Stream

This is the main control center for the Shoutcast/Icecast connection. Let’s start from the bottom:

Stream server settings

These are the settings that determine which Shoutcast/Icecast server to stream to, and some meta information for the server.

Audio format	The compressed audio format to send to the Shoutcast/Icecast server. One of either MP3 or AAC
Bitrate	How much to compress the audio sent to the server. The higher the number, the higher the quality, but also more network bandwidth used.
Server type	Stream to Shoutcast or Icecast
Hostname	The hostname of the Shoutcast/Icecast server
Port	The TCP port number of the Shoutcast/Icecast server
Mount point	The Stream ID (Shoutcast) or path (Icecast) to the mount point on the Shoutcast/Icecast server
Password	Streaming to a Shoutcast/Icecast server requires a password. Put this here.
Admin password	Shoutcast/Icecast admin password for retrieval of statistics.
Is public	Meta data for the Shoutcast/Icecast server. Should this stream be shown in a public directory on the Shoutcast/Icecast server or not
Name	Meta data for the Shoutcast/Icecast server. The name of the stream as shown on the server.
Server URL	Meta data for the Shoutcast/Icecast server. A custom URI that the server will link to. Does not have to link back to SegnoSharp.
Genre	Meta data for the Shoutcast/Icecast server. The genre of the stream as shown on the server.
Description	Meta data for the Shoutcast/Icecast server. The description of the stream as shown on the server.

Stream controls

This controls the actual audio stream sent to Shoutcast/Icecast.

Play next track	Convenience function to stop the currently playing track and immediately play the next track in the playlist.
Start streaming	Connect to Shoutcast/Icecast using the configuration in Stream server settings, start encoding the audio stream, and start sending it to the server.
Stop streaming	Disconnect from Shoutcast/Icecast and stop encoding.
Volume	The audio volume of the audio stream.
Title	When a track starts playing SegnoSharp will send meta data information about this specific track to the Shoutcast/Icecast server. You can modify this meta data here Use combinations of %album%, %title%, and/or %artist%, or add some static text if you want. See note below for more details.
Connect	If this option is turned on SegnoSharp will connect, start encoding, and start sending to Shoutcast/Icecast when SegnoSharp starts. This is convenient so that if SegnoSharp needs to restart for a reason, then you don’t have to log back on to manually start streaming.

Note

The %artist% token will first check if there are any credit groups on the track that are marked as Include in auto playlist that also has one or more artist. If there are then %artist will use the information from the track. If the track doesn’t contain any credits, then it will do the same check for album credits. See also Credit Groups (Album Editor)
