This is Radio Ernstiwan, the radio made by Ernst for Ernst (and whoever else might enjoy it). If you want to tune in you need a media player which is able to handle network streams: VLC, Winamp and many others do the job. If you want to do a stream yourself, then you need a software which is able to create an audio stream and direct it to an Icecast-server, because that is what the radio is running on. The most popular setup is to use your
butt, and in case you need to have more than one input channel (for example microphone and music) to use butt and
VoiceMeeter combined. With VoiceMeeter you can define multiple input channels and direct them into a virtual output channel, which butt recognizes.
For streaming you'll also need an account. Radio Ernstiwan has a public stream which everyone can use when it's not occupied. You can get the necessary connection data on Ernstchan. There are also personal accounts, which can be used by regular streamers to ensure that they can't be blocked by someone else. In case you want to get a personal account, write a mail to ernstiwan at protonmail.ch, our dedicated 24/7 radio helpdesk team will immediatly start working on your request!
Hints:
- It takes 15-17 minutes for your stream to show up in the stat module. This is to prevent short test streams to clutter the stat page
- If your client provides song artist and title it will be recorded in the history page. Since the information is collected every 2 minutes, any song shorter than 2 minutes might not show up
- If you include the word "teststream" in your stream name or description no new RSS feed / Discord notification will be created
Happy streaming!
