Hi,

We have a darkice server streaming the same source to an icecast server with multiple bitrate (128, 64, 24).

We would like to stream only 24k to some part of Internet. the choice is made from a network appliance, forwarding the client request to a specific port or IP.

As the listen and port parameters are global to the server, I see no way to stream a specific content only to a specific IP/port.

Do you think it would be possible to add this feature ?

I see 2 solutions from here :

1) add bind-address and port parameter (or full listen socket) in each mount

2) add a name for each <listen-socket> and then "subscribe" it to each <mount>

Maybe you have another solution to acheve that ?

currently I see 2 possibilities, run a second icecast that is limited for the 24k streams (it can act as a slave) or configure auth url on the specific streams and accept/deny new listeners based on their IP, server port etc.

Hi

Thanks for this answer.
The first solution is the one we choose for the moment, but managing 2 instances is not the best solution as it leads to twice more failing point Smile

The second solution may be good but it involve doing the check on the server for every user connexion. This will be far less effective than the appliance based check which is optimized for that.

I really think the good solution for me (but the right way to do it also) is to be able to say this mount is accessible from this ip and this port, and the other mount point from that.

I haven't checked the source code yet, but do you think it would be hard to do ?

Thanks.
