sc_nsv and sourcebackup

Viper · Post by **Viper** » Mon Jan 31, 2005 3:36 am

hello

it is possible to combine sc_nsv and sourcebackup?

so when my live source is offline (SourceMount=/live.nsv), that the sc_nsv streams a video (Sourcebackup=/live_back.nsv)

i already startet sc_nsv and he streams the local video from the server with live_back.nsv
but now, i cant login with my live source to stream at live.nsv

any suggestions ?
thx

You are free to try it but I cannot say with any certainty it will work as NSV is a container format. So glitching or even disconnection may occur. For the moment I have only tested the feature with mp3.

As far as not being able to use your original source, my first guess is that your original source mount and backup mount use the same password. The passwords must be different.

ok thx
how can i use different passwords for sourcemount and sourcebackup?
in steamcast.cfg i only have sourcpass and this is for both.
give me a tip pls

and yes, no i use the same PW for my live stream from my pc and for the sc_nsv source

and it works fine on redhat 9

should look something like this

SourceMount=/live.mp3
SourceBackup=/live_backup.mp3
SourceUser=Source
SourcePass=somepass1

SourceMount=/live_backup.mp3
SourceUser=Source
SourcePass=somepass2

of course I omitted the extra source configurations you can use so make sure you duplicate whatever is neccessary.

2nd source is not neccessary but i think its good to stream a "offline"-intro video when the live source sends no video files (live source is offline)

thx Jay, i will try a little and hope to find the right configuration

well you need to make sure you source both mounts.

hi,

is AutoDumpUsers for steamcast available?

and when i stream to my server, he writes: 1 Source (i think thats the normal sourcemount) and when i send a 2nd sourc, i have "source channel already in use"

how can i source the backup source?

with nsvcap.exe i only stream, i cant typ in for example live.nsv when my soursemount is called : sourcemount=/live.nsv

and sourcebackup=live_back.nsv ??

or i missunderstand this sourcebackup funktion.

to source the back up mount you would need to have a seperate instance of your source program connect to it via the correct credentials. It is not neccessary for the source to specify the mount name. Just make sure your passwords for the source and the backup are different. This is how Steamcast determines which source you are trying to broadcasting to.

hi,
when i write this syntax:

SourceMount=/live.nsv
SourcePass=pass

SourceBackup=/live_back.nsv
SourcePass=pass1

i only can stream with the pass1 , when i try to connect with the other source: Invalid login on source channel stream

well did you fill that out with more then just pass?

You will need a SourceUser as well and you also need to make sure you set SourceIsSC=Yes for each new mount.

my config is

Code: Select all

.
.
.
AutoDumpUsers=1
.
SourceIsSc=Yes
SourceMount=/live.nsv
SourceUser=Encoder
SourcePass=pw1

SourceIsSc=Yes
SourceBackup=/live_back.nsv
SourceUser=Encoder
SourcePass=pw2
.
.
.
SourceIsDefault=Yes
.
.

i stream the source from nsvcap.exe and the backup from nsvgui.exe.
Source with pw1, backup with pw2

put i only can stream when i use pw2 ,
