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 SAM Broadcaster
- Open the Encoders window and click +.
- Choose MP3 (LAME) and set 128 kb/s, 44.1 kHz, stereo.
- On the Server Details tab, choose SHOUTcast.
- Enter address, port and password. Leave other fields empty.
- Click OK and then Start. The encoder status shows the connection.
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.
