New page

== What is Nicecast? ==

Nicecast is a commercial Icecast Source Client for Mac OS X developed by Rogue Amoeba Software, LLC. One of it's special features is that it works with a lot of VST/Audio Unit plugins.
It can be obtained from the [https://www.rogueamoeba.com/nicecast/ official Website], which provides a limited Demo version (which inserts noise on all broadcasts longer than 60 minutes)
or the option to buy it.

== The first start and some notes ==

Nicecast is special, as it has a built-in Icecast Server, allowing for one-click Streaming. As we do not provide any support regarding this feature, this guide only covers how to Stream to a stand-alone Icecast Server. If you are running a standalone Icecast Server on the same machine you start Nicecast, it can happen that Nicecast will kill the stand-alone Icecast Server and you will need to restart it!

[[File:Nicecast Main Window.png|500px]]

=== Set the Audio Source ===
First you need to set the Audio Source, this is, where the audio comes from that should be streamed to Icecast. Click on ''Source'' to select it:

[[File:Nicecast_Source_Settings.png|500px]]

=== Set the Stream Information ===
Now we need to enter Stream Information, to do so click on ''Info'' to switch to the Stream Info Settings Panel.

[[File:Nicecast_Stream_Info.png|500px]]

Here is a brief description for what each field is:

* '''Name''': The name of your Stream, usually a short title of the program you are broadcasting. Note that this should not contain Metadata like currently playing Artist/Title.
* '''URL''': An URL where more information about the stream broadcasted can be found. This is '''not the URL of your Icecast Server or Stream URL'''!
* '''Genre''': The Genre of your Stream.
* '''AIM''': This field is actually not used by Icecast so you can just leave it empty.
* '''Description''': A short description of your stream/program.

=== Configuring the Icecast Server details ===
To configure the Icecast server details, click on ''Window'' > ''Show Server'':

[[File:Nicecast_Server_Menuitem.png|400px]]

It should show up a Window with Servers like the following:

[[File:Nicecast_Server_Window.png|500px]]

To create a new Server connection settings entry, click on the ''+'' Button, which should create a new List entry and select it:

[[File:Nicecast_New_Server_Window.png|500px]]

Let's go through the fields together:

* '''Name''': Can be nearly anything, this is just so that you remember what Icecast Server these Settings are for. (Useful if you have more than one Server)
* '''Server Type''': Select Icecast 2 here, as you are probably using Icecast 2.
* '''Account''': This is the Username you are using to login with a Source Client to Icecast, if you have not configured a specific mount username, this is usually <code>source</code>.
* '''Password''': The password for the mountpoint, or if none configured, the global source client password.
* '''Address''': The hostname where your server is running. (Not a URL, so this should '''not''' start with <code>http://</code>)
* '''Port''': The port where the server is listening, usually this is 8000, if not changed in the Icecast config.
* '''Mount Point''': This is the Mountpoint to which Nicecast will stream. This should start with a slash, i.e. <code>/coolstream.mp3</code>. (Do '''not''' set this to just <code>/</code>!
* '''Public URL''': This is the Public URL your Icecast Server is accessible. Usually it will guess the right thing, based on the hostname, so you should be able to leave it blank.
