nsradio revival

DrummerDrummer Join Date: 2004-02-18 Member: 26654Members
ok, so theres a distinct possibility of nsradio relaunching. im not confirming anything at this point, im just trying to alert people and possibly look for some help. as it stands right now, we need a shoutcast server. but looking into aacPlus, our requirements would be much easier to meet. with a 30 person server running aacPlus at 32kbps (near cd quality), the total bandwidth needed would only be 120 KB/s. which compared to a server running mp3 at 96kbps (similar, if not lower quality) would be 360 KB/s. so anyone with an interest in seeing nsradio return, lets hear it! and anyone that could possibly help with hosting, lets hear that too!

time to rock! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/marine.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::marine::" border="0" alt="marine.gif" />

    Happy to hear you are trying to bring it back. Sadly my webhost wont allow streaming radio or the such else I would give it up to ye. If you need any other help (like hosting), that I can help with! I have nearly 2.5TB of bandwidth and use less than 50 gigs a month right now <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

    Yea, its been kind of a slow process, but hopefully we can get 'er back on. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Jmms, who was casting, do you remember? I should have some of the old casts. Shoot, I even have the Dystopia casts we did.

    And microwave me? What am I, the subject of some stupid dead baby joke?

    This is great news, even if it's not confirmed yet. I'd love to see (er, hear) NSRadio alive and kicking once again.

    Don't worry about it. I'm sick and tired of eDrama, almost as sick and tired of those mofo snakes on the mofo plane.

    Drummer,

    How about a radio feed that includes more games than just NS? Wozer, myself and a few others have been working on NSAGames site and in the near future we plan on setting up a shoutcast server for promotion.
    Here is what we had in mind.
    F: Audio - Promotion, radio podcasting and special event support.
    1) DJ radio stream
    2) Tournament simulcasts
    3) Interviews
    4) Ads for our game servers and downloads
    5) User submitted content

    People I am in contact with in the NSAGames community would like to help and keep asking when its going to happen. Its a matter of resources right now we are working on switching servers from theplanet to more cost effective ones. I would be willing to invest in this endeavor if we could work together. I wouldnt be like Depot. It would be totally under someone else's creative control as long as it pimped our site and services as well as games we like to play (including NS).

    PM me if I can help.

    I don't really know who casted it, but it was around March of '06

    What are your system and hosting requirements, and would you be okay with European hosting?

    I <b>want</b> back in.
  • DrummerDrummer Join Date: 2004-02-18 Member: 26654Members
    i know i casted the s8 playoffs, but the person who produced it would have the copy, im workin on tracking them down. and euro hosting would be fine for something like shoutcast. im looking at a 50-100 slot server at 32kbps. thats 200-400 KB/s of bandwidth. the system requirements are pretty low, it can be a crappy machine as long as it has the bandwidth.
  • DrummerDrummer Join Date: 2004-02-18 Member: 26654Members
    ok, so it looks like we have a host, once its confirmed and i can log onto the stream we can start the party <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    i have most all CAL recordings from the last 3 or 4 seasons, all the different shows we had CCCBP, etc. also all backups of the site.
  • TheDestroyerTheDestroyer Tooobah Join Date: 2003-07-12 Member: 18123Members, Constellation
    UC... get that over to me.

    Ah, the CCBP...that was great to listen to.

    in this intermediate time where we dont have our site finished and we dont have a bot, you can head over to <a href="http://www.teamgg.org/drummer/nsr/" target="_blank">http://www.teamgg.org/drummer/nsr/</a> whenever my little bot is on and tune in, make requests, and chat with us in irc. the stream is aacPlus, which works with winamp and vlc, but requires a plugin to work with WMP cause microsoft is lazy. its a great codec for streaming and if the majority of listeners dont have issues with it, we'll prolly be using it full time. so stop by, tune in, chat with us, have fun <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
