Icecast Streaming Media Server

[mohadib]

Hello,
Is it possible to hook into Icecast authentication of stream sources. I would like to only allow, even if the password is provided, based on some other conditions.

This way a client can stream to me, but they cant start any streams I didnt ask for. Is this possible one way or the other?

Thanks

or maybe some sort of one time password. A pass thats good to start one stream, one time only.

Thanks!

In the post 2.3.2 work, there is an auth url stream_auth setting that can pass off source client authentication to an external script. It works in a similar way to listener_add, it is passed a number of arguments and you script returns an icecast-auth-user header to allow the client to continue.

If I checked out from subversion, could I expect something reasonably stable?

Thanks
