The Server Window
Built-In Server
These settings control the server built-in to Nicecast, and pre-configured for easy use. To adjust the settings, you'll need to stop the server by clicking Stop.
Address: This setting adjusts what network interface Nicecast broadcasts over. For more information, see the FAQ tutorial. Usually, you'll want this set to the (Internet) option.
Port: Adjusts what port the stream is sent out through. The standard port for MP3 streams is 8000, but you can set this to anything, in case 8000 is in use. If you're running a firewall, be sure the port you select is open.
Maximum Listeners: This option limits the number of concurrent connections allowed to your server. Refer to the Broadcast window page for more information on this.
Require Password: This option allows you to set a username and password that listeners will need to use to connect to your stream. This will also prevent your stream from being listed on MacStreams.com.
Listeners (Built-In Only)
The Listeners tab displays information about your Current Listeners, if any, and a summary of all Listeners since the Broadcast was begun.
Console (Built-In Only)
The Console provides access to all the logs the internal server creates. The main log shown by default may be helpful in determining what has gone wrong when a server problem occurs.
