Icecast Streaming Media Server

Is there any way to have more than one intro clip for a mountpoint? If it's possible, I would like to give Icecast a list of clips to choose at random.

Yes, that's all that I added. I will implement the banning of bots later. Thanks for the tip on that.

Adding <workers>4</workers> seems to have resolved this issue. Thanks so much for the help!

One thing you might want to consider adding to Icecast is an Expires header. I have found tha ...

I figured the metadata issue out. It was not related. My apologies.

KH24.3 seemed to work fine in my testing, but when I went to deploy it live today I ran into some problems.

For the first few ...

This version seems to break all metadata updates. This is the message I receive when updating either Ogg or MP3 streams:

Message : Mountpoint will not accept this URL update
Return Code: 1

It seems to me that 5 or 10 seconds would be a more reasonable value. Maybe it should be a setting in the XML?

It looks like the 60 second wait corresponds to this part of the code in slave.c

I just upgraded from KH21a to KH24 and noticed the following:

[2010-06-14 21:03:29] INFO slave/relay_read relay /mount-64k.ogg terminated quickly, will restart in 60s

Great, thanks that works well.

I have one more question about relays. I am seeing this occasionally in the logs:

[2010-03-16 11:01:32] INFO source/source_shutdown Source "/mount.aac" ...

I am running Icecast 2.3.2 KH-21a with a master-update-interval of 5 seconds and am using <relay> tags for each individual stream.

This works well as a general rule for the server, however I ...

I've rigged up a test environment here with an OSS input source that continues to repeat 2 10-second clips over and and over again. The clips have very distinct noises which make them particularly sui ...

Thanks, that gives me a better understanding of how the process works.

I noticed that if the file that is supposed to be swapped in does not exist the player sits there buffering until the off swit ...

I'm curious, why wouldn't a metadata insert work for non-Vorbis streams? Wouldn't it make sense to hit a url like this:

http://server:8000/admin/metadata?mode=updinfo&mount=/mount.aac&song= ...

Thanks, the updates tarball compiled on FreeBSD 7.1. I'll let you know if I discover any other weird things in BSD.

The ices tip also did the trick for my Vorbis stream.

Is there a mechanism bui ...
