Access Shoutcast Stream and/or windows media encoder stream?

[Guest anthonyv]

ok here's a question that i can't get around, i've been trying to find a way round this problem, the reasons and solutions but have had no joy at all.

The situation is as follows.

I have live streaming audio using a shoutcast server, and in order to listen to the live stream i can go to http://:8000 using winamp.

i wasnt to be able to listen to the live stream (which is running at 24k) thru my smartphone 2002, however this isn't possible at the moment.

1st question: is there a way i can listen to my live audio stream using any software to connect to it thru my spv?

2nd question: if not, what can i use to stream that will allow me to listen via SPV?

cost of gprs is not an issue as i have unlimited free gprs.

ok, second situation/issue is as follows:

i also have a live webcam streaming 24/7 using windows media encoder 9...

again, i want to be able to watch this using my SPV.

1st question: how can i watch this on the spv, baring in mind the access url is: http://:8080

2nd question: if this is not possible, how can i make it possible?

in summary:

i want to be able to watch my live webcam and listen to live stream when i want thru my spv.

i am currently using shoutcast for audio streaming and windows media encoder 9 for webcam.

how can i access the streams as they are now?

if this is not possible, what software must i use to make it possible.

when trying to access the webcam i get an error about how i may not be connected to the network, file may be missing and so on.

any help will be much appreciated.

thankyou.

AFAIK Shoutcast is not supported on the phones.

WMP on the phone can stream media but it does not support Encoder 9 files :?

[Guest anthonyv]

ok, thanks for that...

rite, so fair enough i can't access shoutcast, ok, but accessing the stream, what should i use to encode/stream instead? i've heard about windows media encoder 7... is that what i need to be using to enable viewing of the webcam stream via my spv?

any help is much appreciated. thanks..!

[Guest Richie M]

Sorry for the late reply, yeah Encoder 7 is fine ;)

WME9 lets you pick what encoder to use, so you can make it use a v7 or v8 codec which work fine

I've successfully had Winamp playing, WME broadcasting the "what you hear" input over the internet and my phone connected and playing quite happily (tho only for a minute or so, out of fear of scary phonebills), but it does work

ok, i will give it a shot.. i don't pay for anything except calls for my mobile, so not worried about the cost issues for listenin 2 live streams..

much appreciated.. thanks guys!
