Icecast Streaming Media Server

Can I relay in one of these two methods?

Stream A (feed) with an added mountpoint named X is picked up by a relay sever B on mountpoint x ...and an URL Authentication mount added to x

OR

Stream A (feed) has an URL authentication mount "p" with another unauthenticated mountpoint "q" ...and "q" is picked up by a relay server B which will have an URL Authentication mountpoint added

I'm trying to do this without success. Thanks for your help!

From the description, this does not sound difficult.

First, server A stream X has no auth but server B relays it and defines for auth on the mountpoint.
Second, server A stream p has url auth, relay q (reads p) has no auth, server B relays q, the relayed q has url auth on it.

The relay on server B can pass details to server A for auth, whether it be defined via <username> <password> in <relay> or query args in <mount> eg <mount>/q?getmecontent=now</mount>, maybe the IP is sufficient. The url auth script can be as selective as you want.

Thanks Karl.

If my source mountpoint "A" has URL Authentication, should I create another mountpoint to relay to the next server...or can I use the same mountpoint "A".

You can use the same mountpoint, as long as the relay connection passes auth.
