Where are my values? Open your panel, go to Live DJ and look at the card
Go live: set up your encoder. Address, port and password are filled in for your station and each has a copy button.
Set up Mixxx
- Open Options → Preferences → Live Broadcasting.
- Create a connection. Set type Shoutcast 1.
- Enter the address in Host, then port and password. Leave Login and Mount empty.
- Under encoding, choose MP3 and 128 kbps, stereo.
- Click OK, then turn on Options → Enable Live Broadcasting (or click the antenna icon).
If it doesn't connect
- Check that you used the live DJ port from the panel, not your stream port.
- Check that you used the live DJ password (or a DJ account password), not the stream password from Broadcast.
- SHOUTcast v1 programs also use the next port up automatically. Make sure your firewall or network allows both.
