Hi there, now I have icecast working. After getting the latest one and compiling it !!!
We are streaming a loop of a demo of mine. this is via idjc, on a loop.
http://tux.isa-geek.org:800/mystream.m3u
Now I have made a playlist, stuck it in /usr/local/share/icecast/web/playlist.m3u
Winamp on the windows box finds it but nothing comes out:(
Do I need to setup ices or something to play opps stream individual mp3 files? If so how!
Pls _________________ John "Hammie" Hamlin

so you have a custom m3u, which looks to have a different hostname but seems to map to the same IP. vlc plays ok here.

diff hostname? if thats tux2.isa-geek.org
then thats fine it all resolves here anyway.

???? not the looping stream
which is /mytream.m3u
try aceradio.m3u
which is a playlist file in the format of
/home/johnh10000/tux.isa-geek.org/demo/aceradio.mp3
it's the last bit I want working now, hope you can help _________________ John "Hammie" Hamlin

what do you expect your listeners to do with that url? It looks like an absolute path to a file on the filesystem rather than a reference to a stream of file from icecast.

your original posting was not clear on what you were asking. If you have a stream with a mountpoint of /stream then an automatically generated m3u playlist is provided on /stream.m3u if you wish other playlist files like pls then you can write them specifically and icecast will serve them but they should contain the correct reference for the stream eg /stream

Sorry if I was unclear. I still don't fully understand how to achive my objective. I understand /mystream turns into /mystream.m3u.
How do I write a play list specificly so icecast will serve them for me.
BTW tux2 is now officail. icecast has moved house lock stock and barrel
But is on-line, but not streaming anything, forgot a lib for idjc, and gfriend is trying to sleep. _________________ John "Hammie" Hamlin

the m3u is automatically generated, so you don't need to create one for that, but you can if you wish. If you want a pls file then you will have to write one but all it would need is a url to the stream.
BTW, you do know that you are running on 2.2.0 not 2.3.2
