Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Yay! It works! Now...I'd like to give different source people different usernames and passwords. I can't figure out how to do that with dynamic sources? Can you help me out?

you can only allocate source username/passwords on specified mountpoints, eg

<mount>
<mount-name>/stream.ogg</mount-name>
<username>myname</username>
<password>mypass</password>
....
</mount>

this is fixed in the xml, but can be altered and reloaded on HUP signal, so it is really a question on what you mean by 'dynamic sources'.

If I declare a mount, I was under the impression that I had to tie it to a specific incoming host IP? People streaming to the server will have dynamic IP addressing.

Also...does anyone know how to configure a username and password combo in simplecast? It knows the 'default' usernames (admin, relay, source) and lets you set a password, but I cannot find a way to set full on usernames as a source client.

icecast doesn't filter on incoming IP, it can be from any address. The default username is 'source' so if simplecast doesn't allow for changes to that then fine just use that username.

Hmmm...that's a problem. I want to be able to assign usernames and passwords to various groups of folks.

Thanks.

If each mountpoint can have its own user/pass then I don't see the problem.
