Icecast Streaming Media Server

[chas]

I hear that ICECAST can now relay shoutcast streams but the ther reverse ??

Can anyone confirm this??

[karlH]

icecast has always been able to relay a shoutcast stream. TO be able to do the reverse I think you have to make the / mountpoint a stream that shoutcast can handle. The usual setting for icecast is that / is an alias to /status.xsl

You lost me here lol

I am computer savvy but ignorant lol

icecast: "/" = "/stats.sxl"
shoutcats: "/"="/listen.pls"

So how to rewire all that??

EDIT the shoutcasts relay function doesnt work to iceast?

[karlH]

you probably just need to change the alias in icecast to refer to the stream you want to relay eg

<alias source="/" dest="/mystream.mp3"/>

remember shoutcast is limited in how many streams it can handle at the same time and the mountpoint is always /

alias definitions only appear in one place and it's not within relay

one more question about icecast to shoutcast relay, it works, but shoutcast is not even trying to update its yp directory.
should i make some changes in icecast config file, or this is not possible?

thanks

[karlH]

I suspect you need to mark the stream as public or advertise within the source client.

how should i do that within icecast config file?
<no-yp>0</no-yp>?
or?

because with shoutcast, you set the public switch inside of client's config, and in this scenario, my client is icecast server that im relaying !

[karlH]

as already indicated, you'll need to set this within the "source client", not icecast. The icecast settings will control what icecast does with the its directory servers, but it doesn't fill in any headers for shoutcast.
