Calendar/ DSP Plugin - DJ/ID & Password not working correctly.

[splattersix]

Hey guys, I'd like to pick some brains on setting up a shoutcast server correctly if I may. I have spent 2 days now trying, testing and reading documentation (over and over) and yet Im still having problems. I am at my wits end now, so need some help and advice and hoping some of the seasoned shoutcast veterans can possibly offer a solution.

My server is a dedicated server (8GB RAM, Quadcore) running Centos 6.5. I have the latest versions and drops of sc_serv, sc_trans and the Shoutcast DSP plugin for Winamp (as well as latest winamp running).

I have sc_serv sorted and running, not a problem. In fact I even have sc_trans up and running which is connecting to sc_serv as a source for a playlist and its working fine. What isn't working for me is the calendar.xml and dj_login / dj_pass / dj_port part of it.

I was under the impression (from what I have read in the documentation) that you can use sc_trans as a source for a playlist, then when you have calendar.xml setup alongside the dj_login part of the sc_trans config, You should be able to just enter your dj login and password in the fields in shoutcast DSP plugin, enter the server details and connect. The playlist should fade out.. the live stream fade in.. and the opposite when the dj disconnects.

But alas it isn't working. When I put dj_login and dj_pass details in the DSP boxes and try to connect (on the shoutcast v2 port I am using), console says bad password. When I leave the dj_login in the box and enter the stream password, it tries to connect, but says I am unable to connect as a source is already running.. * Scratches head *. I thought the whole point of having dj_login / dj_pass was so that you didn't have to give your DJ the stream password..

As it stands I will have to get a DJ to manually kick the source (via PHP) before they can connect - which totally defeats the point of the calendar etc in the first place.

I give details of my config files below

Hey Man I have a similar problem at http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=374705 and I am also waiting for a response

[splattersix]

Quite amazed on the lack of response given to this considering how large the shoutcast / winamp community is. I think I've been patient enough. I was hoping someone somewhere would have some idea as to where the problem may lie.

Hoping for some help, no matter how vague.. *bump*

All what you really need you can find in the WIKI:

http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/SHOUTcas..._Specification

You must add the playlist and the djs as event in the calendar.xml. Make sure the djs have a higher prio than the playlist. Otherwise the djs can't drop the playlist. In my example the playlist have the lowest prio. So every dj can dpop it. You can set different prios between the djs, maybe dj001 have prio 9 and the dj002 have prio 8. So dj002 can't kick dj001.

code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<eventlist>



<event type="dj">

<dj archive="0" priority="9">dj001</dj>

<calendar />

</event>



<event type="dj">

<dj archive="0" priority="9">dj002</dj>

<calendar />

</event>



<event type="playlist">

<playlist loopatend="1" shuffle="1" priority="0">default</playlist>

<calendar starttime=":00:00" duration=":00:00" repeat="0" />

</event>



</eventlist>

To set the passwords for the djs you can type it in your trans conf or you can create a separate conf-file like djlogins.conf and this one you can include at the end of the trans conf file:

include=/home/shoutcast/conf/djlogins.conf

code:
djlogin_1=dj001

djpassword_1=xxxxxxxx

djpriority_1=9



djlogin_2=dj002

djpassword_2=yyyyyyy

djpriority_2=9

The same you can do for the playlist filenames at the end of the trans conf file:

include=/home/shoutcast/conf/transplsfiles.conf

code:
playlistfilename_1=default

playlistfilepath_1=playlists/default.lst
