AACPlayer / Discussion / Open Discussion: Shoutcast support

Hans-Jürgen Bardenhagen - 2004-12-05

Hi, I have just noticed that you added support for Shoutcast aacPlus and MP3 streams to AACplayer, great! Did you test it with the internet radio stations from Tuner2.com, and do they all work? Which other DS players did you test your filters with?, e.g. Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic, too? Is this Shoutcast filter your own creation, or does it rely on another open source project?

  ShoutCast Source Filter is a new DirectShow Source Filter, it could support ShoutCast broadcasting and MP3/AACPlus.
  Please take a look,

    Very nice, so my other question is already answered. :-) By the way, does your Shoutcast filter work with both playlist files for SomaFM aacPlus streams, i.e. the original URL and the link on the Tuner2.com site?
    
    Anyhow, I announced the new AACplayer version at the Audiocoding.com and SomaFM forums, and I'll do this at the Winamp/Shoutcast forum today, because it might interest some of the users there, too.
    
    Last question: do you think it's possible to build a Shoutcast encoding/streaming filter based on FAAC with your applications (using the AAC LC profile then)? The usual way to encode and stream aacPlus with Shoutcast is to couple the Orban Opticodec with the NSV video encoder from Nullsoft, as far as I know (that's where the strange MIME type for audio-only files comes from).

  This project doesn't want to go much deeper into broadcasting sever side so far, it needs more effort and time.
  Thank you for your post on ShoutCast.com

    OK, I understand. By the way, is the AAC parser also necessary when someone wants to listen to aacPlus streams with WMP etc.? I guess it is, right? Does the installation of AACplayer automatically install this parser and the Shoutcast filter, so that the users don't have to do it manually? And do you mention in the installation process that CoreAAC has to be downloaded and installed separately if it isn't there yet? I'm thinking of newbies to DirectShow who might not know this and wonder why they cannot hear anything...

  ShoutCast Source Filter connects to decoder filter (mp3/AAC) directly, it doesn't need parser filter.
  The setup will install all necessary filters to system, including CoreAAC (compliled by me, probably not latest version)

    By the way, do you plan to add the source code to this CVS? I noticed that your latest version only contains a Windows installer, so there is no way of knowing what's inside in case there are problems.

  The whole source code can be check out by anonymous from CVS.
  And Bug report is very welcome!

    Oh yes, it seems I shouldn't believe the project page where the CVS section still shows 0 commits which is obviously wrong.
    
    I just got a bug report per email by Greg from Orban.com who is testing AACplayer in combination with WMP which doesn't work for him. He will either contact you per email, too, or join this forum thread soon.
