Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Aluizio Neto]

Im trying to setup a relay server over a dedicated connection between two computers. I`ve copied the <relay> tags from the forum and changed the variables for my computers. Can anyone help me? It just doesnt work. I should see the relay connection on the status tab, right? But I don`t. Thanks a lot. There goes my configuration file (the part about the relay). Is that the only thing I should configurate?

<relay>
<server>192.168.63.1</server>
<port>8000</port>
<mount>/main</mount>
<local-mount>/mainb</local-mount>
<relay-shoutcast-metadata>0</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay>

Can you be clear on a few things first. Does the icecast run, ie although you say you don't see the relay details on /status.xsl, do you in fact see a /status.xsl (even if it has no streams listed).

half of the queries we get with this is because the <relay> is commneted out ie between <1-- and -->

Also, as always with icecast, check the error log. You should see relay connection attempts at log level 3.

The Icecast runs ok, I can even add sources and listeners, I just cant see the relay connections. I`ll take a look at the log files. Thank ya very mutch.

I`ve looked over the log file (set for debug in my xml file) and it indicates an error about authentication ("Error from relay request: Authentication required"). How can I set up the password for the single-stream relay? In the master I`ve set it already and it looks like its working fine.
Thanks a lot again,

Add <username> <password> tags in the <relay>

I`ve tried that already. The weird thing is that I made it work with the same relay but another master. So, the obvious conclusion is that the master that has some configuration that`s wrong... Don`t know what could it be, the xml`s look exactly the same, just the IPs are different...

Thanks man, I made it work now, it was in the master config file. Some <mount> parameters that the last guy who worked here configured in some weird way.
Thanks a lot, you were a really good help!

If the master relay requires a username and password then you need to provide it with the options I've specified. We can't really help much more than that based on what information we know so far. You may need to check the master setup to see if the username/password is valid.
