How do I setup a relay?

1. Creating a Relay Server
– Create or Manage a shoutcast server
– Select the Relay tab under the server configuration
– Set Allow relay to Yes
– Save & Restart your server

Now your shoutcast server will allow relay clients to connect.

2. Creating the relay client.
– Create or manage another SHOUTcast server
– Select the Relay tab under the server configuration
– Set Relay Server to the IP address or Hostname of the server we have just created (The relay server)
– Set Relay Port to the Portbase of the server we have just created (The relay server)
– Allow Public Relay will display this relay server in the shoutcast YP, you can either enable or leave this disabled.
– Save & Restart your server.

3. Stream to the relay server
– Connect & Stream via a DSP to your shoutcast relay (step 1)

Once you start streaming, the relay client will login and start rebroadcasting within the next 30 seconds.
If for some reason the relay client does not start streaming there may be a connection issue between your relay client and server.
You can login to the relay client’s DNAS page and “View Tail Logfile” to get an idea of the problem.
