Best streamer for Windows Server 2k8
I ran into a bit of an issue with my new stream. I set it up on my server, because that is running 24/7 and it doesn't have any system noises to worry about.. Figured that would be the best way to make sure it has maximum uptime. However I have noticed two things..
Scannercast can't (as far as I have found) be run properly as a service. If I run it via ServiceEx, the USB connection to the scanner fails and it doesn't provide alpha tags. It can only run correctly/automatically through the Startup menu so a user has to manually log on to resume the stream if the server reboots for any reason.
And it doesn't play nice with Remote Desktop.. It has to do with the way Server handles sound drivers through RDC. Scannercast will only see the USB sound card if I log on at the console. If I try to initiate the stream through RDC, Scannercast only lists "Primary Sound Card Capture (0)", and it errors out if I try to start broadcasting with that selected.
Another twist here is that if I log on at the console to start the stream and then later I log in the same user through RDC, it locks up Scannercast because of the sound card thing.
Can anyone suggest a better method with a different program that can be run as a service (so that it starts without a user login, like SMB/NFS) and also can be administrated through remote desktop? I don't want to use a dedicated machine as of yet so whatever you suggest has to run on Server 2k8 (32bit), but I am seriously considering a Raspberry Pi in the future.

For Remote Desktop... before you make the connection to the server, click the Options button. Then on the Local Resources tab, there should be options for sound. If you leave the sound at the remote computer, and also do not record sound, that should be (in theory) just like you were sitting at the server as far as the sound goes.
I can't say I've tried this specifically, but thought I'd point out this setting in case you weren't aware.

Thanks for the suggestion but I did try that.. if the sound is left at the server, then you don't see ANY sound devices in an RDC.

I can't speak to scannercast working as a service in 2K8, but I had the same issue with sound and RDP on WHS2011.
To get around the RDP sound issue I remote admin my WHS2011 with the free version of TeamViewer ( TeamViewer - Free Remote Control, Remote Access & Online Meetings ) Not only does this get me around the windows RDP sound problems I was having, if the server hiccups for any reason, I can use the Teamviewer app on my phone to login to the server.
I hope that helps some. |

interesting.. does that run as a service? ie: will it be available when the server first boots before anyone logs in like RDC is? If someone needs to log in before it'll work, its not much use to me though...

Or another popular RDP replacement is VNC... There are a variety of VNC clients for numerous platforms, and servers that run as a service. VNC works as if you're sitting at the system itself, with only keyboard, video, and mouse redirected (at least the last time I used it this was the case).

Yes it is available as a service. There have been a few times where the server has done a restart (e.g. Automatic patching) or I've done a restart remotely and I'm able to connect to the server via TeamViewer and login as if I were at the server. My server is run headless by the way.
To speak to VNC, I tried vnc in various forms and I've found it to be entirely to slow even on my internal gig network. That is one of the main reasons I went with TeamViewer, the other being that I can remote into my server(s) from my adroid if needed. |

I've attempted to install the free TeamViewer on Windows Server 2008 and it would not permit it being a server OS. I guess that doesn't apply to WHS.
VNC is somewhat of a decent replacement for RDP but the screen refresh quality never matches what RDP can do. It gets around the sound issues though and was what I used.
Just about any application can be made to run as a service whether it's done with Windows NT Resource Kit or through Task Scheduler. The only issue is you have no UI to control. If you want full UI control then you have to have an account that logs in (and runs the app) like a local user.

Hmm interesting.. I could see a check like that allowing WHS because it is basically just Vista with a few extra features. It's not a true server OS.

Good to know.

Yeah I use ServiceEx for things like that.. The problem isn't getting the program to run, the problem I'm having is with the USB interface to the scanner for the Alpha tags. Sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't. When it does start, it crashes after an hour or so and won't come back unless the server is restarted. I don't have that issue when Scannercast is run as a user program, just when its done as an automatic service.. I don't think its the fact that it's USB has to do with it, because the audio feeds through an old SoundBlaster USB and that works flawlessly. Havent had any audio problems, just the stupid alpha tags won't stay working..

I'm not familiar with ServiceEx but can it install the service as "Automatic (Delayed Start)"?

Doesn't look like it, only options in the ini file are Auto, Manual, and Disabled..

I just realized that SC creates logs.. Maybe this will help y'all nail down the cause? It looks like the connection starts fine then eventually errors out and crashes. It will not come back by simply stopping and restarting the service, the server needs to be rebooted otherwise I get a popup that says Scannercast was denied access to COM3 (which is the correct port).

I would try running your logs past the SC programmer. I don't have the experience to understand the debug messages but maybe there's an improper call to the com port or the com port is being put in to a state the OS cannot (or is not told to properly) return from.

KD0TAZ,
I didn't chime in before but now I see you're spending time trying to get something to work. If you want, you can check out my RadioFeed program which is rock solid. It doesn't run as a Windows Server but will automatically start when the computer boots without logging in. Create a shortcut in the start up folder and check the the RadioFeed option "Start Up - Source Client & Web Server Use Last State When Program Closed".

If it doesn't run as a service, it wont run before login. Putting it into the Startup menu makes it run when a user logs on. 
But thanks, I'll try it out tomorrow and see if I can make it work.. 
Question though.. if the RadioFeed program is running on the server, can I use ProScan on say, a laptop on the network to control the scanner? Or is it like Win500 where ProScan would need to be running on the server (which would force me to drop the feeder) in remote mode in order to allow control?

RadioFeed doesn't have remote control however ProScan can stream to an IceCast server and the Web Server can be activate at the same time for remote control using a internet browser.
server like Radiofeed |

Ok it's a PRO-197, and yes the COM port shows up in Device Manager (COM13) - even after it has crashed.. I even changed the port number because it had originally grabbed COM3, which has a legacy IRQ conflict with COM1 (which is in use for the external dialup modem on the physical serial port). Even though those kind of conflicts haven't meant much since the DOS days, I figured it wouldn't hurt to rule out anyway.
The problem I'm having now isn't GETTING it to work - because unlike Scannercast the scanner data link does start properly every time with RadioFeed.. The problem now is KEEPING it working. As I said, it works fine for a couple hours and then something crashes the COM port - to the point that simply restarting the program (or even unplugging/replugging the USB dongle) doesn't fix it, because the port becomes inaccessible. I need to shut down and restart the server in order to regain access to the port. I've tried it in multiple USB ports, and I've even gone and changed the power policy to make sure that there wasn't some obscure power management setting shutting down the USB port. What makes me think it's a driver issue is that the audio inputs through a USB sound card (an old pre-Audigy SoundBlaster USB), and that has never even so much as hiccupped.
I don't see any error logging options in RadioFeed, but considering I was having the same issue with Scannercast, maybe those logs I posted above might help you point me to the problem?
This looks odd because it is running as a service through ServiceEx.. The GUI doesn't pop up on a user desktop, it comes up in this 'purgatory', which is basically the "system desktop". There are several other programs - including one that utilizes the external modem - that run just fine this way, so I'm reasonably convinced that it is not causing the issue.
