I love tha idea of haveing a file on my server which then directs the user to the IP, this can potentially stop many hackers and people finding out your IP address, a few questions though?

1. Will this take up any server resourses on my server, common sence tells me that the stream is not via my server so technically, the only bandwidth is the size of the file that redirects them

2. My file can be found at www.majorfm.com/live.m3u and it consists of the following code

Code: Select all

[playlist] 
Numberofentries=1 
File1=http://62.31.36.24:8000/listen.m3u
Title1=Major FM - Live
Length1=-1 
Version=2
How come it doesnt work?

When i type in http://62.31.36.24:8000/listen.m3u

it works fine but the redirection file doesnt work.

Please advice[/code]

M3u files and PLS files are totally different animals.


The code above is only for PLS files

I believe for an M3U you can can just put the addy to the stream on the first line and thats it.

Hi there

I tried hosting the *.pls file on my server, and it opens up in the associated program, but it doesn't start playing. Instead it seems as if it's trying to connect. It says something like http://myip:port/listen.pls and skips back and forth from saying something like Returned.....?
I created a file in notepad and inserted the following code:
[playlist]
Numberofentries=1
File1=http://myserverip:port/
Title1=My Title
Length1=-1
Version=2
I called the file listen.pls, saved to my server and added a link from my webpage.
Any suggestions?

-Xander.

alright, I am needing to know how to access my mime settings. I set up the analogX simpleserver Shout, so I am assuming my mime settings would be on my computer since my computer is actually my server. Can anyone please help me with this. Thanks
