into the command prompt. WARNING: Watch the capitalization on these commands!

    [yourserver]# config set shoutcast1 service access public status enabled TCPPort 8000
    [yourserver]# config set shoutcast2 service access public status enabled TCPPort 8001



Code: [Select]

#

Now add a symbolic link to the shoutcast service.

    [yourserver]# ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/shoutcast S92shoutcast



As for port 8000 being a risk. I don't think you can say a 'port' is a risk, it all depends on whats sitting behind it waiting to respond to connections.

Can you give some links to these security risks you mention?

Shoutcast stopped working after the updates were added. Does anyone have a how to for SME as of August 9th 2007?

Thanks
Carl

Hey Carl,

  You must have a lot of extra bandwidth.

  I gave it a little thought and I wonder if it's still running at all:

ps -ef |grep -i shout

  Also try checking in /var/log/shoutcast

  I have never used this before, but I have some friends who do Internet Radio (w3w3.com) and I'm curious if this would have any application for them.

Carl,

Got your email. I will reply here to keep the ball in play.

The changes below relate to this post >> http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34392.msg148146#msg148146

I stopped using Shoutcast soon after my last post so I'm a bit hazy.

The following looks like a workaround which may be incorrect and not relevent anymore.

Code: [Select]

[yourserver]# config set shoutcast service access public status enabled TCPPort 8000
[yourserver]# config set shoutcast1 service access public status enabled TCPPort 8001

I think you can replace that with one line (Bug 56?)

Code: [Select]

[yourserver]# config set shoutcast service access public status enabled TCPPorts 8000:8001

The other thing is SME swallows multicast packets. I don't know if this is relevant but you can stop this behavior. Search for multicast. The procedure involves creating a blank template using 'touch'. >>> http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=34392.msg148146#msg148146

Thats about all I can offer.

William,

Thanks for the info. Robert and I have also seen this and we were wondering if you were still into Shoutcast. If you are using something else please let us know. Shoutcast seems to have a few issues. I need something that will send a live broadcast from a FM radio station to one web site so people can listen to as well as on the FM radio. Something simple.

William,

Long time no talk to - sorry.

This no longer works - would you have any idea as to what changed? I can't figure this out.
