 Posted: Thu May 19, 2011 10:32 pm Post subject: How to let DJ's take over my stream |
 |
|
Hi all, i have a little experience setting up shoutcast servers but im pretty new to icecast... I've been told its capable of doing what i want but i can't seem to work it out
My setup consists of:
Windows 7 Enterprise server
Icecast 2.3.2
ezstream-0.5.6
Stream URL : http://pendaz.ftpaccess.cc:8000
So far i have ezstream sending to my icecast server from a playlist i've made, this works perfectly, what i would like to do is have the ability to grant dj's access via a username/password during certain times.
If theres any information / configs / etc i should provide please let me know, im on deadline with this so i'll be watching this thread like a hawk 
Thanks in advance

you can have a separate mountpoint fallback-override the ezstream mountpoint and that new mountpoint can be DJ specific having a specific user/pass mount setting. The way won't enforce a time period unless you reload the xml with altered settings.
The alternative is to use the trunk or kh version with the authentication option stream_auth which will issue a url request to authenticate a source, operates like listener_add for listeners but applies to the source client authentication. A php script could then do the user/pass and time check.

How can i achieve this?
Heres what i have in the mount sections of my icecast.xml:
| Code: |
<mount>
<mount-name>/bassfm.mp3</mount-name>
<username>bassfmsource</username>
<password>password</password>
<dump-file>/recordings/bassfm.mp3</dump-file>
<charset>ISO8859-1</charset>
<public>1</public>
<stream-name>Bass FM</stream-name>
<stream-description>Pure Electronic Bass Music</stream-description>
<stream-url>http://bass-fm.co.nr</stream-url>
<genre>Electronic Bass</genre>
<bitrate>192</bitrate>
<hidden>0</hidden>
<mp3-metadata-interval>4096</mp3-metadata-interval>
</mount>
<mount>
<mount-name>/livestream.mp3</mount-name>
<username>bassfmlive</username>
<password>password</password>
<dump-file>/recordings/livestream.mp3</dump-file>
<fallback-mount>/bassfm.mp3</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
<fallback-when-full>1</fallback-when-full>
<charset>ISO8859-1</charset>
<public>1</public>
<stream-name>Bass FM | Live Stream</stream-name>
<stream-description>Pure Electronic Bass Music | LIVE</stream-description>
<stream-url>http://bass-fm.co.nr</stream-url>
<genre>Electronic Bass</genre>
<bitrate>192</bitrate>
<hidden>0</hidden>
<mp3-metadata-interval>4096</mp3-metadata-interval>
</mount> |
ezstream connects, but i am unable to take over the stream from my external DJ app (traktor / virtual dj)
Thanks |

I assume you have ezstream feeding /bassfm.mp3 and traktor feeding /livestream.mp3
When /livestream.mp3 connects, then listeners on /bassfm.mp3 will be moved to it and dropped back to bassfm.mp3 when it stops. The other settings you have there have no bearing on the fallback arrangement.

Either the icecast has not taken the settings you have posted or the stream is not active at the time of the fallback. Obviously without the log file contents I can only speculate on why it would not be doing it. Email the log (level 4) and xml and I'll see what is actually happening.

I hat the same problem untill I changed the bitrate so ezstream and the dj now are both on 128kb/s stereo. Seems the fallback and the livestream have to be on the same bitrate otherwise some player don't like it.
 if your dj runs in shoutcast mode..... in your config I don't see a shoutcast mountpoint.
