Try now.

There's something strange going on with the sound card on the recording PC. It keeps switching from the Line in to the Mic input. I'll keep an eye on it.

Hi Dtribe.

Welcome to WARSUG.

It looks like the server that mirrors the stream for us is offline. I've emailed the owner and I'm sure he'll get it going again soon :)

I haven't heard anything yet, so I've switched the stream back to the source server. It's got a lower capacity but it'll work until the mirror comes back :)

Hi Folks.

We had a power outage this morning and although the server has come back online, the stream appears to have no audio. I'll take a look this evening :)

Everything's fixed now. Was able to restart Winamp via VNC.

Enjoy! :mrgreen:

(For technical folk: It's impossible to connect to the console of a Windows 2008 server using Remote Desktop, and Winamp has to run on the console to have access to the sound card. VNC server, however, will happily run on the console)

On W2K8, Winamp tries to connect (and can only see) the virtual Remote Desktop sound card. <shrug>

mstsc /v:host /console should do the trick :D

/console is deprecated. it's been changed to /admin since Vista SP1 and XP SP3
