I made a little guide to setup a audio web stream with Breakaway Broadcast or Live, Shout or Ice-cast and Edcast (Client).
In this setup we do not use a soundcard, we use LiveLink instead.Tested on a Windows 2008 server (32bit) running on a single core pentium 4 CPU (2.6 GHz) with 1G of memory.
If BBP runs in Max. Quality mode, the CPU utilisation is about 70-80%. Winamp player was used for testing.
And it runs with NO clitches, plips, plops, dropouts or what ever!I took several threads from this forum, and put them together in a setup PDF.
The PDF has lots of screen shots to make it easy to find the several settings.I hope it benefits the 'new webcast users'.
Please leave any comments or tips in this thread.

I still got email-demands for this (little outdated) manual.
So here are my Dropbox file links:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76718268/Ots_and_midi_and_ipad.pdf

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76718268/Win7_OtsAv_Breakaway_Live_v1.1.pdfwhat about shoutcast? with the breakaway broadcast support that too? it’s pretty similar to icecast..i think
Shoutcast is very similar other than the lack of requirement of a stream mount point. Just replace all icecast references with shoutcast.
Bulk,
One comment, I don’t believe Livelink is needed when using it in your Winamp scenario. You just select Breakaway Pipeline 1 in the Output > DirectSound settings. You would also only need the DirectSound output plugin and not the Null Output one. I believe you benefit from a more direct music data transfer.
I am a BA Live user and some settings are a little different so please correct me if I’m wrong on this.
Thanks for the professional looking document!

Never tried that solution actually. Does that work, if you do not have a sound card in your machine?
I used Winamp only for testing the audio string.Will try it out.
Thanks for the compliment

I assume you talk about the Shoutcast server and not the Shoutcast DSP client?
It is the client, in this case Edcast, who make the connection to the IceCast or Shoutcast server, not Breakaway. So the answer is yes, it is supported.
You only need the IP address and port number for Shoutcast, mountpoints are not supported by Shoutcast.
Thanks for the PDF! My station now sounds better than it ever has! Give it a listen if you want:
Could someone post a similar guide setting up BreakAwayLive with Livelink and Station Playlist studio? I’ve tried using studio with BreakAway live, but find the sound doesn’t get enhanced. Want to know how windows playback and recording devices sould be set up, how things should be configured in StationPlaylist Studio from stationplaylist.com, etc.
Other than that, thanks for the great guide.

Can’t upload PDF’s, so i made a RAR file of the PDF.[/quote]Hello Captain Riker (StarTrek Fan 😀 ❓),
I don’t know if LiveLink is compatible with Station Playlist Studio (or vice versa).
Can you provide more information?
Which Windows version, sound card (or no card at all), what streaming software etc…..I will download the demo of SPS and try to get it work.
If anybody already tried this, please leave your comments/tips here.Look also at this thread (similar question):
http://www.claessonedwards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1508Just want to point out to anyone using this guide, which by the way is excellently written, that the edcast link has changed
it is now at http://code.google.com/p/edcast-reborn/
[quote author=”radiorio”]http://code.google.com/p/edcast-reborn/[/quote]
congrats. 🙂 google code is great, i’ve run a few projects on it in the past.the best advice i can give you to start out with is to change the link to your sourcecode page in the navigation to point to a wiki article instead… And then to copy the content from the normal source page, to that wiki article, but NOT the clone button.
If you have the clone button available on your sourcecode page, people (read: newbs who couldn’t code their way out of a paper bag) will spam it and make clones like crazy.
btw, this only applies for Mercurial, not SVN, so you’re OK for now. 😉 But it’s still a nice thing to do, cos then you can add all kinds of extra information on it.
Also another trick you can do when linking to the pages is to add tm=[tab_number] on the URL, like so:
http://code.google.com/p/edcast-reborn/ … gelog?tm=4
And it removes some of the internal navigation for that given section. That helps it look more like a real source/etc page.Cheers. 🙂

Thanks for the compliment 🙂Could someone help me with this. I’m a relative beginner, but I really wanna get this set up exactly as described in this guide.
I am running everything from a VPS running Windows 2003, so there’s no sound card. I am using a trial version of Breakaway Live, and OtsAV.
I installed all of the software as described in the guide, and moved the dll files around. The only difference I noticed was that the enc_aacplus.dll file was in the Winamp plugins folder, not the main Winamp folder, as described in the guide.
Anyway, everything went as described until I tried to configure the encoder in Edcast. It had no option for LAME MP3 under the encoder type setting. I have the enc_lame.dll installed in the winamp folder, and also the breakaway folder, but still no option to encode as MP3.
Very frustrating. Anyone?
I got my SAM Broadcaster work very easily with Breakaway but it sounds like it is clipping
so I checked cpu usage whith Breakaway running it is using 88% of the cpu cycle on a quad core AMD with 4 GB ramthis seems alittle excessive to have all four cores at 88% usage windows XP SP3 and Sam Broadcaster 4.9.4
