Icecast Streaming Media Server

[gee2803]

Hello karl,

I have several mountpoints in my config and want to achieve that if a user requests a mount that is not listed that this one will get a specific one instead.

Example:

/mount1
/mount2
/mount3

User requests /notconfigured and gets /mount1

I tried using a wildcard in mount like

wildcards in the main release does not work, but I believe a "default" case was added after 2.3.3. There is wildcard mount support is in the KH build, but neither trees have wildcard handling in alias.

In the post 2.3.3 code you would have something like you have defined with a fallback but you would use 'default' as the mount name IIRC. With the KH tree the /* would match the request triggering a fallback to /mount1.

I am using your latest 2.3.3-kh10 branch. I tried mountpoint "/*" with fallback on /mount1, but that crashed the whole system. Blank page, all streams broke up.

Do you mean "/default" would work? What about htaccess in webroot? Does the "icecast webserver" work somehow in that way?

I just want to forward everything, that is not configured to a specific mountpoint.

Your first statement is a very strange, even an icecast crash should not crash the whole system but I suppose if there are driver bugs then it can. Not sure what you mean by a blank page and streams broken up, needs expanding on really.

The default reference was for the post 2.3.3 code not the KH tree, wildcard mount support is in the KH tree. Those mountpoint applies to web root file including /*, ie everything.

I ment the whole system as the icecast server. The server does not do anything else than streaming with icecast. So all listeners disconnected, the config needed to be reset to previous and icecast to restart. So with 6 mountpoints the wildard mountpoint with fallback made all listeners disconnect.

Sorry for writing this in wrong words...

[karlH]

listener disconnection is not a crash, a crash is when the icecast application terminates abruptly. Usually though mass listener disconnection is either down to them disconnecting (say codec error) rare, or more likely a queue length issue. Obviously the error log would tell you more on this.

Could you please tell me which way would be the correct configured one to lead all listeners that use a not configured mountpoint to a configured one?

[karlH]

I would of thought the mount that was given previously (using /*) would of sufficed, you may want to add other mount blocks to match requests that you do not want to go to the default like /*.xsl and /*jpg etc (they only need to be define really, nothing in them as such). Obviously the specifics are hard to guess at.
