How To Achieve Multiple Feed Distribution On Broadcastify

[enduser56]

Ok, I've provided simple analog feeds for years to Broadcastify but have recently acquired a BCD996T that picks up several analog/digital channels/TGID's in my area. Can someone point me to the documentation or help guide that will show me as a broadcaster how to list these channels/groups as individual selections on the HTML5 player?
Thanks!

I don't think it's possible to select channels/groups individually on a Broadcastify player, even the HTML5 player.

You might consider putting up a stereo feed; however, this will require two scanners. For example, one side would have analog and the other side would have digital.

Both of my feeds mix analog and digital. I don't run stereo feeds.

Multiple Feed Distribution

Hi Glenn!

I'd read about those stereo feeds somewhere along the way and that may be my solution. Attached is a screen shot of a Broadcastify feed though where you can scroll thru a drop down of several agencys. That's what I'm trying to reproduce from my end. Thanks again for prompt reply and I'll dig around some more. The answer is probably right under my nose as usually is my case

..you know, the more I think about this, it appears these are instances of multiple feed providers all located in the same county and Broadcastify has simply grouped them under one player or feed group, if that makes sense. I had it my mind that the feeds were all coming from a single radio scanner which is probably not the case. So, given that, if I had multiple scanners providing unique feeds then Broadcastify would logically group them under one local or county header. If that's the case then I answered my own question. Thanks for your feedback though, Glenn!

You have answered your own question, Broadcastify/Radio Reference lists all feeds for that county/city in one list but they come from various scanners. Recently I ran two feeds (one temporary for State Fair) and it was listed as two separate listings in the one county.

The left/right channel would also require two separate scanners. I actually used a USB sound card adapter on my computer

It costs about $8 and works great. This also required two scanners.

Dale, happy to help!

I use this USB sound card adapter for my feeds, one on the left and one on the right, feeding into RadioFeed:

It does a fabulous job. In my case, the Sabrent USB sound card adapter didn't work well (too noisy), but I may have gotten a bad one.

N1GAW, thanks for helpful info! I see you're in Raleigh.. I grew up in Boone...

Thanks, Glenn! Appreciate the feedback from you and everyone else here. I'm also trying to find Broadcastify feeds where the alpha tags are displayed. I guess you canonly see them on Winamp? And another project project I have in mind is porting my audio and virtual video of the scanner display from Freescan to a personal webpage so you actually see the freqs and talk IDs off the scanner. I used to do this some years ago using Windows Media Encoder. Maybe that would still work but I suspect there are better applications to do the job, Flash being one of them if I could figure out how to build it all into a webpage again. My brain gets tired a lot quicker the older I get.. ha!

Use the Radiofeed Web Server it will do what you did with WME back in the day. To find out what feeds use alpha-tags on broadcastify go to the counties feed page and look for the alpha tag icon on the left next to the feed. Screen shot attached.

Again, thanks for info on the Radio Feed Web server and the alpha tag icon.. much appreciated. I have a lot of catching up to do!

 

[flythunderbird]

Dale, VLC Media Player will also display the alpha tags.
