Icecast Streaming Media Server

[karlH]

if you already have an icecast source client then you can start another connection up on a different mountpoint.

ok could you pls explain in more details, where do i create this?

is it part of the config file?

what settings do i need?

[karlH]

you configure your source client, that is the app that starts the connection. Whether you have mount specific settings in icecast is up to you.

very technical, did i understand? no

could you not be more clear in explaining. so i understand the the that i have to do something in oddcast, but what?

i did create another encoder but it wont connect.

do i use the same password as the first encoder?

[karlH]

you use the same password if you have configured icecast with only the global source-password setting. What you cannot reuse is the same mountpoint. Check your error log, if there is a failure then always checked your error log first, you'll be surprised how often the reason is shown in there.

It's right there in the log you posted, why doesn't the second stream connect, as it says

[2006-04-18 16:15:41] WARN connection/connection.c Mountpoint /stream.ogg in use

so what you have done is started the second connection with exactly the same mountpoint as the first. Use a different mountpoint for the second connection. Maybe it would be easier to understand if you think of the mountpoints relating to bandwidth eg

stream 1 /dialup.ogg
stream 2 /broadband.ogg
