some questions to icecast

Hi. I just gut an icecast server. I have some questions. Is there a sourcfe cliend which is good for blind people? And how can i create mountpoints? Greatings kame

I'm using RadioCaster by DJSoft.net as streaming client. Some buttons are not labeled, but most of the UI is fairly accessible. As a free solution you could try to find the no longer developed Edcast/Edcast reborn, which however isn't available officially.

Icecast mountpoints usually are created directly by the streaming client.

thanks, i will try that

I've found another fork of edcast called Altacast, but haven't tried it.
http://www.altacast.com/index.php/downloads/

this is either not made for iecast or just strange coded, I can't even enter my ip, just metadata like apnd string what evver that is.

@Karmien Moundpoints:
You creating moundpoints when you starting broadcasting.
After start broadcast on list exist actual mountpoint.

blablabla. If you want to create te mount point you must define it in icecast2.xml or wherever you have config.

No, you only need to do this if you want special settings for a mountpoint, e.g. a different source password, restricted listener access or fallback settings. If the mountpoint should use global icecast settings you simply can automatically create it using your broadcasting client.

yes. Unfortunately, i still didn't find any source cliend. Altacast don't allowes me to enter an ip or serverhost, which is pritty bad after all and the rest is either not for windows or not free.

i kind a got stuck when trying to set it up, let alone how to get broadcasting stuff to work and how you do that

i now use altacast. It work now for me. I used it fortts cinema.

What you want do with client? What's client type? Broadcasting application's not clients.

Thanks for the help. Altacast works great and fixes all the problems I had while using Edcast

So... New question. I've been using Altacast for about a day and it's doing weird things with the MP3 Encoder. There's a slight crackling noise in the background and I can't seem to get rid of it. I've tried everything, including re-installing the program, deleting the lame encoder and getting a new .dll file, and so on. The same problem was present when using edcast, which was the entire reason I had to switch.

Try to use radiocaster, it's good enough. My radio setup consists of radiocaster, radioboss and sometimes raduga if I need really simple playback.

OK, I'll check it out

Hi. I am in the process of getting radiocaster on my computer. It looks like it's paid software. Is there a place where I can get it for free, or is it always paid?

Always paid.

Oh OK. Do you know any ways to get it all done for free?

Everything could be free if you find cracked version. So... I think it don't need no further explanation.
