right, hello. Me and a mate are doing a radio station. Well he is. He has asked me to make a program that can play his station (which is just music) live, with other attachments like messaging and stuff. butt i don't know where to start on the live music player. Could anyone help me please.
p.s - Yeah, bit weird to ask this on a C++ site. but i want a nice GUI to go with this project.
well maybe not because my mate is already part of a site that does this as a free site they probably don't have the software and i think it would be possible. if you can sent information like text and everything why not music... please correct if i am wrong
So you want to stream audio data over the internet. You'll need to read up on networking, codecs, compression, and find a suitable API for playing it back. Your server will also need quite a bit of bandwidth depending on how many clients it's serving. I would think that a lot of that would be covered in the .NET framework already. You've got quite a bit of reading to do.
Yeah, I suggest that you get some readings about C#. Though they have the same letter, they work in different fashion. You also need a lot more than C# to get the job done. Most live stream radios broadcast over a host player that usually uses aspx. You can try looking for hosts, there are free ones but as expected, there would be some limitations.
