What Ever Happened To FST Radio

[Lilmiss]

There was a link to it on the streamer thingy.

Sure you did a grand job though.

get a shoutcast or icecast plugin for wharever you'll use, or what i think i'll end up doing it set the plugin stream to stereo mix as line in.

anyway set the plugin to localhost:8000 and make up a password

now download and install the streamer thing. when you run it click the "->" in the top right and goto BCast, theres you set up the server details (name and that stuff) and put the plugin password in the password field.

now you're ready to host, although i think i had to mess with ports. my mate coulsn't hear me so i was playing with stuff randomly in config and it started working when i clicked "ok" under tcp port.

oh and one more thing. click "save URL" to get to get a hyper link to post on t'web

It'll be sweet to see the FST radio up again.
What we got so far, 3,4 of yous that are up for a session? I might be able to contribute as well. What we are lacking is a decent server and thats in Rookie's hands. Has anyone spoke to admin to get the spin on if he can help or not?
I know that Mr B (rookie) is looking to keep FST going without too much cost so is the radio stream a feasible idea?

I'd love to see the streams back up and running but we gotta see if we can get a decent server that can support the listeners first. Whos gonna ask Brian?

[GepperRankins]

if people can be bothered to download streamer we dont need a decent server

[namzuf9]

Cool If it works well. Then at least those who actually want to listen can without caning server bandwidth. So whats the next step then? Talking to admin/mods and get a sticky somewhere, make sure that when you kick off there are listeners?

[GepperRankins]

yeah, thats the problem with an extra download; less people can be bothered.

the way it works it should run perfect no matter how many people listen unless maybe more than 50% of listeners are on dialup.

the way i've worked it out is that a 48k stream can double for every broadband user with no noticible effect on each users' internet, (unless uploading files maybe)
then we can have an equal number of 56k'ers as broadbanders.


a pinned thread in the lounge would be cool but as far as i know, each host will have to post their own hyperlink for their show.


i'm streaming now btw

[namzuf9]

Dont hear nuthin..

If this gets up and running then the pinned topic could be edited when needed to link to the newest DJ link? Maybe a schedule?
