butt (broadcast using this tool) Reviews

When I run the Windows version it kills all of my audio outputs until I reboot. When I run in a Debian VM it spits a lot of weird error messages and has a hard time connecting to / keeping connected to my mic.

Awesome. A project for all o.s. (even for my Linux) that works like a charm and even let backup configuration.

Hi Can anyone please help me. at one point the Butt was working perfectly fine Now I keep getting an error message that comes up. Saying error while parsing config. lllegal value (-1) for num _of _ srv Butt is going to close now , I have tried to uninstall the program but the error message is not going away any suggestions would appreciate your assistance.

Good product.

I have used butt on a Macbook Air and really liked it but I've never been able to get it to compile on my Ubuntu/Linux machine. My last try failed with a make problem with libcrypto - this is with version 0.1.20. I have Pop-OS 20.04 which is Ubuntu from System 76 and no luck compiling. I certainly rate the program highly and wish I could find a solution -- the Apple version comes as a DMG package and there are no install problems at all. -Daniel - thanks for the helpful response. I'll follow up and let you know when I've got it working.

Hybrid-Analysis rates this program as malicious. Would never install. [https]://hybrid-analysis.com/sample/434e23c7274f685cca82ea8b511c2297c20b8d84967c21ba289004198230aab8

This program is excellent, and I've used it for years. I use it to stream our church audio to an icecast server so people can listen in. I really like the fact that it can record locally even when it's streaming.

This is my goto streamer for live sporting events. I have used it to stream from a Behringer UCA222, a Tascam US-42 and now a Behringer XR18 Digital Mixer. All work flawlessly on windows 10 running on an Asus XS35 with 2 GB of RAM. No testing with a Raspberry pi 3b and 3b+ the make a more compact portable system. We stream of a 4G connection to our Shoutcast server and it works perfect. has about a 1-2 second delay depending on signal strength but that is OK. We also record our broadcasts with BUTT for later playback on our internet radio station. Also works great! Never had to use support but the user base is a wealth of information for those just starting out with streaming.

When people ask to see my butt, I have no problems getting my butt out and showing them. I show them how flexible it is and how easily I can get it to do what I want. I show them all the different streams that can come out of my butt. It's fantastic. Buttastic, in fact.

Our stream provider updated the shoutcast server to the latest build, SHOUTcast Server v2.5.5 (Build 732) and now the software won't connect to the server. Provider contacted both the makers of B.U.T.T. and shoutcast. They are awaiting a response from both. Very frustrating. Looks like shoutcast broke something again. In the mean time, the provider downgraded our SHOUTcast server to v1 so we can connect. :( Otherwise, the program worked great!

Hi, Butt no work shoutcast server

Fantastic, lightweight piece of software. Some additional work required on the audio properties (eg being able to select input channels) but this is my goto streamer.

OMG! it's THE Program to broadcast for ShoutCast works perfectly! very stable, lots of choices!!

The tool is great, we've been using it to have our own-community internal radio for 3 years already suggestion - it would be great to implement something like auto-adjust input volume (automatically lower - so it doesn't go too high, won't you agree ?

I use this for my church to send back a stream to my icecast server at home. I also use it to locally record the audio. This utility has helped me eliminate the need to use both oddsock (under Winamp) and m3w. Killed two birds with one stone. Marvelous!

My non-profit has over two dozen individual broadcasters and we put out many hours/day of recorded and live content on several icecast channels. We've been doing this for over 10 years and we've used several other encoders in the past. BUTT is the best and that's all we use now. Period. It's easy to set up and train people to use, it's very light-weight and compact in size and it's rock solid stable. There are still some opportunities for added features and I hope many others will donate and help support the author in continuing to develop BUTT.

Gets better all the time! Now with Opus! Can't wait to open a new opus stream Fine program. If you have skips, or drops on Ubuntu - close and reopen butt. --Note: New versions of program this is fixed. Once it runs right, good as gold. Works great with Jack Audio Connection kit also. Ted

This is excellent app, very stable. I use this program for live streaming and recording, work for months without problem. Simple to use. I would like only one more option, possibility to set different dating scheme for recorded files. Now by default when recording starts file is named by date. I use split every hour option. It would be nice to have possibility to set that every new file is named with date and time when this file is recorded.

I have used this product for years to live stream into Second Life. It is easy to use and very dependable. Thanks :) Caoilte Skytower

I've been streaming live music with the BUTT broadcaster for 6 years. I've never had any issues with it. I'd love it if you would create a broadcaster for use on my android tablet. CelticMaidenWarrior

Hello, I installed my butt for streaming radio, but after installation and everything ok, I started to notice some brief and random interruptions during transmission, and that I was not with SimpleCast. I would use the butt for transmission band name. Any suggestions?

butt is THE BEST encoder. Stable, uses minimal resources, so much better than others we have used.

Butt is great! Thanks.

small and efficient and gets the job done.
