Nicecast now includes two technologies to help with this problem by automatically communicating with your router and asking it to send listeners to the right place. One of the most important new features in Nicecast 1.8 is NAT Traversal, which takes care of this annoying issue.
By default, any NAT device will prevent remote computers from connecting to anything on your local network, meaning that listeners can’t get to your broadcast without reconfiguring your router. Home routers are a big problem for anybody running a server such as Nicecast. This brings up options which were previously available only by option-clicking the Start Broadcast button. Speaking of the Source drawer, there’s a new button for both hijacking and audio input called Advanced. You’ll find this in the Source drawer along with the standard application and audio input sources. Using this source, you can capture and broadcast all sound generated by every program running on your computer without doing any extra setup.
Nicecast now offers the System Audio input source as seen in Audio Hijack Pro.
ICECAST LOCAL NETWORK NAT MAC OS X
Unfortunately, bizarre technical limitations of OS X limit this feature’s availablity to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Nicecast will now serve a robots.txt with a blanket deny statement inside it, which will make all properly-designed search spiders ignore your stream, as they should. This doesn’t do anyone any good at all, as they get unusable data and you get wasted bandwidth. Certain internet search engines have the bad habit of finding links to your stream and then trying to index them for their databases.
