You should be able to remove “/definst”
Actually, I don’t see where it is mentioned in the Shoutcast section of the Quickstart guide. It would have limited usefulness in a Shoutcast application, and I don’t think it would ever be required.
Richard
Also, IPhone has specific configuration (and encoding) requirements. So testing on a rtsp device or player does not ensure that IPhone will work. See the guides, you have to add the “cupertinostreamingpacketizer” to the /Streams /LiveStreamPacketizers
There is a service you can use to virtual test different mobile devices:

Seems like the right steps, and I tested 554 on your site, which seems to be open, and you are using 1935 in your web page test anyway.
But you are doing something wrong, because I tested your shoutcast stream with a Wowza shoutcast application, and with a live app with .stream file
My first test is with the Wowza shoutcast example. Then I created a .stream file and tested with VLC version 1.05 (not 1.1). It works either way for me. But yours doesn’t work any of those ways.
Make sure the Application.xml is here:
/conf/live/Application.xml
Richard
You’re doing okay, keep testing, see what works.

This is what I see in my logs when I try to play that “Shoutcast” url:
ShoutCastDecoder.checkHeader[http://cheese.wavestreamer.com:3639]: ICY response: ICY 401 Service Unavailable
This is a shoutcast url I know works, try it out:
http://216.59.4.130:8024
Richard
Does it work in Flash, use Wowza Shoutcast player:
Server: rtmp://[wowsa-address]:1935/shoutcast
URL: radiostation.stream
Make sure radiostation.stream is not radiostation.stream.txt, and make sure the contents is plain text
Check the Wowza logs for a clue.
Make sure the Application.xml StreamType is “shoutcast”, and that is located below conf:
/conf/shoutcast/Application.xml
(I am assuming application name is shoutcast, but it can be anything, so substitute actual above)
Richard
Great, glad it’s working.
To your quesiton, you can use Stream Manager to start the stream:
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-use-stream-manager-in-wowza-media-server-3
In that case you can change the StreamType back to “live” annd use StreamManager to start radiostation.stream on your application with MediaCaster type “shoutcast”. You have to start the stream this if you want to playback in iOS and it is best to make the StreamType “live”
Richard
Well, you will find that is not working in iOS when all Flash players are closed. Review the Shoutcast tutorial, the “All Players” section: Use StreamType “live” and StreamManager to start the shoutcast stream for iOS playback.
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-re-stream-audio-from-shoutcast-icecast
Richard
You have to start the stream in StreamManager, see the tutorial for all the steps.

Hi,
you provide httpstream, how can i use it inside netstream with actionscript 2, i dont want to use rtmp connection.
bizkit1 do you know if this is happening on certain Nokia phones only or on all symbian devices? I think the support for rtsp is the same on all of them with RealPlayer.
hi guyz, i have a problem with the rtsp for mobile players
i testet the tutorial above and it works fine on the iphone but when i try with a nokia (symbian soft) i get disconnected and wowza says the following:

I have then set up the radiostation.stream as suggested and inside that is the direct URL of the ICY stream (AAC+) that I wish to play:
http://sharpflow.sharp-stream.com:8000/kiss100.aac
In addition to this I’ve gone into the stream manager (already set up for other uses) and started the “aactest” application with the stream type of shoutcast and the stream as radiostation.stream.
I have set up a webpage with a simple link to test android - HTC Magic - http://dev.sharp-stream.com/android.html which looks at:
rtsp://wowza01.sharp-stream.com/aactest/radiostation.stream

But no stream on the handset.
Can I confirm that:
The application config type should be - LIVE
The Stream Manager start type should be - Shoutcast
Any help is much appreciated.
Kind Regards
Maaad999 
Ok
After some playing about I’ve got it working on Flash and iPhone/Pad - does help when radiostation.stream is in the content and not config folder :o
However - its not playing ball on Android HTC Magic - any suggestions?
Ok
I now have android working - however it has to be on the providers network and not Wifi and using port 554 not 1935.
suggests my company router isnt allowing 554 inbound but also suggest the handset doesnt like 1935.
Ok - now this works all good and well i have a couple of questions as to how I can expand on this.
Currently I use the alias map system for all our flash streams which essentially does the same thing as the radiostation.stream file.
Can I use this method for live streams to Droid and iPhone ect providing I always start the stream using the streammanager on boot into the correct shoutcast method?
Hello Charlie,
In the tutorial above on page 1 it mentions:
Click the [start-receiving-stream] link just below the rtplive application folder.
My question is should the application that I started in stream manager be rtplive or shoutcast? I have it working with by clicking [start-receiving-stream] below shoutcast started in stream manager. However, I can’t get it to work starting the rtplive. If I do need to click [start-receiving-stream] rtplive in stream manager can you explain why?
Thanks,
Derrick
Thanks Richard
Hi all, i was following tutorial but for some reason I can not ger Soutcast to be “visible”. Any help?
I tried both Flash way and other players way. Lets assume the other players as i guess it is always on type of solution so: I created content file radiostation.stream with following content http://cheese.wavestreamer.com:3639 then I go to StreamManager and create new strem radiostation.stream with stream type shoutcast.
Thne i use VLC to open network stream: rtsp://myserver.com:1935/soutcas/radiostation.stream and im getting error saying can not play file not sound. Logs show connection open session cteted session unpublished and destroyed.
Any ideas what I have done wrong and how can i fix that? Thank you!
tnx for reply
I tried using http://216.59.4.130:8024 in radiostation.stream an reseting the stream in web interface but it did not help me 
i still can not hear my stream via VLC
I will post my configs and logs here
