This guide explains how to make your stream public on SHOUTcast. Public listing means registering with SHOUTcast, a third party, so that your stream appears in their directory.
Steps
- In your control panel, go to Settings, then Server overrides. Set the stream to public and select always.
- Restart your server so the change takes effect.
- Create an auth hash, which registers you with shoutcast.com. In the Citrus3 control panel, click the admin link on the left-hand side. A new page appears with your server settings.
- Click Server Login in the top-right corner. Enter admin as the username, and use the same password you use for the Citrus3 control panel.
- After logging in, click Create Authhash.
- You are taken to the SHOUTcast/Radionomy website. Register your existing stream for the directory by filling in your station details.
Good to know
- Making your stream public allows shoutcast.com to play occasional adverts over your stream. They have full control over this.
- You must restart your server after changing the public setting.
- You must register your stream with SHOUTcast for it to be listed in the directory.
Once registered, your station is listed in the SHOUTcast directory.
