Icecast Streaming Media Server

[keyboard1973]

Hello,

I am having a problem and I am not sure where the issue lies. My Icecast is working. I wanted to authenticate users on the mount point. When I go to the icecast status page the mount point shows a lock next to it so I believe the config is right. When I click listen I go to the Authorization page and get prompted for the username and password. This is where the issue is, it does not recognize my user or pass , it does not matter what I enter. I can leave it blank and it will still pop up an opening box but the source or playlist is not mine it seems to be a default. What it offers is buildm3u, any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Here is my icecast config.

Thank you,

Keith

check your error log, maybe there is an issue with the htpasswd file, eg it may not exist

Hi Karl,

Thanks for the reply I do appreciate the help. So you know I only have 2 years of linux under my belt so I may be over looking something little here. I thought I had everything covered because its all working except the mount point authentication. Another thing happening is when I go under the admin page I log in and it authenticates fine. Under manage authentication when adding a user and password after clicking add new user.. nothing shows next to User ID, perhaps nothing should be there on the web page? I thought it might be related. I did previously create a htpasswd file and placed it in the same directory as the icecast.xml file. Here is what my directory looks like. I don't believe there is a permissions issue. This is also running under OS X darwin.

I still don't see the contents of the error log.

BTW, /Users/trunkmonkey2/Music/Playlists sounds like an unusual streaming mountpoint, are you sure that is what you intended?

karl.

[keyboard1973]

That is the path where the music is located I have the mp3's and the playlist in 2 different locations. I also issued pwd to double check my locations before entering them in the config. Also everything works, the music streams just the authentication issue. Here is the error.log I am posting the last 100 lines.

Thanks Karl,

[karlH]

You look to be confusing things. I think you are assuming the icecast is a source client as well as a server, it is not. The source client (which _may_ reside on the same machine) processes any playlists or dsp inputs and sends that stream to icecast. The source client does not care about how the listeners authenticate.

karl.

[keyboard1973]

So is the authentication only between ices and iceast? is there a way to authenticate listeners. I assume this could be don't with URL authentication?

Thanks again,

Keith

[karlH]

there has to be authentication between source client and icecast, but it is optional between icecast and listener. url and htpasswd is support for listener auth but you need to define your mountpoint yet or else icecast won't which stream to apply the auth on
