Hi
I use a program that encodes in many audio format (acc, wma, ogg, mp3, etc) and connects to shoutcast, icecast, windows media server, live365, to distribute the web radio.

Willing to use FMS as the distribution server, I tried to send the stream to FMS port but without succes. Online docs doenst treat the argument.
Is it correct to say that FMS is not set up to accept a Windows Media, AAC+,MP3 or Ogg incoming stream and redistribute the radio to swf players?

Best
Jo

    I've done a similar setup before for a radio station (x1fmradio.com)
    What we did was setup 2 computers on the studio, one computer receives the input from console and encodes output to shoutcast and also outputs audio to the second computer running Flash Media Encoder 2, which publishes audio to Flash Media Server.

    If you want an all-in-one solution I would recommend using a Digital Rapids system, which is not free, but you only need one computer and you can publish audio/video to several servers at the same time, including Flash Media Server.

    As far as I know FMS2 will not accept any of these formats. It's only expecting the format that the Flash Player sends it. The Nelly Mosser encoded audio format.

    Have you looked at Flash Media Encoder 2? I believe it's specifically set up to do what you want. That is to stream any of these formats to the FMS server for redistribution via the Flash Player.

    Actually another thing you could do is to convert the audio files to FLV (there are many FLV converters) and then just place them in a streams directory on the FMS server and then have Flash just play them from there. Also the FMS can handle MP3's.
