Streamerp2p let's anyone start a streaming radio station with no server required. Streamerp2p works by having listeners who are downloading the audio stream from the server simultaenously upload the stream to other listeners, who in turn upload it to even more listeners, forming a branching tree.
New listeners tag on the the outside edge of the tree, and because each one provides new upload capacity to the network there is no limit to their number. They also move around in the tree according to their upload bandwidth and listening time, and as others leave and join the network. High bandwidth and long-stay listeners tend to move closer to the broadcast source.
This all means you don't need an internet connection with a lot of bandwidth to broadcast to a huge number of listeners. A low bandwidth modem connection can work just fine. Higher bandwidth connections naturally increase the quality of the audio that is possible. It's almost-free broadcasting, for just the cost of a net connection.
What is new in this release:
- Changed the way Streamer detects if it is firewalled or on a LAN and thus needs a proxy. It is imperfect so check it to be sure it's set properly.. lock if necessary.
- Fixed the 'sending to port 0' bug that alarms some firewalls and security softwares.
- Fixed the in-stream listener count. This is the value that gets posted to the YP, so all your AHQ graphs should be correct now. Also, listeners on the same lan are no longer counted as listeners. Most of these 'listeners' were not really listeners but casters trying to artificially inflate their listener counts.
