Icecast Streaming Media Server

Adrian · Guest

Hello,

I'd like to add a global stat in icecast, to show an artist, or something I want in the client that listens to... Can anyone tell me how to do this ? I've tried using the form from /live.ogg but it doesn't work , I need to add it as a Global Stat...

You need to be very clear on what you are attempting, stats are for web page display, not for listeners apps. A global stats for something like artist isn't useful as there may be several streams active at the same time each with different artists being played. You also have not specified whether you are talking about just using icecast or modifying icecast.

When you start the Win32 IceCast, and Start the server, there are some Glob Stats there , like Listener Connections and stuff like that, There will be only 1 source for the server, and maybe several listeners , and I want instead of Traktor DJ Studio 3 to send the name of every song, and listeners see exactly what I play in there, I want to either change that, or just put something I want instead of the name of the songs, like the artist function that show's up in /live.ogg, but as a Global Stat...

you may only have 1 source in your setup, but icecast has to deal with the possibility of 100s, even on win32. If source stats became merged into global stats for the 1 source case, as soon as a second source connected then some complicated reshuffling would need to be done. So no it won't happen.

I set up the server for only 1 source.. not 100 ... thats why I want to put the artist name as a globat stat...

You do know you're asking for inconsistency here. per source stats are put into source groups for a reason. Maybe you are only concerned about the display part, so modify the win32 display engine.

is there a way atleast to add something that can appear for all sources and stuff like a Radio name or somethin ? , that would show up after the Artist and the Song Name that the source sends to icecast...

currently no, it needs investigating, but in theory the <stream-name> should eventually filter to the listener headers.
