HI,

the firewall is fine checked it a few times port forwarding is also there and have made no changes from over a week.

2 things stand out,

A hostname of localhost is not going to be useful to other people for referring to your server.

You are using <bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address>, so only you can access it. Don't use bind-address unless you really need to.

hi,

thanks karl, i have fixed the localhost & bind address issue and now the server is visible on http://82.44.169.183:8000/ . but i dont see the stats like before i was more detailed status. there is no link for being online or Listen Now.

please can u go through it once again.

appricated

[karlH]

From the look of it you don't intend to run a relay of another stream so you need to start your source client to begin streaming.

hi,

sorry karl, dont know wht u mean. i have Oddcast V3 and Icecast 2 .

as i said before tht it was fine yesterday and as it seem obvious now that i messed up the settings. can u please be more clear.

[karlH]

The link you posted comes back now, and displays the status page, although no stream details are showing currently. Your error log shows no problem reading files, although the favicon.ico is missing but that isn't a great loss.

karl.

[Anonymous]

thanks

the status page is showing but no data and no link to "Listen".

i have also spoted 1 error still in log files.

I think that YP server is not working now, remove it from the icecast xml.

thanks karl,

just need your oppinioin :>>

i am using oddcast DSP V3 with the servers listed below.
Icecast 2 & Shoutcast Server.

i have used Nullsoft Shoutcast source DSP and i have it working with shoutcast server. but have probles adding further encoders.

so i just need to know what wloud be the best options available in setting up as many streams to most services.

and ofcourse something easly setup.

thanks

[karlH]

shoutcast is limited to 1 stream per server so you need to use many ports to handle many streams, the extra kick is that each shoutcast source client uses 2 ports. With icecast source clients, they provide a mountpoint so the same port can use used for many streams. For our last set of tests we ran 1400 streams on one icecast listening on one port.

karl.

[Anonymous]

hi Karl , that sounds good, i have now 1 stream already running good, so now i want to offer stream in low / high and perhaps in 2 or 3 formats so that at least the listners can choose to listen in winamp, wmp or realplayer.

if i want to do this what needs to be done.

thanks

[karlH]

you need to use source clients that can talk to icecast2, we list some on our web pages. Which one to use depends on the situation however icecast doesn't care which one is used.

karl.

[Anonymous]

really dont know what you mean? i already have a source and the streaming is running fine.
