Icecast Streaming Media Server

[m3gab0y]

just a quick question. Can I setup Icecast to redirect users that wanna connect to a specific mountpoint, to redirect them to a given URL (outside the server).

My idea is to move a client to another server, but the listeners know the old URL pointing to a specific mount - I want to redirect all theese listeners to a new server.

Is this possible and if possible - how?

not in 2.3.2, and not trivially in the kh tree (you can use url auth and send back a 200 OK response to icecast with a Location: header that you would use for a 302. With that a 302 response is sent back to the listener.

You would specify a <mount> block for the old mountpoint reference with an authentication block. That block would specify a listener_add for validating listeners which in this case has a response of a Location: header to the new URL. That Location: header is detected and forces a 302 response to the listener who then reconnects to the correct location.

A php for something like that would be

<?php
header ('Location: http://other.server:800/newmountpoint');
?>

Note that the script returns a normal 200 OK response not 302 because we are not redirecting the icecast to auth link. The idea of this sort of mechanism was to be used as a sort of external load balancer.

Hello karl!

*edit*

With your recent branch my first problem is now solved, but there is still no redirection.

I have setup a mountpoint:
