 Posted: Tue Apr 06, 2010 10:43 am Post subject: Fallback with Shoutcast? |
 |
|
Hi,
i would like to use Icecast for a web radio. Therefore I have a Shoutcast mountpoint. If the streamer disconnects, the stream should fall back to the Icecast mountpoint /autodj.
This is my config file:
| Code: |
<!-- This config file can be used to configure icecast
in shoutcast compatibility mode which will allow
you to connect the Shoutcast DSP (or other Nullsoft
encoders such as the NSV encoder). Note this is just
a minimal config, check the main icecast.xml.dist file
for a complete list of possible configuration options -->
<icecast>
<limits>
<sources>3</sources>
<clients>250</clients>
</limits>
<authentication>
<!-- Configure the shoutcast DSP to use this password -->
<source-password>fhsourcepassword</source-password>
<!-- This is used for icecast's web interface -->
<admin-user>xxxx</admin-user>
<admin-password>xxxxxxxxx</admin-password>
</authentication>
<!-- This is the hostname other people will use to connect to your server.
It affects mainly the urls generated by Icecast for playlists and yp
listings. -->
<hostname>xxxxxx</hostname>
<!-- You MUST define 2 ports, port and port +1 -->
<listen-socket>
<!-- Configure the shoutcast DSP with *this* port
the shoutcast DSP actually will connect the
encoder to this port + 1 -->
<port>8000</port>
<shoutcast-mount>/stream</shoutcast-mount>
<fallback-mount>/autodj</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
</listen-socket>
<mount>
<mount-name>/autodj</mount-name>
<hidden>1</hidden>
<bitrate>128</bitrate>
<stream-name>Auto DJ</stream-name>
<stream-description></stream-description>
</mount>
<fileserve>1</fileserve>
<paths>
<logdir>/home/icecast/icecast/logs</logdir>
<webroot>/home/icecast/icecast/web</webroot>
<adminroot>/home/icecast/icecast/admin</adminroot>
</paths>
<logging>
<accesslog>access.log</accesslog>
<errorlog>error.log</errorlog>
<loglevel>3</loglevel> <!-- 4 Debug, 3 Info, 2 Warn, 1 Error -->
</logging>
<security>
<chroot>0</chroot>
</security>
</icecast>

The AutoDJ mountpoint is used by ices0.4. That are the parameters:
| Code: |
ices04 -h localhost -p 8000 -r -s -F playlist.pls -m /autodj -P xxxxxxx -n "Auto DJ" -b 128 -B
|
Both streams work, but if the Shoutcast streamer disconnects, the mountpoint does not fall back to /AutoDJ
Is there any error in my configuration file or is it not possible to handle a fallback stream with a Shoutcast mountpoint?
Thanks in advance

You need to define a mountpoint for Shoutcast. Under the listener socket, you define /stream, but there's no actual mount definition for it. You can't use fallback options under a listener socket.

Thanks for your answer.
That?s my new config:
| Code: |
<!-- This config file can be used to configure icecast

encoders such as the NSV encoder). Note this is just
a minimal config, check the main icecast.xml.dist file

<icecast>
<limits>
<sources>10</sources>
</limits>
<authentication>
<!-- Configure the shoutcast DSP to use this password -->
<!-- This is used for icecast's web interface -->
<admin-user>xxxxx</admin-user>
<admin-password>xxxxxxx</admin-password>
<source-password>xxxxxx</source-password>
</authentication>
<!-- This is the hostname other people will use to connect to your server.

<hostname>localhost</hostname>
<!-- You MUST define 2 ports, port and port +1 -->
<mount>
<shoutcast-mount>/stream</shoutcast-mount>
<mount-name>/stream</mount-name>
<port>8000</port>
<fallback-mount>/autodj</fallback-mount>

<max-listeners>250</max-listeners>
</mount>
<mount>
<mount-name>/autodj</mount-name>
<stream-name>Auto DJ</stream-name>
<max-listeners>250</max-listeners>
</mount>
<fileserve>1</fileserve>
<paths>

</icecast>

Now the problem is that DJs cannot connect to my server to stream on it. Virtual DJ says "Cannot connect to server ..."
Shoutcast streaming is selected in Virtual DJ.
Did I forget something in the config-file?
Thank you

You misunderstood what was mentioned. You need the listen-socket which includes <shoutcast-mount>, so that icecast knows which ports to use, but you also want a <mount> section matching the <shoutcast-mount> so that the mountpoint settings (fallback in this case) can be applied.
