Hi Johan,

 

I don?t know how to do this myself ? but maybe you do?

 

The documentation you linked to is all very well ? but I thought a very simple statement for newbies like me who merely want to use a fraction of Icecast?s power ? to allow Roon to pick up a live stream of digitised vinyl and capture it (and broadcast it) as a local radio station, would be useful.

 

 

How to allow Roon to capture a live (digital) data stream ? eg. from a phono stage plus A2D converter ? and broadcast it as a local radio station:

 

NB: this was done on a W10 PC ? but I expect works the same on other versions of Windows.

 

#1:  download Icecast.  You should find it gets loaded into a folder named ?Icecast?, under ?Program Files (x86)? on your C:drive.

#2:  download BUTT (?Broadcast Using This Tool?).

#3:  click on the ?icecast.bat? file.

#4:  set up a ?Local radio station? within Roon.

 

 

Perhaps you can display it somewhere in that documentation link?

 

 

 

Regards,

Andrew

May I suggest studying the excellent documentation? This is a really good place to gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals of Icecast. It's incredibly powerful, thus has a bit of a learning curve.

Thank you, Johan.

 

I clicked on the bat file ? and up came a nice screen saying something like ?load http://localhost:8000 into your browser?.  ?  (Sorry for not being precise ? my email is on a different computer to the dedicated one for Roon, on a different floor of the house.)

 

So I did just that ? and got a nice screen which said ?Icecast2 Status?.

 

So what do I need to do next?

 

Note: also on the first screen (which said ?load http://localhost:8000 into your browser?), were some error messages ? such as: ?hostname not configured ? using default?.

 

Do I have to resolve these errors before Icecast will start working?

 

Regards,

Andrew

Just start the windows batch file (icecast.bat)

Hi there,

 

I have downloaded Icecast ? see here:

 

 

I don?t seem to have a ?.exe? file which I can click on to fire up Icecast?

 

Can anyone tell me what I need to do, to get Icecast working?

 

 

Thank you,

Andrew
