Jamcast

I got all pumped until I found out it don't work with Vista, then got a little promise when I read the forums about you releasing a new version with Vista support. Can't wait, and great idea!

Just got my system configured so that I can listen to Pandora through my Roku. Uh, Scott. You flippin rock dude. I followed your instructions and I got it running in about a 1/2 hour. I hope they are paying you well over there.
Thanks very much.

Hi! I want all the audio generated on one of my Windows machines to be played by another of my Windows machines, so I reckoned that Jamcast's virtual PC audio stream is exactly what I need.

I've set up Jamcast on the broadcasting computer, but I'm a bit confused about how I'm supposed to set up the client computer, the one that will be receiving the stream. I've tried pointing the browser to http://10.14.15.7:58641/vsc/stream where 10.14.15.7 is the local IP of the server machine running Jamcast, but it just times out. No firewalls are running.

Can I hook into the stream with Windows Media Player or something?

Cheers,
Jamie.

Thanks Scott. I've tried Winamp, but without success, and googling "winamp lmpc" doesn't turn up much.

If I could just listen to the stream via my browser, that would be great --- any idea why it's just timing out?

Cheers,
Jamie.

Hi Simon,

I have yes, and I have a preview build available for those who would like to take a look and help me iron out the kinks. PM me or email me if you'd like to have access to this build, and I'll make it so.

Thanks!

You're very welcome! Glad to hear I took care of that properly!

Hi,

I have an ACER laptop on Windows Vista and a Samsung LCD TV 40A756 which is DLNA compliant, linked together on my local network.

I insalled the Jamcast V 0.9.25 on my lptop and try to get my playlist (like deezer) on my TV

I can see and access to the "DLNA/My Music collection/Browse Playlist/Virtual Souncard" on my TV but when a try to playt it i have the message "Unknown File format".

Then i had a look on the medialog file (see below):
Do i missed something ? Is there a solution for this problem ?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi tt53,

No, you didn't miss anything -- according to your logfile, you're getting an error from Windows Vista when trying to initialize the audio capture. All I could find on this error code (0x88890017) is "AUDCLNT_E_CPUUSAGE_EXCEEDED" and no other explanations. At face value, it sounds like the CPU utilization on that PC of yours was too high to allow for successful audio capture.

Can you confirm this to be the case?

Thanks!

Hi

yes it does, when I posted here the playback clock has been running in nearly 40 minutes, So as you say there may be a config issue with my soundcard. btw I tried to just do a simple recording from my soundcard into Soundforge (sound editing program) and that worked out fine, so the loopback functions seem to work properly.

/David.

for just a couple a minutes ago I discovered that the virtual soundcard stream from jamcast picked up sounds from my webcam, but is now unplugged, the webcam a Microsoft Lifecam VX1000

the settings in soundforge is the same as in the soundcardmixer, I choose (in soundforge) playback device and recording device then i must open up the soundcardmixer and check wich source I wannna record from, ie, aux, mic, line in, stereo mix, telephone etc etc.

/David

PS AND NOW IT WORKS DUNNO WHAT I DID OR WHAT HAPPEND THE VIRTUAL SOUNDCARDS IS WORKING THX ALOT FOR YOUR PATIENCE !!!

HOOOORAY now shall my brother have jamcast on his computer.

thanx alot again.
