A radio station for planeshift. (help needed)

[dorbian]

As some of you might have noticed, Incensio Tenebrae started an online radio station.

This isn\'t a radio station for just the guild members but for all the planeshift players.

Some features are:
-Live DJ\'s
-Online Requesting system
-(if i can get this done) radio talk show with important planeshift people (Lets get one of those developers on the radio).

With every DJ there is, there is his selection of music so you can listen to your favorite DJ and your favorite music.

Because it still is a radio station there will be commercials. If you want a commercial on the radio station you should make yourself a MP3 with the commercial so we can play it once in a while.

We are willing to make this a big radio station but we do need people to help us out.

The most important goal at the moment is people that want to DJ for us.

What should you be able todo:
-use SAM2 Broadcaster
-Have an acceptable list of music ( preferrably on original CD due to authorities).
-Be able to talk between songs ( it should be a bit interesting not like:\"hey a bear walks outside ain\'t that nice\" :S )

We are also looking for a fast server with enough bandwith that is willing to host the radio station, at the moment it is placed on a server but it cannot hold to much connections, after about 23 connections the buffer will run in.

We hope you will enjoy the radio station and if there you have any questions, ask i will be able to answer them.

If you want to listen to the station, goto Incensio Tenebrae Radio and press the listen link.

I\'m on it now, some pretty cool music

heh, you have just about all the songs I have on there already. I\'d like to see some more dreamthreater on there though.... some guys that actually have some skill playing the guitar.

[dorbian]

And then my switch died.
Damn cheapass 5 port switch, now i have to put in a 24 port switch  X( damn thing takes way more place

and well it\'s on Auto DJ as long as i\'m cleaning my room.

I just got home from my 4 weeks of \"no computer ( and i loved it ) cus i\'m stuck on this damn island\" holiday
so i don\'t have anything to bring in at the program.

But if you give me some good band names ( or if you check my playlist and request ) i will add some music from them.

EDIT!: I just noticed that the request system was bugged, damn ISP with their DAMN IP adress switch, i hate m
EDIT!!: I forgot to mention i fixed it

[Icefalcon]

Wow...I thought you were kidding at first, but...I guess your not.

Um, Is my RealPlayer supposed to rebuff every 5 sec? The music isn\'t very Planeshifty either :rolleyes:  But its a pretty cool idea.

[Kiern]

Interesting idea, though I doubt I\'ll listen to it, I have enough music as it is.  I paticularly like the commercial thing, though they should have to be creative to get in...otherwise it would just be annoying.

How boring would that be?

[DepthBlade]

I listen to 5 seconds of it , switches to buffering, listen to another 5 seconds it goes and buffers again...Meh I am sure its not my computer because my lag factor is not even kicked in yet this early in the morning..

[dorbian]

No this time it is my mistake, my ISP made a mistake and putted my bussines account on a personall account.

now my backbone is the same as those of others ( which shouldn\'t be so i should have my own backbone )

but i guess in a day or 2 it should be fixed they are working their asses off to get it back to normall.

And well i still hope to get a decent server to host it on, that will reduce the buffering problem but i don\'t have such a huge salary anymore so i have to try to get some deals done.

But i will try to lay down on the planeshift playing the ragnarok hosting and the downloading and i think it will be managable.

The wide green and windy valley\'s wood,
the high dark ice veiled mountain
With the silent mystic castle walls
are now showing their lament
The sad magic dance of my white elves...
sing to mark the past of hero
Sing to cry his tragic destiny,
and to lead him on his way
(...)
On the golden throne of Irekan
she is fighting back her tears
Her sad future so without her king
will be too hard to endure
Now the valiant knights of twilight come all
from the farest midlands
\'cause the songs of jester reached their crown
and so now they come for him

yeah, PS radio without Planeshifty music... add some epic

[Jadd]

Well, some fan-art music would be good. Parodies anyone?

(melody: \"spiderman theme\" )

Seperot, Seperot,
nice and cuddly, he is not,
He don\'t spell, all to well,
got an army, straight from hell,
Look out!
Here comes the Seperot.

Wow, I think I\'ve found my call

I like the idea of a Planeshift Radio station..

Anarchy Online has something similar with Gridstream radio (http://www.gridstream.org) which has regular dj\'s and lots of new music.. Sometimes there\'s an in character interview with some of the roleplayers, and sometimes there are dev supported contests.. I remember a time not long ago where Anarchy\'s 3 year anniversary was hosted by Funcom at different bars throughout the online world, and Gridstream had djs covering the show all night, and hosted contests where you could win all sorts of nice stuff..

Would be cool to have something similar for planeshift once

[dorbian]

Cool but uhhh i aint that big yet, i still work on my crappy server with my ( thanks to my isp ) crappy internet connection ( i went down with 200% d/u that is ) so i can\'t really manage todo that.

but i am willing to make an hour of talking in it while i am logged in onto planeshift ( as soon as my ISP restored my inet connection ) which could make it fun.

I\'m also pretty far on the converense over the radio part, i think i can get my first converense in a few days, i only need someone as a victim, and well he should have skype because i can relay the voice to the radio from that.

But any input from you guys is greatly appreciated and if there are people that wanna stream, give me a PM or something likewise and i will contact you back with the details.

[FESFES]

Thats a cool idea!!
umm how long must I wait till I can listen?
and what about guild commercials \"Join the Militia NOW!!\"

It says server not responding

[Moogie]

Just a tip to reduce buffering: make sure you\'re broadcasting on a reasonable bitrate. 120 should be fine for everyone except those on dialup.

[acraig]

Ah, this is like a mix of all the stations I listen to already. A bit of heavy rock, some game tracks and comedy.  Placed in bookmarks.

[dorbian]

I have a little problem with my ISP but i will take the consideration to put it on a lower bitrate.

but if i\'m right the buffer problems should be solved by now my ISP put me back on my old backbone.

If the buffer problems still remain i will lower the bitrate of the stream, and mogura you are right, it does come in more handy for the dailup users.
