Solution (instruction only):

Good guide Vikrus!

 

My only concern is, what are the limitations on the free streaming package? As there is usually a listener and bitrate limit with ShoutCast depending up on what stream package you go for what are the limits on this free method? Also 30-100sec delay that is very high! Is there no way to reduce it? :)

 

Great guide nonetheless buddy! ^^

Free package for 30 listeners. :)

For private room and some friends the OK...

Delay 30 sec is present everywhere, even in the paid solutions. This caching Cenova Cast Server time.

By the way, this service is cheap pay packages. Not $ 10 for 150 liseners and 10 GB autoDJ,- just £5 for 20 GB autoDJ/ Unlimited Bandwidth / Unlimited Listeners

I think you can take a free plan, check, and then buy a paid plan. If you want :)

 

Cenova Cast Server panel .. so best and cool :)

Servers in France and... Canada.... I do not remember...

My server in France :)

A lot of streaming server hosting use Centova cast for there user interface. 

 

The product on http://www.centova.com/ is what hosting company get and install on there server for there services. 

 

What the OP mean is that he susbcribe to https://shoutca.st/ and with that service, He got access to Centova Cast, which is only a front end to a streaming server like Shoutcast or Icecast

I did somehow S

 

I will not say the reason but maybe a tip how you can fix this :)

Test it again with an original mp3 for example of an Music Store like Beatport or similar and you will see it works :)

 

I did Somehow resolve the problem. I use shoutca.st Auto DJ. It worked wonders so its a problem on my end. 

Not a clue what but results are results.

I had a other member with the same problem and at last we found out it was only with ripped youtube mp3 :)

With Original MP3 (he had not one) was this problem never!

It seems a problem with the used codec of some YouTube rippers!

 

Also should the most know, the using and ripping of YouTube Videos/Songs is in the most Country's Illegal, also is it not the same good quality as Original MP3 :)

DeAngelo, sorry but i have a problem to understand your YT links.

This thread is a manual for streaming, not for ripping instructions :)

 

If you have quality problems, buy the song and it should be history :lol:
