not via the admin interface, but you can update the xml and send a HUP signal to trigger a reload of the xml.

A simple approach is to kill -HUP <pid of icecast>. I am looking at merging the reload trigger by /admin.request that I have in -kh, at least then people on windows will have that option as well.

hello karl

if you kill the pid of icecast
all listeners are deconnected ?
in my case of webradio it's impossible

second point on win32 , as you say , there is a possibility &quot;/admin.request&quot;
can you explain me

thanks very much

When you tell icecast to reload the the xml then it won't drop any listeners unless you make changes to the xml that indirectly drop listeners. An example of that is if you remove a relay section from the xml, which would shut down that stream and any listeners on it would either fall back or be disconnected.

The 2.3.2 release does not contain any /admin request for doing what HUP does but I do have something in my tree (kh2 latest) which will trigger a reload of the xml (admin page has a link). This hasn't been merged yet but is on my list of things to do.

if i understand when you do a kill -HUP on the pid of icecast the icecast.xml is reload and the pid is not killed (it 's a solution)

you said that you hasn't been merged yet but is on your list of things to do.

when do you think this next version will be available ?

approximatly? days, weeks? months ?


thanks you very much karl

kill is the command to send a signal. for icecast, HUP is for reload.

I've no idea when the next version will be yet. There's a few things that I want to merge but I need to get some time to do that. In the meantime if you really need it then you can get my branch work.

Hello karl
for my project I need to execute an http command like
http://192.168.1.10:8000/admin/listclients?mount=/mystream.ogg
(which list all listeners of a mount point), so with this new command I would like to reload the icecast.xml

if you have a version of icecast which can execute this command I will be interested

thanks you very much for your help

As already mentioned, I have this in my branch work already and the url link to trigger the reload is on the admin page. It's not in the trunk codebase yet.
