Shoutcasting Jinzora currently has support for Shoutcasting, it is however very early and limited. Basically you can use any Jinzora playlist as a Shoutcast playlist (and stop and start the Shoutcast server from the "Tools" Page. Getting Shoutcasting Going
| First install and configure Jinzora. Make sure you have it working WITHOUT Shoutcasting support first, so you don't over complicate things...
| Ok, now that you have Jinzora working without Shoutcasting (you do, don't you?) let's set it up. You'll find a directory in the Jinzora install called shoutcast. This directory has all the files we need to edit to get Shoutcast going. In the future it is planned that this install will be automated.
| sc_trans.conf
| Playlistfile = /full/path/to/jinzora/shoutcast/shoutcast.lst This MUST be the full path to the file ServerIP = IP Address or DNS Name If streaming public this must be internet accessable ServerPort = XXXX (something like 8100) Again for public streaming this must be open in your firewall Password = XXXX This is the password that is used for the transcoder to connect to the Shoutcast server StreamTitle = XXXX Whatever you want to name your stream...
