Both MB STUDIO and MB RECASTER allow you to setup up to 4 encoders to stream live over an external server Shoutcast v1, v2 or Icecast or stream with the internal server

Select menu MBStudio \  Setup and click on the tab Webcast. The first time that you run your station, before to setup the encoder details, you have to set:

  • Capture:

    Set it to MB Studio Mix or if you want to capture an external audio source choose a sound card

  • DSP Plugin:

    Here you can activate a DSP Plugin, this will affect the internet stream

  • Metadata:

    Leave the "Metadata fileter" empty and fill all other fields

 

Now it's time to configure an encoder.

Shoutcast V1 (obsolete, use Shoutcast V2 instead)

  • select type shoutcast
  • codec Mp3 or AAC+
  • enter server:port (Ex: if server is 80.110.100.90 and the port is 9442 you must enter 80.110.100.90:9442) (don't put http in front of the address!!)
  • enter the "source" password
  • enable the flag "Shoutcast v1"
  • Leave empty the adminsitrator password or eneter it if different than the source password

Internal Server

stream directly from MB STUDIO / MB RECASTER - to listen to the audio stream from outside your local network, you need to open the TCP port on your router.

In case the listening statistics do not work and show an error:

The causes can be:

1) in the encoder configuration you have to enter the administrator password, if you do not know it you can find it in the control panel of your hosting server

2) you are streaming in shoutcast v1 mode but the server requires a shoutcast v2 stream (or vice versa)

3) it is possible that your streaming server does not allow the listening stats to be downloaded, ask the administrator of your server for information
