|

Hey a tough question i guess..
Is there a way of making a default mount point on IC?
They seem like they have got a default one ..
As for this i can then get presenters to stream to their own mountpoint and our playout system will automatically stream the onto the default mount point on their scheduled times.

There is nothing to stop you from using / as a mountpoint, the sample xml files ship with / aliased to an xsl file so that a web page can be presented to a browser, it's convenient but you don't need that alias.
How you actually manage the slots between presenters is the question. You could have them all connecting to / as the mountpoint or you could allocate a mountpoint to each one and have / as a relay that can be moved around at certain times.

The way our presenting works is perfectly fine
We have a playout system constantly broadcasting on a windows server,
that plays music and is scheduled to pick up the presenters from http://localhost:2030/first.last and then it plays it on the server which encodes it to the main mount point.. This allows us to also compress the presenters streams.
But even with a mount point as ' / ' it still dosen't display it when i go to http://ip:2030/
Thank you |

That needs clarifying, if you mean the stream is present on / but listeners cannot get to because of the alias of / to /status.xsl then you need to remove the alias. If you mean the source connection of / does not work then you need to say that. As always the log files can be very helpful

Right that cleared it up by removing the code from icecast.xml .. Heres the only problem that stands in its way.. How can i make it a folder and not a port,
So http://ip/folder not http://ip:port
Thanks |

The default port for http URLs is 80, so you want to listen on that port.

Yes but isn't there a way of inserting the files into a folder then putting it under port 80 so that it can load up in a folder and not wreck the website as the website is hosted on the same server.
So it would constantly display it when you tried loading up my website |

maybe you are mixing up what a web server does and what a streaming server does. Your last post seems to be asking a question about a web server and how that would provide web documents. There are no directories with streams
