Today SHOUTrds version 2.5 (build 253) has been released!

You can now use SHOUTrds with Twitter, OtsAV and SAM Broadcaster.
SHOUTcast 2.0 support was added and it can send RDS texts to MULTIPLE streams!
For the complete feature list check the homepage.

As we are in the progress of releasing SHOUTrds 2.5, we have made available our version 1 series, for those who want a cheaper copy of SHOUTrds with less features (for those who don't need a scheduler and all advanced stuff).

Check the Version 1 page here.

Currently I'm working arround the clock to get the 2.5 version of SHOUTrds ready.

In this version a few new features are added, bugfixes are done and changes are made.

New features

These are the most important new features:

+ Support for SHOUTcast 2.0 (beta).
+ Support for SAM Broadcaster.
+ RDS2Twitter to send RDS to Twitter.
+ MultiStream technology to stream to multiple streams.
+ A logfile for debugging.

Changes made

The Server Configuration is moved from the main form to an own dialog.
A dialog to show Server Status is added.
The scheduler no longer shows "* Is not a valid integer value" on sorting the items.
Textsender (the thing that sends the RDS) and Scheduler now have their own threads to prevent "hanging".
The options to send text to MSN and to read OtsDJ songinfo have been moved to an own dialog "More Options".
Sound, Graphics and Error Handling can be turned off inside the program (More Options dialog).

Today the website is updated!

Added "redirects" to the site so old hyperlinks to the old pages will remain "working".

Twitter

SHOUTrds has it's own Twitter account! It's tweets are shown on the brand new Twitter page!

Status on SHOUTrds 2.5

- SAM Broadcaster support is up-and-running!
- SHOUTcast 2.0 Beta 1 support is up-and-running!
In Beta 1 of SHOUTcast 2.0 the 7.html file is removed, this file is used by many radio stations to get their stream title (current-song) on the website. The SHOUTrds scripts also use this 7.html, we are working on a way to bypass the 7.html and use the index.html instead.

Keep you posted!

Currently SHOUTrds 2.5 is being developed!

Some new features include:

- SHOUTcast 2.0 (beta) support.
- The scheduler is being rewritten.
- SAM Broadcaster support.
- Logging for better support.

- Some (bug) fixes and improvements.

It's currently unkown when the new SHOUTrds 2.5 will be released.
