Updated edcast

I’ve been asked by two separate people that use a Breakaway product if it’s possible to have "multiple audio source" – edcast DSP does support this in a sense

In the advanced tab for the encoder setup, there is a checkbox "Always Record from DSP"

What this means is, you can setup the edcast_dsp Live Recording device AND ENABLE IT – but any encoders with the above checkbox ticked will still source the stream from the DSP data (i.e. Breakaway)

Of course, if you are using edcast to switch between mic and music, the above wont be of any use to you

By the way, after all this time on this forum, I finally checked out Breakaway – I’m seriously impressed at how flexible and easy it is to use – at least, Breakaway Live – haven’t looked at the other products, but I’m sure they’re just as impressive.

edit: I’d love to write an edcast that has the same look and feel as Breakaway, and maybe (somehow) is more tightly integrated with it …. goes off pondering …

Leif already has excellent streaming facilities in his new framework, so at least wait to see how that works out. 8)

v4 will cost your first born child

so far, v4 has cost me many a sleepless night 😉

edcast_dsp will look for config in the following folders

(Windows Vista/7)
1 – current folder where dsp_edcast.dll is
2 – parent folder of the above if the last folder in the path is plugins

appName is the last folder in 1) or 2) if 1) is plugins

3 – /Users/username/AppData/Roaming/appName/Plugins/dsp_edcast/ *
4 – /Users/username/AppData/Roaming/appName/Plugins/ *
5 – /Users/username/AppData/Roaming/appName/dsp_edcast/
6 – /Users/username/AppData/Roaming/appName/
7 – /Users/username/AppData/Local/appName/Plugins/dsp_edcast/ *
8 – /Users/username/AppData/Local/appName/Plugins/ *
9 – /Users/username/AppData/Local/appName/dsp_edcast/
10 – /Users/username/AppData/Local/appName/
11 – /ProgramData/appName/

(windows XP)
1 – current folder where dsp_edcast.dll is
2 – parent folder of the above if the last folder in the path is plugins

appName is the last folder in 1) or 2) if 1) is plugins

3 – /Documents And Settings/username/Application Data/appName/Plugins/dsp_edcast/ *
4 – /Documents And Settings/username/Application Data/appName/Plugins/ *
5 – /Documents And Settings/username/Application Data/appName/dsp_edcast/
6 – /Documents And Settings/username/Application Data/appName/
7 – /Documents And Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/appName/Plugins/dsp_edcast/ *
8 – /Documents And Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Datal/appName/Plugins/ *
9 – /Documents And Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/appName/dsp_edcast/
10 – /Documents And Settings/username/Local Settings/Application Data/appName/
11 – /Documents And Settings/All Users/Application Data/appName/

* – plugins subfolders are only considered if the dsp_edcast.dll is in a folder named Plugins

The first folder from above that is writeable and contains dsp_edcast_v3_0.cfg is selected
Failing that, the first writeable folder is selected, and a new dsp_edcast_v3_0.cfg is created

Failing the above, it wont write configs

I can’t find any .cfg of Edcast… 🙁

In your case, rdr, it will search
1 – current folder where dsp_edcast.dll is … appName is the last folder in the path
2 – /Users/username/AppData/Roaming/appName/dsp_edcast/
3 – /Users/username/AppData/Roaming/appName/
4 – /Users/username/AppData/Local/appName/dsp_edcast/
5 – /Users/username/AppData/Local/appName/
6 – /ProgramData/appName/

where appName is the name of the Breakaway install folder – can’t recall, do Breakaway products install in

/program files/abc/def/

or

/program files/abc/

Also, do breakaway products create any /Users/username/appData/Local or /Users/username/appData/Roaming folders?

Ots, with all of its audio processing off, outputting into a pipeline.
Breakaway, inputting from that same pipeline, with EdCast loaded into the "Encoders" section (plugin version ofc).

If you use the standalone version, you would have to output from Breakaway into another pipeline and then into Edcast, which is adding another few links in the chain to break (the audio driver connections). You’ll also benefit from Breakaway having much better resolution for its internal sample rate than the current Pipelines do. Leif passed along the way to do much more accurate timing to Eugene Muzychenko, the guy that makes Virtual Audio Cable (aka VAC) which is what the Pipeline essentially is a licensed copy of. But you would still be adding more links in the chain to potentially fail.

Nothing has changed in edcast in this regard. Edcast uses the audio it gets, it can’t use the audio it would’ve got if you hadn’t changed the volume somewhere else

Have someone suceeded in sending metadata from txt file to shoutcast v2 ? with the latest edcast?
I can send over icecast&shoutcast 1.9 version fine but version 2 wont work.. At least does anyone know how to send metadata from text file to new shoutcast ?

Thanks in advance
