Radio Down (lack of funds)

rjd22

Some of you may have noticed that the radio is down. This is because the program we are using is a expencive program and our licence expired. We will need to pay a new licence of 279$ to get it back up.

If you enjoyed the radio and want it back please donate to FTP-Anime so that we can buy a new licence and put the radio online again.

EDITUPDATE:
I found a workaround for now. This still means the license needs to be bought but it is less priority now. Also SubZero you can DJ in a while. Are you still up for the job?

I fixed it but it isn't a stupid thing to buy a license. Still we can keep running. (for now)

Hell's yeah im down for the job. You just let me in on the tools and either give me a few pointers on how it works or i can try and figure it out myself. From the picture you sent me a while back, I judge its not too complex.

You mean like programming similar program? Or am I mistaking.... o.O

No, nothing that diluted. I am referring to the DJ mixer...the thing i need in order to make play lists, take requests and generally talk.

Oh, sorry then... I really misunderstood. Maybe we should make our own program to do this stuff, so we won't need the expensive one...

Well, that is a shame...I didnt even think it was required to put money into the radio to keep it running, but hell...everything good comes with a price. Damn...

Hello

What about using a different streaming software?
I got icecast2+iceS2 up and running in less than an hour with no prior experience in web radio streaming.
Icecast is free sofrware and doesn't cost you a single cent.

Making a playlist script that reads requests from a text file and otherwise picks a random audio file to play, took me 30 lines of ruby code, so its not hard to do. Even though requests should be read from database in practice. But i didn't want to setup mysql just for the testing.

What is a critical point is the web site interaction. Without knowing how this currently works (especially how much of it is part of the current streaming software) its impossible to tell how much work is needed there.

If there is interrest in an alternative streaming software, please provide some details.
