How-To: Broadcast Shoutcast from Ubuntu

[Naiki Muliaina]

This aticle is a 3 part article on running broadcasting Shoutcast music from a Linux desktop to a Shoutcast server. It is aimed at newbies to walls of text and those that just cannot find a good shoutcast guide for Linux. Its also aimed at those, like me, that need Shoutcast on Second Life in Linux. ^^

Ok, so, Shoutcast on Linux kinda sucked for me. I have got it working now, but through none of the normally suggested programs. If you do not want to use what i suggest, try googling VLC, IDJC, DrakIce (and Darksnow) or Amarok.

My way of using Shoutcast is through their own ‘looks like a lot of complicated stuff’ way. Its actually however quite easy. Infact if you always broadcast to the same server, you only ever have to make play lists and change the name of the play list in the .conf file once your set up. However, on first viewing this looks complicated to the new to Linux folk, or even just those that dont use terminal and stuff much. My partner uses Mandriva and Mint so never has to touch terminal or config files so was mortified on seeing a wall of text config file when she downloaded Shoutcast. If you know your stuff with linux or know your way about config files, you might want to skip this article. Its aimed at newbies to walls of text and those that just cannot find a good shoutcast guide for Linux. ^^

To download Shoutcast, click the following link:

Click here to download Shoutcast

Extrat the file to wherever you want. You will have a folder called sc_trans_40 with a couple of files in. The only ones we need are sc_trans.conf and sc_trans_linux. For the sake of this article we are also going to use example.lst as well. The freebsd and macosx can be deleted if you like nice clean folders. ^^

Open up the sc_trans.conf file and you are presented with a wall of text. Below is the list of lines you may have to edit.

PlaylistFile=example.lst

ServerIP=myserver.com
ServerPort=8000

Password=yourpassword

StreamTitle=My Gay Son
StreamURL=http://mygayson.com
Genre=genres go here

LogFile=sc_trans.log

Shuffle=1

Bitrate=80000
SampleRate=44100
Channels=1

Quality=1

CrossfadeMode=1
CrossfadeLength=8000

UseID3=0

Public=1

AIM=AIMHandle
ICQ=ICQnumber
IRC=shoutcast

That wall of text is suddenly a lot less scary eh? ^^ My partner certainly thought so.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this part I am going to cover what you do with the sc_trans.conf file. If you are only ever going to stream to one server all you ever need to change past the first time is the PlaylistFile entry. For a simple list of what may need editing, have a quick look at Part 1 of this guide. The bits in red are all you need to change. So lets get editing this file. ^^

For this you will need the following details of the shoutcast server you are broadcasting too.

Server IP
Server Port
Password
Stream Url

Got them? Ok lets roll. ^^ First off, the self explanatory bits.

PlaylistFile=example.lst

Change this to whatever the name of the playlist you want to play is called. Well cover playlists in Part 3 of this guide. For now well just leave it at example.lst.

ServerIP=myserver.com
ServerPort=8000
Password=yourpassword

All the details you should have for the server your broadcasting to. Replace what ive highlighted in red with your details.

StreamTitle=My Gay Son
StreamURL=http://mygayson.com
Genre=genres go here

Stream Title is whatever you want. Mine is DJ Naiki. Stream Url is as above a detail you should have for your shoutcast server. In Second Life its the club i work fors Land Url. For Genre that is again whatever you want it to be. Mines Urban Chill.

LogFile=sc_trans.log

When broadcasting Shoutcast will save a log into your sc_trans_40 file. This is just the name of it. If you want it to have a different name, edit this. I always just leave it as is.

Shuffle=1

Shuffle on or off. 1 is for Shuffle on, 0 is for shuffle off. I cant stand shuffle, i like my playlist to be played as is. You can just delete the 1 and leave it blank and shuffle turns off.

Bitrate=80000
SampleRate=44100
Channels=1

The quailty of the audio that your listeners hear depends directly on the the bit rate of your audio stream. The basic rule is that the higher the bit rate, the higher the quailty of the audio. 96,000 is the most common. The club i work at have 128,000.

Quality=1

Quality is self explanatoy. Enter a number 1 to 10. 1 is the best quality, 10 s the worst quality.

CrossfadeMode=1
CrossfadeLength=8000

Crossfade blends the beggining and ends of songs. Crossfade mode set to 1 is crossfade on, set to 0 is off. Again you can just delete the 1 and leave it blank and this turns it off. Crossfade length is of course the length of the crossfade. Edit as desired.

UseID3=0

Allows you to broadcast ID3 tags. Set it to 1 to turn it on, 0 is off.

Public=1

Public is wether or not you to have your station on the public listings or not. Again 1 is on, 0 or blank is off.

AIM=AIMHandle
ICQ=ICQnumber
IRC=shoutcast

Edit as desired. They just let people know your handles. I delete them all and leave them all blank.

Part 3 will be about the Playlist file.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last part of my guide, the play lists. You can call the play lists whatever you like, for this we are going to the example.lst. Personally I have 30+ play lists ready for whenever I need them. Whenever you want to play a different play list, open the conf file, and change the name of the play list. For example:

PlaylistFile=example.lst
PlaylistFile=chillout.lst
PlaylistFile=ministry_vs_hedkandi.lst

Ok, so on to making a play list. Open example.lst. When you run Shoutcast it will play what ever is in this file in order of this file. If you do not have shuffle turned on it will play in order of The 2 lines are just examples. Delete them both (and the rest of the text if you like, its not needed) and enter the paths to the songs you want to play. An example is below for a four song play list.

/home/nai/Shoutcast/sc_trans_040/3 minutes.mp3
/home/nai/Music/Aaliyah/Aaliyah/15 - Try Again.mp3
/home/nai/Music/Chill Carrier - Awakening/01 - Beautiful Flow.mp3
/home/nai/Music/Darude/Sandstorm/01 - Sandstorm (radio edit).mp3

In Ubuntu, you can browse for the files in Nautilus, right click and copy them, then paste them into the text file. That will just paste the path into the file. Makes life a little easier if you like using the file manager.

Some things to bear in mind. Now for some odd reason, it has always played from the 2nd track for me. So put your first song into the 2nd line.

Also, the play list keeps repeating itself when done. This can be a pain in the bum if you want a nice smooth ending to your play list. So to counter this, bearing in mind the first time your play list skips the first track, I have a 3 minute long silent track at the start of the play list. This gives me a nice long silence where I can kill Shoutcast. I Kill the process to stop it playing. You can do this through terminal with the KILL command. Personally I keep Ubuntu’s process monitor open in a small window in the bottom of my screen. Once the play list is done, I right click it and kill it.

Now thats it. Once you have finished your play list make sure the play lists name is in your .conf file correctly. Now start the sc_trans_linux program and it will begin playing your play list.

That’s it! Your now broadcasting Shoutcast from Linux. Good luck with your DJ’ing! Hope to hear you soon! ^^

thx!

[SoundSquare]

very interesting post and how to, i'm tired of shoutcasting from a windows box, i'll certainly try what you suggest soon.

thanks !

[MZ250Supa5]

Good attempt, but still 'blinded by science' too much info is almost as bad as too little, and I'm still very confused as how to this. When showing people how to do things I do it in a series of logical steps, using specific example so that people can actually 'do' it. Keep it very simple, and use a 'step -by-step' approach. I am far from stupid, but I first need to have a 'way in' in order to understand exactly how to make this work, including how to create playlists.

[MZ250Supa5]

Actually I now have to take back my above comments, and say with much egg on face that it is indeed simple to set up.

HOWEVER, there is one vital flaw. How exactly does one get the sc_trans_linux file to run? A newbie would not have a clue, which is my predicament.

This is not aimed at this tutorial in specific, but it would be helpful if all guides for 'newbies' were perused before publication to make sure that every step to successful completion is included - so often I see otherwise good tutorial rendered useless by the omission of one vital step - forgivabel in a guide for intermediate, or advanced users, but not in guides for newbies - we all have to start somewhere.

[nevaeh.aaric]

Thanks for the guide and updating us. We are still very confused as how to this but your guideline is very helpful for us. Again thank you.

Has anyone come up with a linux shoutcast solution that streams LIVE audio?

SC_Trans only does play lists or trans-codes streams coming from a Windows box running Winamp with the shoutcast plug-in.

I run a live police scanner streaming site and right now I am using two computers. A Windows box (running Winamp with the shoutcast plug-in.) to encode the live audio and a linux box running sc_serv to serve the streams.

The linux box also hosts the website with Apache.

Has anyone tried running Winamp with the shoutcast plug-in under Wine? Winamp seems to run and play back MP3's but my poor little linux box seems to choke on the shoutcast plug-in.

[mjtunes]

hi ive got it all workin great i just got 1 prob on the radio i dj on ppl like to request and i like put on shuffle i was wonderin if there way to choose wot song to play

[MZ250Supa5]

I have been using this method for some months now, and most of the time it has worked well, but recently I've been having no end of problems running the app - I make sure that all the settings are correct, and still I get a load of error warnings telling me that the sample rate is wrong, despite the fact that I've made doubly sure that it's all set up correctly. I'm now tearing my hair out! I had a look at the updated sc_trans, and the instructions for use are just gibberish to me.

This is an example of the output I get when I run the app:
