Icecast Streaming Media Server

[giuseppepaolo]

Hello all,

I'm having some problems using icecast2 as a server and client source with shoutcast. I can not change my bitrate through icecast2, is always what is write in shoutcast. Similarly, both with shoutcast or darkice, I could not add limitation of users, it always is as follows:

max_listeners unlimited

Is there any way to correct this? Use the version of Icecast 2.3.2.

Thank you!

PS.: Sorry for my bad English.

in icecast, max listeners is a <mount> setting.

Thank you for this reply, but I already put max-listeners as an option to mount, but still is as unlimited, is there something else to be done?

About bitrate, I put the option <bitrate>, and also did not work.

Below are my options mount:

<mount>
<mount-name>radiotest.mp3</mount-name>
<max-listeners>20</max-listeners>
<username>test</username>
<password>123456</password>
<burst-size>32768</burst-size>
<bitrate>32</bitrate>
<hidden>1</hidden>
<no-yp>1</no-yp>
</mount>

Thanks!

Sources log in using username 'source', or how it was in docs..
So, I would guess that radio would be using general settings, specially if admin password is same as for that specific mount.

Sorry, I changed the user to source, but continued without limitations of username and without changing the bitrate.

The new configuration was the following:

<mount>
<mount-name>radiotest.mp3</mount-name>
<max-listeners>20</max-listeners> NOT WORKING
<username>source</username>
<password>123456</password>
<burst-size>32768</burst-size>
<bitrate>32</bitrate> NOT WORKING
<hidden>1</hidden>
<no-yp>1</no-yp>
</mount>

The online radio is working, tested.

Thanks!!

Mount-name should begin with / The bitrate option is to supply details to the directory. The default source client username is source but you can override it on a per-mount basis.

Its working!!!!! Thanks!!

But, my bitrate on config file is fixed on 32kb, and on my darkice config is 64kb. When connect on my station, show 64kb.

Is there any way to reencode through icecast?

no, specially not with non-free codecs. you can of course use a stream transcoder. Those options don't change the headers from the codec, the thing about options like bitrate is that they were implemented in cases with on-demand relays where the bitrate and media format etc are not known until the relay connects.

I made it work with streamtranscoder of oddsock.org.

Thanks!!!!!
