Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hello!

I setup icecast to relay number of radio stations for my treo. It works great! Now, I need to take a public 48kbps stream and down sample it to 24kbsp or 32kbps (speed of GPRS) and relay it as well.
I am having troubles in getting streamtranscoder to work with icecast properly. Streamtranscoder seems to start up fine and connect to both, the source and icecast, but icecast doesn't relay the stream.
Thank You !

Please see my config and log files below:

based on what you posted it looks to be running as expected.

Port 25 is e-mail related port. It is one of the 6 ports open in my Tmobile T-zones plane. I exploit those ports to run radio and other apps. Radio was not something Tmobile had in mind when they sold me $5 a month email plan(unlimited data)

If you relay another stream on the same icecast then that other stream needs to be there or else you get a Not found type message. 8 seconds after that error is returned to the relay, a source client connects and streams on that mountpoint. After 2 mins the relay is tried again and from the looks of it succeeds.

on-[dis]connect scripts are not triggered on listener connections, only when a stream starts/stops

If you really want to trigger a source client connection on-demand then you'll have to use listener authentication via url. You don't have to check any listener details (like user/pass) but you can make the script start the source client (if it is not running already), returning the authenticated header to pass the listener. You'll have to allow for the source client to make it's connection before passing the first listener and you'll have to keep a tally of the listeners so that you know when to shutdown the source client when the last listener disconnects.
