Since I didn't got enough time to investigate the HF Radio, I wonder what is the quality of the songs streamed. All CD qualities? I mean true CD Quality songs streamed at low bitrates OR is it the versions the forum members have which are being streamed by the DJ forum member?

Also it would be nice if it can be known which songs are going to be streamed next day(giving enough time to plan).

Any member can be a DJ and can stream. If the DJ streams at 96/128, the listeners get a CDQ, if they stream at 20kbps the listeners get radio quality. Generally 96kbps rules here.

DJs please refer to the first post of the thread for the updated How to become a DJ Section. Refer to point no. 6 and 7.

Stream using acc+ encoder for the benefit of all the listeners.

Pradeep, how do I play winamp?
I threw out real player as it was always popping up as the default streamer and now winamp does not play.
I noticed that even after making winamp the default player for all file types it does not play on double clicking a file. U have to open the file to play. Is that the case with everyone?

maheshks

Nov 1 2005, 12:41 PM

It should not happen. Try re-installing the winamp.

Pradeep

QUOTE(priya @ Nov 1 2005, 12:35 PM)

Priya, there was no need to throw real player out. What will you do if you have to play a real file - rm, ram etc.? For a file to be played as default on double click on winamp you will have associate the extension, .mp3 with winamp. To do that:

1. Launch winamp.
2. Press Ctrl + P
3. Click on File Types under General Preferences.
4. Click and select all the file types that you want to associate with winamp.
5. Click on close.
6. Close winamp.
7. Go to any mp3 file and double click to test.

If you are installing real player again to play the real files. Then do the same steps again to associate mp3 files with the winamp.

Priya

Nov 1 2005, 01:28 PM

Well now I have thrown it out and I cannot dl again. No free dl available.

But this winamp thing not working for me. Just now tried listening to U. It buffered for several secs and then played one nanoseocond of Ur song and then conked. Earlier when Sani wa splaying I could hear a bit tho it rebuffered every alternate sec.
Another day when hits played and I was listening on real player I could listen throughout without any rebuffering at all.
What could be wrong?

Pradeep

Nov 1 2005, 01:35 PM

At 24kbps also you cannot listen? At what rate do you connect to your ISP? Try disconnecting and reconnecting to your ISP. And while listening to Radio don't download or upload.

I hope you are using the latest winamp 5.11? Any version above 5.08 would work.

Download free real player from here: http://forms.real.com/netzip/intl/intl_get...type=rp10_en_ap

Priya

Nov 1 2005, 02:12 PM

I dunno at what rate I connect to my isp. It says 115 kbps.
Dunno if it is right or wrong.
I can listen but it breaks off. However last time I heard hits at an odd hr of the night India time it did not break at all. That was real player. This goes on rebuffering and sometimes just stops.
Haan latest player hi hai. Kal hi dl kiya.

Pradeep

Nov 1 2005, 02:21 PM

How can it be 115 kbps? or is it 11.5 kbps?

Try in the night time.

Priya

Nov 1 2005, 02:43 PM

Mere ko yeh sab nahin maloom. Me bad at maths.
Well 115,200 bps.
Why should night make a difference when each phone has an indiv data cable? Or does it have to do with the load on the reliance server?

Pradeep

Nov 1 2005, 03:05 PM

Something wrong with the configuration then. Ideally if you connect at 112.5 kbps, you should be able to download at max of 14kbps. I remember you were saying your download rate is 4 kbps. I guess you call those reliance guys and ask them give to give you a huge discount if they are unable to give what they claim. If you sit quiet they gonna make mince meat out of you.

Priya

Nov 1 2005, 04:58 PM

No no I dl at 8 kbs Pradeep. 4 was the maximum I got on bsnl.
Ispar 14 to kabhi nahin mila. Maximum is always 9.
But they do not claim that na. They tell U that 115 is just a figure and U will not always get that speed.

Cunning creatures. But altogether their service is far better than bsnl. Wahan to even if Ur phone conks no one gives a damn.

This slimy worm crawled out from under some fungus-infested stone and occupied the DJ spot and streamed silence, just to prevent a scheduled broadcast.

Hi Pradeep

I presume the url for listening to HF Radio has also changed with shange in server.
It used to be "http://66.98.199.117".

Please let me know the new address.

TIA

Yeh hain shayad Shivani. Is what my winamp shows

Priya

Feb 8 2006, 05:09 PM

Yeh kaise numbers hain???

I just add the hf url.

shivani

Feb 8 2006, 05:24 PM

That is IP address of the server where hf radio server is Priya.
( I wont attempt to explain more. maybe Pradeep.. Jay .. or some other kind soul)

Priya

Feb 8 2006, 05:41 PM

Why U wanna know that? How it helps?

shivani

Feb 8 2006, 05:46 PM

For some bizzare reason, I am not able to connect to the server on default port.
And when I try to connect using the IP address,I am able to connect.
Did not read to find more on why I am facing this problem. (sloth!)
One issue could be the port number. Maybe it is disabled on my computer.

But how and why should that make a difference!! It's the same server.
Sigh!

PS: I know next Q is going to be about port numbers.. read here

Feb 8 2006, 05:53 PM

Na. Me sloth too. It suffices that Ur comp is as odd as U.

Feb 8 2006, 05:53 PM

And Pradeep.. the IP posted by Teejs doesnt work as well.

Feb 8 2006, 06:35 PM

I'm able to tune in with the old url www.hamaraforums.com:8000 default setting. So, guess there is no change.

maheshks

Feb 8 2006, 08:19 PM

I also donot find any change. It is perfectly OK.

unni

Feb 8 2006, 08:46 PM

I guess HF Radio accesses Comcast's server, and not the server on which HF resides. So, for the radio, the same url would be applicable, I suppose.

Nimii

Feb 8 2006, 09:09 PM

Me has no probs.. I am using the same ol' url

Hamara Forums Radio

As most of you all know that HF Radio has been installed on Hamara Forums. HF Radio is available on the index page of the board, placed way down below Board Statistics.

Listening to Hamara Forums Radio

You can tune into the stream with winamp player. As the stream is ACCPLUS encoded, only winamp player above 5.08 versions are supported. Using winamp I was able to successfully tune into the stream from behind firewall at the office and at home.

Download the full winamp for free from http://www.winamp.com/player/free.php After you have downloaded and installed latest version of Winamp. The following steps were contributed by Azgar Khan (thanks Azgar)

Open Winamp Player
Click on File
Click on Play URL
Type http://www.hamaraforums.com:8000 . (If you are behind a firewall, type http://radio.hamaraforums.com:80 )
Click on Open

HF Radio Schedules

Here is a thread dedicated to book a scheduled program on HF Radio. The thread is updated daily with all the upcoming and changed events.

How to become a DJ?

You can also become a DJ on Hamara Forums Radio. Only one DJ can play a time. To become a DJ, ensure that you have the latest winamp player installed.

Launch Winamp
Press Ctrl + P or from the menu select Options -> Preferences
From the listing on the left, select DSP/Effect
Select Nullsoft SHOUTcast Source DSP v1.9.0 . If this is not listed, you need to install this plugin. The plugin is available at http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/shoutca...9-0-windows.exe. Download this file and install it.
In the opened dialog SHOUTcast Source
Click on Encoder tab.
Select ACC+ Encoder from the Encoder Type select box. The Current bitrate will be set to 48kbps. If you need to change it, click on the button, Encoder Settings.
Click on Output tab, enter hamaraforums.com in the Address, 8000 in the Port. Get the password from the admins and enter that password in the Password text box.
Click on Yellowpages button and check Make this server public, enter your name or a friendly DJ Name in the Description, http://www.hamaraforums.com in the URL textbox and Bollywood in Genre.
Click on Connect button on the top. Now you should be able to connect if everything goes correct. If some other DJ is connected, you will not be able to connect to the server.
Once you are connected to the server, simply select the files in the winamp and play it.

The songs that you play will be streamed to the server and listeners connected to the server will be able to listen to your stream.

Mix your voice in the songs you play

Attach the microphone in the mic socket of the sound card.
Click the input tab in the SHOUTcast Source.
Select Soundcard Input from the Input Device.
The Soundcard Mixer will be shown below.
Click and hold the button Push to Talk and speak into the microphone. You will see the music volume will automatically go down. After you are through with all the talks, release the button.
Select back Winamp from the Input Device select box for the rest of the song to proceed with 100% quality and volume.

Feel free to raise any questions you may have.

Harihar ji there are no restrictions as such... you'd need a password, for which you need to PM one of the Admins. Just follow the HF Radio rules that appear at the top of this page itself and you're all set.
