MediaNet - Support Modules - Mediacast

Purpose: To provide a Shoutcast/ICY style Streaming Server

If you do not have a shoutcast/ICY server but wish to stream your own content then you can activate one or more streams using this server

e.g. you can use Winamp v2.91 and a DSP plug-in to stream the input of your soundcard to medicast for streaming to devices

To pick up the stream you must add details of the stream to the shoutcast source module like any other stream would be added

LOADER.xml

<loader>
    <instance>
        <load module="MEDIACAST" enabled="n" />
            set enabled="y" to enable
        <settings port="8000" password="password" buffer="16" />
            set the port and password for this server (used by winamp to stream to this server), along with the buffer size in kb
    </instance>
</loader>

You can load multiple instances (using different ports) by either creating multiple loader.xml files or in a single file by repeating the <instance>...</instance> section

I use this module to stream a radio (connected to PC soundcard) to my devices. By having entries in my shoutcast source file and using xPL when I select a particular station the xPLHal scripting engine uses a RedRat IR sender to change the tuner's station to my selection
