Anyone in the Wausau area or nearby central area interested in setting up a live scanner feed? Free server space will be provided for anyone wishing to do so statewide so your bandwidth will be saved.

I had one up for a while. other than the 3 people I called by phone, I only picked up two listeners. I took it down for lack of interest.

Thats the bad thing about putting up a feed.
You have people saying they can't wait and thanks a lot,then you see the super low connection numbers after the 1st day.
Not worth wasting a scanner for something like that.

So very true.. WiFirefeeds partnership with WI Incident Alert and the Scan-Wis groups will get the word out there and spark interest particularly if an event or incident is posted. The grapevine connects to a lot of ears.. Splitech is now offering free hosting for anyone teaming up with WIFireFeeds on a live stream.. not a bad deal at all.

it was discussed right here in this very forum as I was testing it.wirr said:
Hiya All....
Generally, I don't add to posts nearly a year old..but I was wondering if the owner of this feed is reading these forums. I would be very interested if you wanted to try putting up the feed again. I like listening to scanners from around WI. I heard it when you were testing (I was probably one of the two "other" listeners you mentioned) and thought it sounded great.
Maybe give it a little more time to grow. Advertising certainly should help (Not just on this board). I could put up a link on my website (Wisconsin Scanning Homepage).

I concur.. We have several web pages and this forum for promotion so interest in the feed shouldn't be a problem. We can also get your stream pushed to the splitech server if you choose to be part of the wifirefeeds team. That is free and saves you the bandwidth usage, firewall & router setup hassles, and security issues with users having to connect to you instead of an outside server. Some of the feeds average 20-30 connections daily after they become known.

thread from the dead!
I'm going to give the stream another go, with newer hardware. I have most of the tutorials and software saved from the first box I built. one thing I'm missing is directions I used to get Windoze media encoder sending alpha tags to media player. if I start the stream again, I need to show the tags to someone who has WMP only, and cannot install winamp. I made it work once, but I'm stuck right now.
anyone have a pointer to a link or document that will refresh my grey matter on how to get media encoder streaming the tags through shoutcast/icecast?

I'm searching but coming up with nothing.

testing testing testing again.
if someone would like to try http://antigoscanner.homelinux.net:8001 with windoze media player only(so far) I believe I have it running again. I'll leave it up for a while for readers here to check in.

How about relaying this feed to us?

I'm still ironing out the kinks. -just fixed the media player link. it should work from outside my LAN now ;-)
once I finalize everything I'll probably make a permanent feed link through RR.

Putting a feed here on radioreference.com is super easy, only takes about a minute.,It's also a lot more dependable then windows media encoder.
