Streaming music over network? - Page 3

LeperousDust · 03-10-2007, 00:46

How frustrating the Open mixer dialog button does nothing on my Vista machine, and i've got all the music. Sounds about right, gonna get it up and running on another but he's got norton installed and i truly hate it

Where can i get that "What u hear" program thingy googling doesn't seem to bring up much... I feel i'm getting close though...!

Having no luck with just general Shoutcasting either here, what the fubar is going wrong, its not like i haven't streamed media at home with the same settings something is wrong with my network here...
I also can't access the Edinburgh website via VPN even though i'm using the EXACT same setup as i did at home, even with the same bloody make of router!??! Something doesn't feel right...

What we used to do on the yachts is put the music into audio/video processing multiplexers, then route them through on a specific channel/stream throughout the yacht. Then when you selected than channel you'd hear whatever is being streamed - however this kit cost 5-6 figures usually so not much help for you!

There must be some streaming server software out there that you can use no?!

Apparently not, apart from shoutcast which looks ok, cheers Mark! Shame it's flat out refusing to work past my computer... Nobody can actually recieve my shoutcast

. Forget it i'll just turn the speakers up really loud (thats what i was trying to avoid, i wanted an even spread of music rather than one really loud room which is what is gonna happen now...

I assume you let it out through whatever firewall you're running.

Oh, and if you do use it, remember to set it so it's not a public stream - otherwise you'll get people trying to listen (not that that's a problem if you're behind a router).

Yeah i'm behind a router, and the only firewall is the windows firewall on mine (don't trust norton as mentioned on another) it did initially moan but its not blocking now, and i've tried it with it turned off too. The obvious basically, i don't think its that, because i've got this weird problem with my VPN too, which works on this laptop behind my home router, but not behind my uni flat router (they're actually the same router too though, and both setup by me! =\ )

Hmm maybe it's worth getting dedicated hardware to do it?

It really isn't for just this party

I'll turn the music up louder, and we have to suffer with different music being played in different rooms... It'll only sound odd as you walk between areas. People will be wasted and not really notce
