Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

I used shoutcast server, but i had to launch three copies of .exe, every with it own config.
I was advised that icecast can releay from two shoutcast servers. I've read docs but it doesn't helped me to understand the idea in making right config.

I have three servers:
http://213.184.232.36:9000/listen.pls
http://213.184.232.36:8000/listen.pls
http://213.184.232.42:8000/listen.pls
All of them are relay shoutcast streams.

LAN config is:
server ip: 10.1.3.100
LAN mask 255.0.0.0

I'm not sure if you really need network settings, but...

Please, post here the config that will help to solve the problem.
Thank you!

What do you want to do exactly?
a) to replace your three SHOUTcast servers by running one ICEcast with three mountpoints
or
b) to keep the SHOUTcast Servers and run an additional ICEcast which relays the three SHOUTcast

2nd. The SHOUTcast servers belong to my ISP and I want to make relay in my LAN.
And one more - the main thing to chang shoutcast to icecast - ability to stop downloading stream if trere are now active listeners/.

"stop downloading stream if trere are now active listeners"?

You can configure in SHOUTcast ("ListenerTimer") and in ICEcast (in mountpoint section "max-listener-duration") the max. connect duration of a listener. After that periode (e. g. 3 hours) he's disconnected by the server and must connect manually again to listen for the next 3 hours.

Or do you mean to keep clients with stream ripper, sr-POSIX away rom your stream? This you can only do, if you are running a script, which looks for example each two minutes on the clients table and the conneted players and kick an user if the used a player you have marked for kick, but that more an bash or PHP issue.

Regarding your relay config I will reply separately.

I want icecast (or shoutcast if it's posible) to stop loading bandwidth (is it correct word?) if nobody is listening to relaying server (my server).

Here a running demo relay configuration of your three SOUTcast:

-- link deleted --

You will see only one ICEcast on Port 8000 is active and your three Radios
are separated by mountpoints:
/aichyna
/edgerocks
/unistar

The three <mount> sections with same mount-name as the local-mount form the <relay>-section are not really necessary, but they are recommended, only in that way you can set the max. listener count per mount point and also limit the max. connect duration.

Here the config file extract:

I will shutdown the ICEcast in few hours, after you have checked it.

Thanks a lot. About reading docs on site - i've read, honestly. But didn't understand the main idea - how to make some relays. Now, i think, i've got it
And another one question - is it nessesary to different stations with the help of some kinds of directories? I mean '/aichyna' or '/edgerocks'. Earlier in SHOUTcast to allow 3 stations per server (one IP) I used different ports. The example of this way was in the first my post.
Can icecast use different ports, like it was in SHOUTcast?
Please, don't kill your example for some more hours...

Of cause ICEcast can listen on several ips and ports, but I don't understand why you want do that. Try to understand the meaning of the mountpoint idea, which is used to differ your radiostations.

If you want to use that mounts later for live streaming you can add
<password>streampass</password> each <mount>-section to limit the access to that mountpoint

Add additional listen-sockets, e. g.

<listen-socket>
<bind-address>80.252.108.242</bind-address>
<port>9000</port>
</listen-socket>

<listen-socket>
<bind-address>80.252.108.243</bind-address>
<port>8000</port>
</listen-socket>

Your three moutpoionts would now be also accessible over that IPs and Ports.

Ok, kleinadam, I agree with you that the system of differing is nice. I asked only 'cos I used to use ports

Now I'm going to translate to russian web-interface.
Thank you a lot for paid attention!
