Shoutcast Flash Player

Support · #1 (**permalink**) 22nd April 2009, 05:21 PM

Minicaster Shoutcast Flash Player is a free shoutcast radio flash player by Draft Light. Minicaster is free from memory problems that other playheads can suffer from. The Shoutcast Flash Player allows you to embed an internet radio into your website. No external music player is required. Play internet radio straight from the web.
Download, Configure and Upload

1. Download the player here : http://www.draftlight.net/dnex/mp3pl...minicaster.zip
2. Unzip the archive.
3. Edit your config file (minicaster.xml) for your shoutcast server :

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<config version="1T" xmlns="http://www.draftlight.net/dnex/config/ns/1T/">
<mp3cast>
  <mount>http://84.16.251.251:9106/;</mount>
  <website>http://www.internet-radio.org.uk</website>
  <title>Hardcore Radio</title>
</mp3cast>
<init autoplay="0" volume="80" reload="5" xfade="0" />
</config>

Change the mount to read http://yourserverip:yourserverport/;. The website and title tags should be changed to reflect your radio stations details.

4. Upload minicaster.swf and minicaster.xml to your website.

Embed into your website

Paste the following code into your website :

HTML Code:

<object id="fmp256" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="minicaster.swf" width="180" height="70">
  <param name="movie" value="minicaster.swf" />

  <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
   <div class="stirfry">

***NEWBIE ALERT***NEWBIE ALERT***NEWBIE ALERT***NEWBIE ALERT***

Wow...

This site has loads of information and useful ones.

Now, I have tried the above, step-by-step, many times, but it did not work for me.

At the moment on my site I have a window that shows the start page of my web radio, (www.fox-webdesign.co.uk/fox-radio.html)

I wanted to remove that window so that I have more space to configure my site the way I want to, but after trying the instructions from this thread, I get the FMP minicaster on my site, but I can;t press the Play button, it is as if the button us frozen.

I'm quite sure is one of my configurations, but me being a true newbie to this webradio stuff, would not know where to start in order to fix the problem.

So I'm here requesting the help of you guys.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,

I have tried it and it's running well.
I can open it with Safari Browser and running smooth, but when I open with IE, the problem is every 1 minute, the streaming cut for 1 second.

Any advise?

Thank you for this description.

But two things I'd like to change:

- is it possible to include the "now playing" title in the player?
- how can I change the code so that the Server IP won't scroll into the player?

If the title would scroll instead of the server IP it would be perfect.

Okay,

This forum seems the closet ill get to answering my question.

I have a shoutcast stream through a 3rd party streaming company, jb stream.

I am unhappy with my current player ( it seems to crash peoples browsers).

I found a player which i would like to emulate, and they use the same company to stream as i do, so i know this can be done!

Here you can find my current player: Mystic Politics | Mystic Politics Radio
Here is my stream: JBServers.net :: Shoutcast Control Panel

Here is the player popup url id like to mimic/copy/steal : Listen Live to AMO 24/7! | Atlas Media Online

here is the code:

Code:

<!-- SWFObject embed by Geoff Stearns geoff@deconcept.com http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="players/swfobject.js"></script>
<body onload="ajax_update();">

<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="players/mediaplayer.swf" style="" id="amo247" name="amo247" quality="high" flashvars="type=mp3&amp;file=http://74.86.169.94:8038/;stream.nsv&amp;backcolor=0xc9e0fa&amp;autostart=true" height="0" width="0"></div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        var so = new SWFObject('players/mediaplayer.swf', 'amo247', '0', '0', '7');
        so.addVariable('type', 'mp3');
        so.addVariable('file', 'http://74.86.169.94:8038/;stream.nsv');
        so.addVariable('backcolor','0xc9e0fa');
        so.addVariable('autostart', 'true');
        so.write('player');
    </script>
<div id="header"><span></div>
<div id="body-inner">
<h2>Now on AMO 24/7...</h2> 
<center><span="http://jbstream.net/tunein.php/amo/tunein.pls" id="cc_stream_info_song">Loading...</span></center>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://jbstream.net/system/streaminfo.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://jbstream.net/js.php/amo/streaminfo/rnd0"></script>
<br/><center><a href="javascript:this.location.reload();">Reload Player</a></center>
</div>
<br/>


</body>

basically this loads a stream in a popup window, EXACTLY as i wish to do, and they use sam broadcaster and jbstream, exactly as i do.

Can anyone tell me how to load up the stream in a swf file like they have?

Thanks a bunch!

Hi,

We've just launched a new site that uses a Flash player to play Shoutcast streams. It includes track playing information as well as cover art.

We're going to be releasing embeddable versions of the player over the coming weeks, follow us on twitter (@radiotuna) or keep an eye on the site (RadioTuna.com) for release updates.

Thanks,

Will

Is there any way I could get a copy of the fla file I would like to make some changes

Hello,
I successfully managed to install minicaster on this URL
http://alejandrolengua.info/telestereo

however I was wondering how will it increase the bandwidth consumption of the website hosting account.
