FAQ -- ADVANCED TOPICS

O1.  Where do I get the IP address I need to use?

Answer:  Nullsoft/AOL don't presently provide free bandwidth or servers to broadcast

from.  You need to talk to your ISP or someone with a big fat internet connection

and convince them to run the server for you so you can broadcast from it.

O2.  Who is my system administrator?

Answer:  The system administrator is the person responsible for computers on your

network.  If you aren't on a network, then you are your own system administrator.

SHOUTcast broadcasting can be a fairly complex process, so bring someone along

who's familiar with things like IP networking if you feel less than comfortable

with computers.

D1.  How do I use the on-demand content features of the DNAS?

Answer:  The DNAS installs with a folder called content/.  Place any MP3 files

inside this directory, and they're ready to be streamed on-demand.  The server

will even automatically generate a playlist for any individual item of content

so you can have browsers automatically pass the content off to a player without

having to make playlists yourself.

example:

your server has a file called song.mp3 in the content/ folder.  Your SHOUTcast

DNAS is running on port 8000 at my.host.com.

Your HTML page should have the following code:

You can listen to my song here

NOTE:  The file song.pls DOES NOT EXIST in your content directory!  If a file

with the same name exists with the .mp3 extension, the DNAS will automatically

generate the .pls file.

NOTE:  Subdirectories DO NOT work for the content section, to help prevent

malicious users from tramping around your filesystem.

D2.  Why does the SHOUTcast directory think I'm at a different IP than

     I really am?

Answer:  The SHOUTcast directory used to run on the honor system.  That was,

it took you at your word on what IP you were broadcasting at.  Since about

twenty billion people abused that to send people to porn sites, now the

directory forces the listed IP to the same IP that sends it the info.

Since many ISPs now use content caching on port 80 (the same port that

directory data comes from), a different IP address can sometimes appear

in the directory.  There isn't any solution for this at the moment,

save having your ISP disable forced proxying of your address.

D3.  I'm behind a firewall/proxy.  Can I still use the DNAS to broadcast?

Answer:  Tricky question.  Users behind proxies cannot.  Users behind NAT

devices can, *provided* the same port the SHOUTcast server runs on is

set up to forward from the NAT device to the SHOUTcast server.  Users

behind firewalls can also get a hole punched so listeners can penetrate.

If broadcasters also need to get in from the outside world, you should

open the hole for PortBase + 1 (i.e. id SHOUTcast runs on 8000, 8001

should be open for broadcasters to get through as well.)

=====SOURCE PLUG-IN

S1.  How do I use advanced mode?

Answer:  Read the README that comes with the plug-in.  It explains

how to make things like crossfading, cd-audio, and voiceovers work.

Also, there's a ScreenCam guide which will show exactly what to do

here.
