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 Rocket Broadcaster
- Open the streaming settings and add a new stream.
- Choose server type SHOUTcast 1.
- Enter address, port and password.
- Choose MP3, 128 kbps.
- Pick your audio input and click Start Streaming.
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.
