How to Set Up SHOUTcast Statistic Relays

Setting up a statistic relay for SHOUTcast will let you know how many listeners you have on the SHOUTcast server at any given time.

Before you start, you must retrieve server details from your SHOUTcast host.

To set up statistic relays for SHOUTcast, open SAM Broadcaster and follow these steps:

• Click on “Desktop B” in the toolbar.
• In the “Statistic Relays” window, click the plus sign (“+”) to add a new relay.
• Select “SHOUTcast statistic relay” from the list.
• Click “OK.”

The SHOUTcast server details window will appear. In it, enter the following details:

• In the “Host” field, type your DNS name or IP address, for example, “rs6.myhost.com”.
• In the “Port” field, type your port, for example, “80″.
• In the “Password” field, type the password from your stream hosting account.
• Leave the SID field at zero if you are using SHOUTcast 1.0, otherwise enter the SID as indicated in your stream hosting account.
• To select the “Color on graph,” click on the color box, and a color selection window will appear. In it, select the color you want to use to represent this particular statistic on your relay graph.
• Click “OK.”

Your SHOUTcast statistic relay is now configured.
