Hi John,
I've not done much in internet broadcasting but did a little with shoutcast.
If you are looking for a large number of listeners, have you looked at third
party streaming hosts like:
http://www.listen2myradio.com/
As far as I know, when you host your own streaming server, the number of
listeners is restricted to things like server hardware, isp host etc. When I
dabbled on my 4gb ram pc with adsl isp host of 256kps up stream, I only got
5/6 concurrent listeners at 128bit streams before it started buffering.
So by making use of a third party streaming host, you only have to maintain
the stream to the host, while your listeners get their streams from the
host.
hth, John

Subject: Re: PHP and Shoutcast
Hi Humberto,
I am wanting seriously to do a internet radio broadcast and was wondering
if shoutcast was the way to go. I don't want to just broadcast to a few
folks, but to mmany many. I am truly a greenhorn concerning all of this
stuff. I have a MacBook Pro that I am just learning and I am running a
Kruzweil K2600 keyboard through an Allen - Heath Zed 12FX mixer that I
just got today. I have a lot to learn and I was also wondering if you
would point me to some simple but good tutorials or podcasts on this
subject?
Thanks much,
Blessings,
John

Hello all,
I have installed Shoutcast 2 in my VPS and have figured out how to obtain
stats and more, but although I am able to easy start, stop and restart
the
server in the background from the command line or with a shell script, I
have not been able to do it from a PHP script from the browser, for easy
management. The shell_exec() function does not do it, for some reason
uncomprehended by me.
I have searched extensively in Google and Winamp without success. Any
ideas
of how to do it, or where to find the answer?
TIA,
Humberto
