Are you sure you don't want to use some ready-to-use streaming product?

There's some code I'm gonna put in so that they can put in requests from the website I'm makin

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 2-Oct-12 14:09pm

So, what code, and what did you try? Why are you asking for help, in this case?

I would like to be able to stream to a shoutcast server using java code, I have no idea how to do this, I tryed JMF but that didn't work out, other than that I haven't found anything that could even possibly work.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 2-Oct-12 14:35pm

Well, what's the problem with JMF, and, importantly, why would you need to use just Java?

Hm... completely... Well, please see my solution.

Well not completely but well enough to make a decent program

Good for you, let's consider my suggestion in my answer then.

Seems like Shoutcast has no Java API, so you will have to rely on the given tools.

Here are the details on how to get the thingy started:

Solution 1

The problem is still unclear, as well as your requirements. The discussion in comments cannot convince me that you really need to use Java, or some API, or anything in particular.

So, just in case, consider using a ready-to-use open-source streaming solution, VideoLAN:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VideoLan[^],
http://www.videolan.org/[^].

It can do nearly everything, on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms.

Java bindings are also available:

[EDIT]

As well as .NET:

OK. Are you considering this product? Take a look -- it already solved a lot of problem, so it's very likely you will be able to use it.

I have checked it out and I may try writing a module for it, Thank You

Sicppy 5-Oct-12 14:40pm

I will but now I have another question, is there a way to make a virtual microphone in java, so I could use one of the pre-made shoutcast tools and just stream from a virtual mic

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 5-Oct-12 15:48pm

I don't think I can answer right now, sorry -- I never faced such problems.
