The samples we ship have a section for listing on our directory, it is commented out by default <!-- commented -->

<directory>
<yp-url>http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url>
</directory>

* You can list your server with a directory server to gain exposure and more listeners.
List of directory servers:
o yp.shoutcast.com
o yp.breakfree.com
o yp.musicseek.net
o yp.van-pelt.com
o yp.radiostation.de
o yp.icecast.org
o yp.mp3.de

I cannot comment on shoutcast as that is not icecast, but shoutcast won't even try to list on our directory. You can of course configure icecast to talk to several directories but I don't think the shoutcast directory follows the spec that was provided.

of how to get icecast to talk to several directories

[karlH]

Just duplicate the <directory> tag block but change the URL to the one used for that particular directory. As an example look on

http://www.openradiodirectory.org/list.php

As you can see, all rather trivial.

where do i place the script in the config file

[karlH]

for the directory tags, it does not matter, but you should really group them together somewhere near the top.

I keep getting this:
[2010-12-01 00:05:22] EROR yp/send_to_yp connection to http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi failed with "Couldn't resolve host 'dir.xiph.org'"
[2010-12-01 00:05:22] EROR yp/send_to_yp connection to http://www.oddsock.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi failed with "Couldn't resolve host 'www.oddsock.org'"

I have no idea why Icecast couldn't resolve...

edit: found something...

[karlH]

The oddsock directory hasn't been around for a quite some time so do not expect that one to work. Fixing up those files should solve the issue but you may need to copy the libnss_dns* files or similar if they are loaded after startup.
