Icecast Streaming Media Server

[calmradio]

I need help on setting up a shoutcast relay. No-go so far.

In the server.config file....there is a commented-out notation:

<!-- set the mountpoint for a shoutcast source to use, the default if not
specified is /stream but you can change it here if an alternative is
wanted or an extension is required

<shoutcast-mount>/live.nsv</shoutcast-mount>
-->

Do I simply need to set a mountpoint using this? /live.nsv

OR

set another mountpoint as

<mountpoint>/live.nsv</mountpoint>

I am using Centovacast as my panel, it simply asks me for server and port

not sure which way you mean, to relay a shoutcast stream, you use a relay section with the mount as / and local mount as you want on icecast. To get shoutcast to relay an icecast stream then you need to make the stream available on a mountpoint named / which could done via an alias. The shoutcast-mount options are used when a shoutcast-style source client connects, as they do not supply a mountpoint.

Hi Karl

I setup a mountpoint as:

<mount cc="shoutcast">
<mount-name>/</mount-name>
<intro></intro>
<fallback-mount>/live</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
<fallback-when-full>0</fallback-when-full>

<no-yp>1</no-yp>
</mount>

Still no-go. is that correct? the mountname simple as "/"

You still haven't made clear what you intend to do. A mount only specifies some stream settings for a particular mountpoint, you still haven't said what the problem is exactly, what is "still no-go"?

Sorry I'm not communicating clearly.

I have a master icecast server IP + port 8100 (un-authenticated) that is used by other relays. One of the other relays is a shoutcast stream.

The master has /stream as it's mountpoint. I have set the shoutcast relay to the master IP and port 8100

Upon further reading, I see "multiple listener elements" which you would add another listen socket.
Should I set it this way?

<listen-socket>
<port>8100</port>
<bind-address>69.175.86.58</bind-address>
</listen-socket>

<listen-socket>
<port>8101</port>
</listen-socket>

Thanks for your help Karl

First thing to understand, a shoutcast relaying a stream is not a source client (it's a listener), so don't confuse the relaying part with a shoutcast source client requiring 2 ports. A single port would work however the shoutcast will be requesting / as the mountpoint, so either the stream needs be named / (and not /stream) or you need to alias / to /stream. Normally for icecast, / to mapped to /status.xsl (with alias) so you get a web page so if you want to keep that on port 8100 then I would suggest allocating another port/bind-address to map / to /stream so that the shoutcast relay will work.

eg
<alias source="/" port="8100" dest="/status.xsl"/>
<alias source="/" port="8101" dest="/stream"/>

After playing around it simply required me adding only:

<alias source="/" port="8100" dest="/stream"/>

Also made sure the adjacent port 8101 was clear.

I pointed the relay to port 8100

___________________

I couldn't get both aliases to work as such:

<alias source="/" port="8100" dest="/status.xsl"/>
<alias source="/" port="8101" dest="/stream"/>

Am I okay in this manner Karl?

Once again, I can't thank you enough.

sounds like you are all sorted. The double alias was only to allow for retrieving different content depending on the port requested.
