Flash Player Setup for SHOUTcast/Icecast
|
The flash player we would recommend you use with SHOUTcast/Icecast is Muses Radio Player (formerly ffmp3). Note: The player only supports MP3, AAC+ and Ogg streams. There are of coarse many different flash players available and some are more 'powerful' than others But in terms of an easy to setup flash player that has a number of skins to choose from Muse is our preferred choice. A common question we receive is the correct syntax/url to use for the stream url. For Muses Flash Player the correct URLs syntax is as follows: SHOUTcast 1 The URL will always be in this format: http://streamip:port/;stream.mp3 SHOUTcast 2 The URL will most likely be: http://streamip:port/stream Icecast The URL for most customers will be: http://streamip:port/stream The above URL is correct assuming you are using autodj on the /autodj mountpoint, or you stream from your encoder to the /live or /stream mountpoint. If you stream to any other mountpoint, such as /example, your stream URL would be: http://streamip:port/example Note: In most cases you should stream to /live. If you do this, you can still use http://streamip:port/stream to 'tune in' to your broadcast on /live One last note: CentovaCast include a flash player on your CentovaCast 'start page', however the flash player is no longer being updated and the look can't be customised so we'd recommend avoiding the use of it on your own website and use Muse instead. |
