Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Can icecast stream multiple streams from multiple ports simultaneously? If yes, how can one configure the server to accomplish this? If you can point to a specific documentation, that will be greatly appreciated.

You don't need multiple ports for icecast but you can specify them with the <listen-socket> tags if you want to. As long as each stream has it's own unique mountpoint name then you can use 1 or more ports on the same icecast.

The only exception to this is when dealing with a shoutcast style source client. For these you need a 2 ports and 2.3.1 only supports one of these, but the trunk and -kh branches both handle more than one of these clients.
