Let's rock!

Post#1 » 15 Feb 2015, 21:28

Literally!

Years ago, I used to stream something I called "Radio Vey" (my main's name was Veylla back then). I had a dedicated PC running 24/7 in the corner of my room for the sole purpose of doing nothing but streaming music.

I'm getting creative and trying to figure out how to get that up and running now without the added expense/hassle of an additional PC.

I've created a additional 'user' on my kids computer, installed vent and winamp, configured winamp to output into a USB sound stick (a usb device that both has a headphone out and microphone in) and used a double male speaker cord to go out of the headphone jack and into the microphone jack.

I've recreated it as "Radio Bell"

He can load his user up, still watch his Curious George (the sound plays through the default sound device, on board motherboard, and through his speakers)... seems to be working without interruption.

I queued up a 24/7 internet radio station and letting that stream for the next couple days to give it a good test. If all goes well, I'll upload my collection of MP3's and stream those... they should provide a better quality than the internet radio that is playing now.

Any questions, or suggestions, please toss them here.... otherwise, enjoy the music! Let me know if it stops working or you hear an episode of Curious George :)

I Used To Do Something Very Close To This Using Ventrillo And Xm Satalite Radio. It Worked Realy Well. When I Tried To Do The Same With Mumble, I Couldn't Get It To Let Me Join As 2 Different Users At One Time. And Was Generaly A Pain In The Ass. However This Sounds Awesome, And Would Have Me Hanging Out In Vent More Often.

I'm having an issue where it just stops playing... I disabled all PC related "sleep" possibilities... I'm starting to think it's the internet radio I'm using to test. Next time I get to the PC I'll put in a list of MP3s and see if that works. Sorry and thanks for the feedback!

At 10:50am on 02/28/2015 I switched the current playlist (my wife's list of music) to about 115 of the songs i enjoy most from my collection.

Enjoy!

I think I figured out why is was dropping every hour for a split second. Seems like my router was refreshing IP addresses every 3,600 seconds (1 hour). Not sure why it didn't affect my primary PC, however, we didn't notice it doing it on our phones/tablets/printer/etc. Let me know if you still see/hear it blipping off for a few seconds then seeing 2 on vent for a minute when it comes back on.

Thanks!
