    Hello forum, i have virtual dj programm for playing music and i have it to broadcast at a shoutcast server, i want to know if i can make a programm that will run in shoutcast server pc and will "listen" and rebroadcast the music to another shoutcast server. i found this
    Code:
    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/audio-video/SHOUTcastRipper.aspx?msg=2078466
    so i suppose that c# can handle "listening" from a shoutcast server. Can c# broadcast to another shoutcast server ?

    Soooo... you're broadcasting to shoutcast... you want to listen to shoutcast, and re-broadcast that to another shoutcast server?

    Why? That's a lot of bandwidth to be coming and going...

    Probably against their TOS, as well.

    Re: Stream music to shoutcast server

    i want to make a radio server. i will install shoutcast on it and a c# program for remote management. c# will keep an eye on shoutcast's log files and understand when someone connects to it. if someone connects to it i want to sent its stream to another shoucast server, if not i want to stream a list of mp3 files to the 2nd shoutcast server.

    " if someone connects to it i want to sent its stream to another shoucast server," -- this is the part that I'm having trouble understanding... why?

    Re: Stream music to shoutcast server

    i will have 2 servers, 1st = mini 2nd= big . I want to have djs and playlists. When 1st server starts up automatically will play playlists (my c# app will pass cmd commands to winamp and will play them througth winamp dsp plugin which streams to 2nd server).

    when a dj want to play music, he will connect to shoutcast server (mini) and my c# app will understand it because it will log the server and then will pass cmd commands to winamp to stream with dsp plugin to the 2nd (big) server, (winamp will actually playing url 127.0.0.1).

    when the dj disconnects from server 1 (mini) my c# app will understand it and it will pass cmd commands to winamp to stream to 2nd server the playlist files again.
