Icecast2 Win32 v2.3.1 ( Start Server on Application Startup )

Enable|Disable GUI command consol switch flag (BUG)

System, Windows XP (SP2)
System, Windows 2000

Enabling “Start Server on Application Startup “ flag
is not reconfigured after program is Exited / Closed

( Hence to start Service always requires manual intervention )

Guess its back to using Shoutcast “sc_serv” for the time being

PS: At least for me,
no sign of instability ( Crash ) as reported else were in this forum Wink

Ok I hate to answer my own question
(but this forum is like SPAM Central)

And I feel the solution may be helpful to someone else

OK..
Here's the work-around for XP
which doesnt require you to add an extra key to the registory

Start the Icecast2console in dos window

Go to the directory into which you installed Icecast
( usually "C:\Program Files\Icecast2 Win32" )

Open icecast.xml in Notepad
and edit as necessary then save

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NEXT: Creat a desktop shortcut

a) Create a new Shortcut

b) add command line pointing to Icecast2console.exe

i: in "Target" add:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /k ".\Icecast2console.exe" -c .\icecast.xml

ii: in "Start in" add:
(The path to the directory into which "Icecast" was installed modify as necessary)
"C:\Program Files\Icecast2 Win32"

~~~~~~~~~~~

Thats it..

OK you dont get the nice GUI and Monitoring, but you do get a running server.

If you want to autostart this when the OS starts.
just copy this new shortcut into to the "startup" section of you "desktop" settings

Have fun..
