Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi, along with my icecast server, I have several sources which are sending to the server more or less continuously. I now need to occasionally archive the audio coming from certain sources and save it to disc, is there a mechanism in icecast to accomplish this or do I really just have to use icecream or streamripper to do the capturing on the client side?

Hi Bradley,

With the Winamp Sam Encoder Plugin (with streams to icecast server) saves every stream if you choose, so thats a good alternative.
You can get the plugin for winamp here: http://www.spacialaudio.com/products/winamp/

That looks nice, but my stream sources are actually solid state networked mp3 encoders. So I need my archiving to happen on the icecast server itself or with a capturing client like streamripper, after it's been relayed through the server. I'd prefer the former, if it's possible.

You can kick off a download client on the server, something like wget/curl, maybe hooked in from an on-connect mount option, the file naming style can be up to you then.
