More Information on Radio Stream Update
In my previous post I mentioned that you can access the streams now with the following:

–             http://dhoytt.com:8000/32kbps

–          http://dhoytt.com:8000/128kbps

–          http://dhoytt.com:8000/160kbps

–          http://dhoytt.com:8000/320kbps

You can still access the streams with the above but you must type or paste that into a media player such as Winamp or VLC.

To access via a browser just to get the link up you would use the following format or also place in your media player of choice:

 

–          For 32kbps:

o   http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=1

–          For 128kbps:

o   http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=2

–          For 160kbps:

o   http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=3

–          For 320kbps:

o   http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=4

LISTEN LINKS

The Listen Links have been modified to work on my website as well just click the appropriate link and it will open up a file that will activate your preferred media player in your OS or it will give you the opportunity to delegate your favorite media player.  

You may need to go into your browser and tell it how to handle the content type, I’ll have more detailed information on this later.

FFMP3 EMBEDDED FLASH PLAYERS

The three embedded Flash Player Links at the top work just fine by clicking on the bit rate your choose to stream at.

Well all its time to upgrade the radio stream finally to
Shoutcast DNAS version 2. There are some advantages to moving to the Shoutcast
DNAS version 2 but the main one you will notice as listeners will be that
instead of pointing to a different port for different bit rates for my stream
you will point to just one port and then tell it what stream to listen for.

I have currently tested out the configuration already on my test server in
private mode and everything seems to be working just great as far as the
streaming goes. I now have to get the authorization key from Shoutcast to run
this new stream publicly and have it listed from my test server and then I will
be moving it to my live production server tonight. I will also have a few links
to update on my web site and then everything will be set.

To connect to the new stream the format will be the following:

         
http://dhoytt.com:8000/32kbps

         
http://dhoytt.com:8000/128kbps

         
http://dhoytt.com:8000/160kbps

         
http://dhoytt.com:8000/320kbps

 

I apologize for this brief interruption but I’ll be up and
streaming again soon!
