live radio broadcast help |
|
|
I am setting up a web site for a local non-profit radio station and they want
to broadcast their live feed over the internet.
I have set up Windows Media Encoder to encode the feed and Media Player will
play the broadcast internally on the stations network, but when I go outside
the network to another internet source and try to connect through the web
site, the Media Player reads 'Connecting...' but never does actually connect.
Here is the web page to connect for reference:
http://www.wlezfm.com/listen.php
Right now, my .ASX file is pulling from a URL in the
http://000.000.0.00:8080/ format.
From what I have gathered from other posts, I need to set up the .ASX file
to go through the network IP and then to the computer IP and port where the
encoding is taking place.
How would I write it out in the .ASX file to go through the network IP and
then through the computer IP and port?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, not the ASX file. The URL in the ASX file should point at the
*public* IP address for your network.
Then, the network router should be configured to accept requests
coming in on the public IP address 000.000.0.00 and HTTP port 8080 ,
and *forward* them to the IP of the machine with the encoder on it,
again to HTTP port 8080.
[ An aside : You could in fact have port 12345 in the ASX file, and
forward from 12345 to port 8080 without any difference in the viewers
experience ]

Leave the ASX file as-is. Get out the manuals for your router. Look up
"port forwarding". Find out the internal (private) IP address of the
encoder machine. Use that as the IP address to forward to, on the
router.
