Shoutcast uses a different system to Abyss. Abyss is web server. Shoutcast is a web server and a streaming media server in one. You still have to use shoutcast however you could make a website for your streaming audio and use Abyss to host it. :-)

garycg,
Both Shoutcast and Abyss Web Server are HTTP servers. But Shoutcast is specialized in audio streaming while Abyss Web Server is a more general web server aimed at hosting files and web applications.

| Thanks for the help, needless to say i jump into things blind, like throwing away instructions on something and putting it together from scratch, but i usually end up finding original instructions anyway :lol: thanks again |

To stream music from a shoutcast server you can simply use this code
| Code: | <OBJECT ID="WinMedia"
classid="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"
CODEBASE="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"
width=280 height=45 standby="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."
type="application/x-oleobject">
<PARAM NAME="FileName" VALUE="http://address.to.server:8000">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" Value="true">
<PARAM NAME="Volume" VALUE="0">
<PARAM NAME="ShowControls" Value="true">
<Embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
pluginspage="http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/"
src="http://address.to.server:8000"
Name=MediaPlayer
AutoStart=1
Volume=0
Width=280
Height=45
autostart=1
ShowControls=1
</embed>
</OBJECT> |
Just remember to change the two parts where it says "address.to.server:8000" ;)

You can also use Windows Media Encoder to Stream video or music but it uses alot of cpu...Recommend using a dedicated server computer for it..

For audio only about 10% cpu is used on a 1.3GHz machine. Video is usually 100% on any spec pc.
Also it can crash a lot and cause blue screen of deaths. There are alternatives out there. My friend made one for audio, video and audio/video combined.

MediaMaster its called. It was created in Delphi and is designed for windows XP.
