Icecast Streaming Media Server

[topdog]

Hi,
I have a few mountpoints in my icecast.xml file. They're source only mounts, meaning that I only have sources connect with encoders to encode the streams with like DSP Sam encoders, for instance on Windows.
I put passwords on the mountpoints but the passwords aren't taking.
My server password, for example, is test2212
That's not my real server password, of course, just an example one.
Therefore, eatch mountpoint is using that password even though I set passwords in them.
Here is my mount configuration. If it needs correction please let me know. Thanks.

Mount Configurations

<mount>
<mount-name>/teststream.ogg</mount-name>
<password>wvhsrrg</password>
<max-listeners>15</max-listeners>
<mount-name>/teststream2.mp3</mount-name>
<password>Y7AaF2gnPhF</password>
<max-listeners>15</max-listeners>
</mount>
Is that the correct configuration if I am to have source-only mounts and I want them to have a password and max listeners?

[karlH]

if /teststream.ogg and /teststre2.mp3 are 2 different mountpoints then you should have 2 different <mount> blocks, but you seem to of merged them into one in that sample.

Hi,
I tried putting in seperate mount blocks the various mountpoints.
The passwords I put in still do not take.
it wants to use the source password still.
For eatch mount I specified different passwords.
Below is my icecast.xml file.
Perhaps I'm missing something or I configured something wrong?

Based upon the above file, did I configure anything wrong?

[karlH]

if you comment out the mount blocks then icecast won't apply any mount setting defined within them. Just load the xml into firefox and you'll see that

Thanks for everyone's help. The mountpoints work correctly now.
The only other issue I have is:
When people visit the website, the site generates an m3u link and xspf link.
Clicking on the xspf link gives an http 404 error.
How can I fix this? Or is this a bug that should be reported?

[karlH]

check your admin directory for a xspf.xsl file, if it doesn't exist then get it from

http://svn.xiph.org/icecast/tags/icecast-2.3.2/admin/xspf.xsl

xspf is a playlist format in xml. I can't say why a third party package has it missing but it was missing from the install rule in the source package in 2.3.2 (fixed in trunk).
