Solve : Streaming Audio?

Answer»

My father is attempting to stream game audio out threw online for the radio station he works at. He has the unit to stream it from setup thing is that when he attempts to do it, the ROUTER supposebly blocks him. Thing is that he isnt sure how to open a port on it. Any idea's how too. I will attempt to add information as needed cause Im not todally sure how to do this ether.I don't know if your router is blocking the streaming or not but one thing is for sure. Your ISP might be blocking it. ISPs don't LIKE your HOSTING a server in their network. They frown upon it and usually reserve such things for their business customers not residential ones.

Yes, it's a business, but does it have residential type account , or a business account? Usually, business accounts cost more because the ISP expects business to use more bandwidth, like your dad is trying to do.I'll have to ask him but, its more so a figure out type of thing as we go.He says that he has win amp streaming the music but, he isnt able to remotely connect an listen too it. We dont expect to get this working at the start of the season. However, we would like to have it up soon.I've never used win amp, but from what I read about it, it sounds like it might be able to what your dad wants to do. Check out this article.

There's a Pro version your dad may need. Also, he needs to check with his ISP to see if they are imposing any limitations on bandwidth.

If the ISP has any problems with this type of streaming audio, he could offer some free commercials for the ISP during the PROGRAM in exchange for access.he told me that its only going too be a few byte's. I'll come back later once I find out more.When you say game, I'm guessing your talking something like baseball or soccer. That's going to be a WHOLE lot more than a few bytes.Sorry, yeah mainly football an basket ball. There's no video feed just plain audio. He said that he hasnt done it in four years so he doesnt have the most recent win amp ether. Not sure if that would cause it or not.
