Icecast Streaming Media Server

[bombnation]

I have been successfully running a 96k OGG stream on my Icecast 2.3.2 server for some time, but I am now trying to set up a 64k MP3 stream as well on the same server. The stream will be coming from the same source as the OGG stream, so I am trying to set this up as a new mountpoint. The problem is that I cannot get the new mountpoint to become active. It just acts as if I did not add it in the icecast.xml file. Does anyone have any idea of how I can activate this new MP3 stream? My icecast.xml file is below. Please note that I am running the Windows version of Icecast:


<icecast>
<limits>
<clients>300</clients>
<sources>300</sources>
<client-timeout>60</client-timeout>
<header-timeout>60</header-timeout>
<source-timeout>60</source-timeout>
</limits>

<hostname>my ip address</hostname>

<fileserve>2</fileserve>

<mount>
<mount-name>/listen.ogg</mount-name>
<max-listeners>300</max-listeners>
<bitrate>96</bitrate>
<type>application/ogg</type>
</mount>
<mount>
<mount-name>/listen.mp3</mount-name>
<bitrate>64</bitrate>
<type>audio/mpeg</type>
</mount>
<paths>
<logdir>./logs</logdir>
<webroot>./web</webroot>
<adminroot>./admin</adminroot>
<alias source="/" dest="/status.xsl"/>
</paths>
<logging>
<accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
<errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
<playlistlog>playlist.log</playlistlog>
<logsize>10</logsize>
<loglevel>3</loglevel> <!-- 4 Debug, 3 Info, 2 Warn, 1 Error -->
</logging>
</icecast>

The next process involves look at the error log as specified in your icecast xml. If the source is rejected then it will say so.

I just checked the error log and I've pasted the relevant messages regarding the new mount I'm trying to create. You can see that I was trying to manually access this mount using different possible paths even though the mount never showed up in the list of mount points. I don't see anything about it being rejected... it's like Icecast simply isn't creating the mount. I've even tried rebooting the Windows server after adding the mount in Icecast. Any ideas after seeing these entries?:

those are from player requests, so I suspect your source client is not even attempting to connect to icecast for that mp3 mountpoint (or is not able to). Failed source clients are also logged in the access log.
