Hi everybody, I am running Icecast at home but I have a very low bandwidth so only 3 people can actually listen to my radio at the same time. I have an account with a hosting company which gives me a data transfer of 15Gb/Month but I only use about 10 Mb/month... My idea is to use the bandwidth of my hosting company (instead of mine) by replicating my stream on my webserver. I think PHP, Perl or CGI is able to do that but I didn't find any script. Does anyone of you know such a script/application? Did anyone of you tried to do the same thing? Thanks in advance for any help, Macsym
Hi: Your problem is that you're going to want only one listening process but many serving processes, otherwise it's not going to achieve anything. So to explain further, when someone connects to your hosting provider, you'll want them to connect to the stream which is already being pulled from your box, not start another instance which connects to your box. Basically what you want is a server, like icecast. You might be able to hack something together, but to my mind, you'd only be re-inventing icecast or something like it, so why bother? I realise you'll need to get your hosting company to install icecast, but there's really no other way to get around it that I can think of. Geoff.
