Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

How i do get listed in this directory please help tried everything i know still cant, i am a beginner so please b basic thanks to anyone who can help me

tell icecast about the directory server with the <directory> tags then mark the stream (in the source client) as public. If you think you have done this then check the error log for messages with the term yp in them.

done this is this right?

didnt understand the source client bit sorry couldnt find the the bit i had to change sorry please help

[karlH]

actually it's dir.xiph.org not www.icecast.org, I'm also pretty sure that the YP server at www.oddsock.org is not running anymore.

The stream has to be marked as public as well because some people may want one stream listed and another not. The source client is the usual place to mark it but you can override it with various settings in the <mount> section if you must.

a) You didn't mention which platform you are on, but if you're still having YP problems make sure your system has cURL installed and that Icecast is aware of it ...

I've had to go back a few times (when hand compiling icecast on debian, at least) and make sure I've configured with the

./configure --with-curl
and/or --with-curl-config=

.. options before it works ...


b) There's also

<directory>
<yp-url-timeout>10</yp-url-timeout>
<yp-url>http://openradiodirectory.org/yp.php</yp-url>
</directory>

.. if you'd like to try that one as well.

The public setting should be in the source client configuration, only use the icecast settings if the source client/relay cannot be configured to do so.

Just to clarify, if you are building from source then libcurl is checked for and disabled (stopping directory listing) if not found. The error log reports if YP is working or not.

Cheers 4 help chaps still cant get listed anywhere i'm bit overwelmed by it al cURLS LIBcl and stuff i think the only way im going to get listed any where is if i paste a blank congfig sheet on here and you show me how its all set up ive oddcast plug in running and icecast and get people listening when they enter my address but thats it. if you dont mind let me know will paste config sheet on here if not cheers for your time.

You keep misunderstanding the key things to check for. The xml configuration file for icecast is not the error log file. Check the error log that is specified in your xml file, it's text so any editor is ok but check for lines with yp on them.

In a working setup you will see the directory servers being recognized by icecast and that add and update requests being sent to those servers when a public stream is added. We have no other information to work off.
