Icecast Streaming Media Server

[mashedtaz1]

Hi there,

I have been using icecast2 for about two months alongside stream transcoder. Essentially the stream comes in on :8400/protokolradio at 128k which the transcoder then picks up and relays to two other servers at 64 and 32k.

I have two mount points set up, one is the /protokolradio mount point, the other is /fallback which runs archives when there is no DJ.

Currently all live shows are archived using stream transcoder on the 64k transcoded stream.

I have two issues with this:

1, I have now decided that I would like to archive shows at 128k not 64k.
2, The stream transcoder picks up the /fallback stream also, which means EVERYtHING gets recorded. I only wish to archive live shows.

Can anyone come up with a solution to this as i have been racking my brains all morning lol!

Thanks in advance,

Taz

1. save the stream from /protokolradio
2. use the on-connect/disconnect triggers to start/stop the archive, assuming the dump-file option is not good enough for you

Thanks for your reply.

Could you elaborate on these as i have a limited knowledge of icecast2.

you said /protokolradio is 128k so that is the content you would want to archive. Assuming you are using wget/curl to catch to contents, use the <on-connect> for /protokolradio to call a script which starts the wget/curl and <on-disconnect> to call a script to kill it
