One interesting thing I've found out in iTunes though: on the Mac you need to enter the full URL of the stream inc protocol/IP/Port/Filename (ie ) whereas for the same stream to work under the Windows version of iTunes you have to give it just protocol/IP (possibly Port number as well, can't remember offhand - give it a try), but if you tell it to look for the specific playlist name it sits there doing nothing. Just for sillyness (and for example) I enabled iTunes Music Sharing (rendezvous) on the PC, logged into it from iTunes on the Mac and used NiceCast to stream the playlist back to iTunes on the PC.
#NICECAST FREE PASSWORD#
I'm presuming the password field is to allow you to remotely administer the server, but not 100% sure, hence me asking here.Īnybody else had any success getting NiceCast to stream via shoutcast? If I can get this up n running it'll be a bonus coz it works great with absolutely any app that plays out audio and any audio device/input available to the Mac the server's running on. I've hunted around the winamp site for anywhere I need to register a server, but nothing seems instantly (or even not-so-instantly) obvious. I've tried just making up a password, but nope. What exactly do I need to enter as a password. The one thing (and perhaps most obvious thing) I can think of is the password field. I've also added a rule to OS X's built-in firewall to allow for traffic to/from the server on port 8000.Īll this works just peachy with a NiceCast stream, as I mentioned, but if I try to run a Shoutcast stream I receive the error "Unknown Host" and the server seems to sit in a perpetual state of retrying the connection. I've configured my Router's built-in firewall to allow traffic in/out on Port 8000 (I'm presuming port 8000 is the default for Shoutcast, although if this is the first obvious mistake, let me know right now as I can reconfig no probs - I've seen port number 666 bandied about a bit on these forums) and also set up port forwarding to my local machine on the LAN (set it up with a static IP in the same range as the router so no DHCP probs causing the fault). There is a built-in option to run a Shoutcast server (plus Icecast and Live365 servers), however the support seems rather lacking for these additional server options. I've successfully managed to stream using NiceCast's built-in defult server - the streams list on but I've since being having a play to try and configure it for use with Shoutcast.
Hi, I've recently installed and set up NiceCast v1.7.2 on OS X 10.3.8.
