Or maybe not, let me check.

>>10199226
It'd be great if you could use Shoutcast 1.9.8 instead of the latest version since we can parse the relay's status and display it on the relay page easier.

>>10198933
Yes. It's explained in the FAQ nicely (you don't have to use mp3tag though, foobar2000 with an option changed, Winamp and all decent players can write ID3v2.4 UTF-8).

Which reminds me, I'll have to add a section about reporting tracks.

>>10198889
ID3v2.4. Check "Automatically tag songs". Report (click the i symbol) tracks with incorrectly uploaded metadata.

>>10198840
There's an adaptive algorithm that throttles request rate per user depending on the length of the queue.

It starts at 2 request per 10 minutes and as songs accumulate it can throttle as low as 1 per 20 minutes.

>>10198535
It could be anything then, depending on which network technology you're using.

If DOCSIS then it could be that your neighborhood node you're connected on is overloaded.

If ADSL it could be an overloaded backhaul network in the exchange where your DSLAM resides.

Regardless of networking technology, restarting your DOCSIS modem/ADSL modem/router may fix the problem since consumer stuff is pretty shitty.

Or it could be a local problem with overloaded networks that you can't do anything about.

Try using a different relay. If this doesn't help paste the output of tracert <domain> (win32) or traceroute <domain> (Unix-likes) to pastebin and link to it here.

If you are in a South-Asian or South American country then you may have problems with both relays since rei.mu is in the USA and doujinplay.net in Russia

>>10190038

It's not operational anymore.

>>10183912

Thanks, I don't want any enterprise quality, highly available scalable distributed integrated applications, just a remote box to have fun.

>>10183888
>80 clients

Yeah, this is neat. Is it a VPS? If it is I may be interested in renting one, esp considering it's in the EU.

>>10183855
Done. I can't add you to the relays page yet but it will be done soon. What's the client limit for the server? From a cursory glance the status webpage doesn't show it.


Anyway, thank you for relaying the stream!

>>10183836
Rename the mountpoint to have the correct extension for the actual codec, i.e. otaku.mp3

I'm not sure the relay page can parse the icecast webpage to extract listener statistics at the moment.

>>10183777

Sure, relays are welcome if you have the bandwidth for it, especially if they are based in Western Europe where a stable relay is needed (rei.mu is in the US). With the current bitrate it's 1 Mbps per 4 clients so set your client limit accordingly with bandwidth to spare for buffering.

Just point your relay to the main stream's address (skully.hopto.org:8000) and post your own relay's domain here. I'll add it to the relay list on the site.

>>10178908
You could always find the tabs. Otherwise you may have to write a custom parser or use the parsing library of an existing PC98 tracker and export notes, durations, FM data and samples.

But since you're not much of a programmer, then I guess it can't be helped. Your only hope is a premade solution that may or may not exist.

>>10178865
No. Most tracker tracks cannot. You have to decode them to mp3 or wave files if you want to listen to them without the tracker software.

Tracker music is way more complex than what the General MIDI standard supports.

>>10175266
SAM doesn't support FLAC. Also, our current song database would take up over 2TB of space in lossy and that amount of space isn't really available.

In any case, I find the stream transparent in most circumstances.

>>10175187
The source files are a mix of MP3 and Vorbis files uploaded by all you, in various bitrates. Most recent stuff (barring nicovideo/youtube rips) are MP3 V0 or CBR.

>>10174794
The stream you're listening at, duh.

>>10174752
Speaking of uptime...

>>10174757
I've not been working for the past 2 years after the massive undersizing the company went through but I've been doing a few routes once or twice a month to fill blanks in the schedules, It is a pretty chill job. No managers to distract and whine to you, no industrial designers forcing their bullshit on you and only dealing with the HR vampires once a month.

Best part, I could blast my weeb music in the semi's cab and moving rhythmically on the air-suspended seat while wearing flipflops, shorts and a wifebeater with the A/C in full power and the cruise control engaged. And it payed relatively well for not having to use my brain very actively.

In my experience this is the most robust, lightweight client for listening to streams of one's choice. It's so good that I was able to listen to the stream driving a truck across half the country for 6 hours straight.

>>10155542

Understanding is not required . Only accurate transmission of information.

>>10155497

Tagging works correctly for ~98% of the files uploaded. It's only a few specific characters in the "Artist" or "Title" ID3 tag that break the PHP library for tag manipulation that we use.

>>10155517

Wanna fight about it, DOHC-VTEC turbo-injectedsperg?

Ah, nevermind. Take it easy and enjoy the stream.

>>10155493

"Thank you for reporting the issue. I would like to inform you that I blah blah blah..."

I don't use the politically-correct "polite", "courteous" Newspeak that some influential modern companies and people force. Dressing up words unnecessarily results in the point being lost or diminished in impact. Perfect for the gutless, spineless masses. But not for me.

>>10155479

And done.
