Starfire *UNLEASHED*!!
Pure Phonix News and Announcements Center
|
Good evening ladies and gents! 
Ok, so it's been a while since our last update, and alot of you may have noticed that Pure Phonix has been somewhat inactive lately. We've been letting things idle a bit because we have been busy beevering away in the background on some *MAJOR* system upgrades! Can't see them? No, you won't. The changes that are being made are largely back-end changes, and any transferes that have affected the front end have been by-and-large, seemless transitions.
So what has happened? Well, the real biggy is that, due to being valued customers of Dreamhost, Pure Phonix is now hosted on a spanky new Dreamhost Vitual Private Server (VPS) which we have personally named "Starfire"! What this means is that, as with all of Dreamhost's VPS customers, we now have shell access to the server and allows us to run server-side programs. Combined with no bandwidth cap and "unlimited" (as far as is physically possible) storage space that we were paying for anyway, we have finally been able to rig up our very own custom SHOUTast servers!
Before the switch, the shoutcast servers for Pure Phonix were managed by a company called "mouse-to-mouse". This limited us (as it was all we could afford - $24 per month) to the old 3 servers with around 20 listeners each, 5gig of storage (for the auto-dj), and a stream rate of 196kbps. Now we are paying just $10 per month for the VPS on Dreamhost, and what do we get for our cash? 1200 listeners *ACROSS* our servers (we can transfer listerner cap as we like, so we could have 3 servers with 300 listener cap, 5 servers with 200 listener cap, or 1 server with about 1200 listeners if we really want!), *UNLIMITED* storage for *BOTH* auto-DJ *AND* a new service we plan to provide - "On-Demand Content", and to top it all off we can stream our services at whatever-the-fuck bitrate we bloody well please!
So long story short, we are now able to have *COMPLETE* control at shell level over the servers. We can adjust settings to pretty much whatever we like on-the-fly, and it doesnt cost us any extra. In addition, we can make custom addons and enhancements for the servers because they are completly ours (although "stored", so-to-speak on our Dreamhost VPS). This has completley opened up all the doors for us, and allowed us to do things that we could only dream of with the old setup. Here is just a small teaser of some of the OMFGBBQH4X stuff we have planned for realease in the very near future:
- Pure Phonix Shoutcast Broadcaster Platform (SBP) - This is a brand new flash-based program currently in development by Pure Phonix. One of the major problems of the past with DJ's has been that there isn't one Broadcaster program that "has it all". SAM Broadcaster for example had a wealth of features, but lacked some of the usefull ones from Virtual DJ (and vice-versa). In addition, niether were free like the Winamp DSP plugin, but the DSP wasnt as fully featured as SAM or VDJ. The Pure Phonix SBP aims to give Pure Phonix DJ's a no-cost, installation-free, fully tailored interface to broadcast from. They wont even need to worry about server connection details anymore, as that will be handled and controled server-side!
 And yes before you ask - this *WILL* incorporate the long-awaited DJ Scheduling System!
- Pure Phonix Sonic Library (On-Demand Content) - A feature we have simply not had access to in the past, but which is intrinsically supported by the SHOUTcast server program. It essentially allows listeners to listen to specific mp3's stored in the Pure Phonix archives when *THEY* feel like it. We plan to make available... well, *EVERYTHING*! Auto-dj for both PPR and CGMR is obviously a given, but we also have the ability now to have the servers auto-record and save DJ broadcasts too! This means if you miss your favorite broadcast, you can catch up by paying the PP Sonic Library a little visit!
- 24-7 Broadcasting - Due to the new setup and soon-to-be-implamented scheduling system, we will now be able to broadcast 24-7! Any dead space between (human) DJ broadcasts will be filled by the 133.7 Pure Phonix Radio auto-DJ (which will be able to tap into the scheduling system so unlike in the past, the DJ's will NOT be constantly tripping over it!) which will pull files out of the Sonic Library, and provide spurious news and information broadcasts. This will mean you can tune in anytime, and there will be *SOMETHING* for you all to listen to!
- The Basement Radio release to the public - TBR has proven useful in our testing of various SHOUTcast-centric systems and has been a great way of introducing prospective DJ's to the SHOUTcast system. The server has however seen only sporadic usage over its lifetime, and given that we have the ability to throw up test servers as and when we want now (thus making TBH rather redundent), we decided to take the rather radical step of opening the server up and allowing *ANYONE* from the Pure Pwnage community the ability to have a go at DJing themselves! This will hopefully encourage the Pure Pwnage community to take a greater part in what is, after all, a Pure Pwnage Community project. Epic win for everyone really <333
- PP-CNC Official Supporters - For those who haven't already seen it, Ph0bia has created the Pure Pwnage Community News Center, and we at Pure Phonix are happy to announce that we will be (and have been) working closely with Ph0bia and his PP-CNC team, and will be broadcasting audio versions of their video podcasts on a regular basis once things get going.
- And Beyond - With the servers completly under our control now, who knows what hights we will take things to?? With all the untapped potential of the new systems still yet to be explored, and even talks of some crazy new ideas like webcam streaming capabilities for DJ's, the skies are really the limits for our humble little project!
So that's a fair overview of things. When is all this coming? Well, alot of it is alread nearing compleation, and the rest is well within our capabilities. End of June is looking like a rather promising target for the new Starfire system to go live (thats when the mouse-to-mouse servers expire anyway haha!) So yeh, some big stuff comin guys, stay tuned!
