Web Interface
To use the Web interface on the same PC where Steamcast is running, open a Web browser

and point it to: http://localhost:9800. The number after the colon is the IP port number,

which we have set via the Steamcast configuration file to 9800 in our example. You can

also use a browser on a remote machine, by entering the host PC’s IP number in place of

‘localhost’. Here is a screenshot of the Steamcast Web interface, showing one stream and

one active listener:

For administration, you will need to enter a user name and password. These are the ones you

entered in the steamcast.conf file.

SHOUTcast

The SHOUTcast DNAS (Distributed Network Audio Software) server is available for

Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX at: www.shoutcast.com. It is freeware, but not open

source. This was the server that started it all, developed by Nullsoft, the people who created

Winamp. The software is now in the hands of AOL, who don’t seem to be investing much

in its continued development. Neverthess, it gets the job done.
Here are the user instructions, taken from the SHOUTcast site:
Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP:

SC_SERV.EXE on the Desktop.
3. Start up the SHOUTcast Radio server by double-clicking on SC_SERV.EXE
4. Click on the “Edit Config” menu option located at the top. This will start the default text

directions that are written into the configuration file.
