That code works .... it was taken from one of my sites.

ok the player works but now im tryin to see why the stream skips when ppl are listening to it .. im at 128kpbs stereo

is there a way to make it not skip

if they are using windows media player, they most likely need to increase the buffer size. I had my stream buffer on the same lan using wmp.... Unfortunately, I do not know how to do that because I have only used wmp about two times.

Just looked it up: Tools ---> Options ---> Click Performance Tab ---> Network Buffering ---> Change it to buffer at least 30 seconds of content.

no i didnt mean on media player. i meant like on the code you gave me to post it on my space.. they say that it skips alot n goes in and out..

How are you broadcasting ?
Where is your Shoutcast server located ?
If you are broadcasting to a server loaded onto your own computer on your home internet connection - it's more than likely that your internet connection is limiting the number of simultaneous connections.

You are broadcasting at 128kbps. What's your internet connection's upstream speed ?

Best to carry out a speed test on your internet connection in the first instance (http://www.mouse-mouse.co.uk/hints_tips.php) and then post your results here.

You might want to consider using a third party host to stream through.

ok the server is on my own comp and im broacasting from my comp.. i dont know my upstram speed...im on a router what if i put my server for shoutcast on my other comp and broadcast on mine would that fix the issue?

Ok if i just put the server onto a different computer.

What would i need to use on my shoutcast for winamp? Just the ip and password?

So your upload stream capabilities are 2171 kbps maximum

So max poss simultaneous listeners =
2171 / 128 (bitrate) = 16

This doesn't take into consideration :-

a) overheads for each listener
b) other internet usage from the same computer
c) other internet usage from other computers on the same home network.

Also, you you working on a wired network into your router or a wireless network ?

Wired

The embedded player takes the cache settings from wmp because it is wmp. You need to increase the default buffer in wmp and then it will be fixed.

Trust me, I had the same problem, increased the buffer in wmp even though it was embedded, and it all went away.

Yeah i have set to 30seconds? how should i set it now?
