Starting an internet radio station - Developers

I am starting an internet radio station, how should I go about streaming to the server, then streaming to the clients? I tried using icecast but I couldn't get it set up right, so I am looking for an easy to way to take my input(for live DJ'ing), and stream it to the server, then the server streaming to clients.

I would just use shoutcast. It's not horrible software, and works decently. Also, if you need a host and you are licensed I would not mind hosting you. PM me if interested.

Nah I have a host already, now my issue is that I have the webpage set up properly but I cannot connect, and my host said that it is probably because I did not set up the iptable firewall correctly, any ideas on how to do that?

Disable your iptable firewall. Unless you're doing massive stuff you don't even need a firewall.

I'm not sure how, could you guys tell me how to do that? This is for a CENT OS VPS by the way.

google

service iptables stop Or /usr/sbin/iptables stop And to prevent it from ever starting again after a reboot: chkconfig iptables off Combino, no reason to be an ass.

Alright I googled it, and disabled the iptables firewall yet I still cannot connect. In /var/www/html/ I have file called index.html with <h1>It Works!</h1> inside it. yet when I put the IP in my browser google chrome says it cannot connect [editline]23rd December 2010[/editline] Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to ip

Try: service apache2 start or: /etc/init.d/apache2 start If neither of those work, try replacing apache with httpd

I don't think I have apache installed >.< [editline]23rd December 2010[/editline] Can I install it with yum?

It's called httpd on CentOS.

[root@rstation ~]# service httpd start httpd: unrecognized service

[QUOTE=c-unit;26900680][root@rstation ~]# service httpd start httpd: unrecognized service[/QUOTE] [CODE]yum search httpd[/CODE] [editline]23rd December 2010[/editline] I run CentOS as well on my servers so I know it's there. [editline]23rd December 2010[/editline] Wait I didn't read the thread. You need to install it with yum, by the looks. [CODE] yum install -y httpd[/CODE]

You can just use yum install httpd normally. Who's your host? [editline]edit[/editline] ninja'd :saddowns:

-snip- I just ran yum install httpd and it's downloading now

[code]yum install httpd.x86_64[/code]

It's working now, thanks a lot guys!

Hint: Licenses for Radio-Streaming are very expensive. Doing it without one? You could be sued by all big music companies for copyright issues - that's some point you should clarify before starting it. Just a tip.

Then he should use that. And also, it's not the same in every country. In America / Russia and other Countries who don't care much about copyright - it probably is. In Europe (especially countries in the EU) it is expensive and they can fuck you easily when you do it without paying GEMA or GLV for example (Germany) - and even then, they have shit in their that you may only have 5% Listeners from other countries blah blah blah.

I was using it purely as an example to demonstrate that your statement is false.

I never said where it is expensive. In most countries it is. And the country where you live in counts, not where you host.

[QUOTE=Ideal-Hosting;26901735]In America[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Ideal-Hosting;26901735]don't care much about copyright[/QUOTE] This just in: China also doesn't care about what people say.

Just shut up if you don't have a clue about the Legal Situation Darksoul.

Hosting an internet radio station with your own shit is absolutely free what the fuck are you talking about?

With songs you have made yourself yes. With songs without license management probably too. Just look up which company does the licensing for streaming services/public music playing in your country. In Germany it's GEMA and GLV. For more Information look here: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_BIEM_members[/url] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CISAC_members[/url]

I have it on an offshore VPS ;D
