Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

The doc reads that it has to be either both icecast or the relaying server has to be a shoutcast server.

so i def can't relay a shoutcast server stream with my icecast server?

If you configure icecast as a slave server then the master has to be an icecast2 server as well (the command to get the list of streams is specific to icecast, shoutcast doesn't have it). If you specify a <relay> yourself then that can relay a shoutcast or icecast stream.

The term 'master' is vague in itself. In the context of the <relay> (as the section you have outlined refers to) the master is the sender. And that sender can be shoutcast server.

works fine! didn't mind the <mount>/</mount> for shoutcast

hi,

i have shoutcast running already. but want to stream/broadcast to icecast also using shoutcast server.

or does it have to be the other way round.

thanks.

[karlH]

The relays in icecast are pull relays, so if icecast is to mirror a stream from another server (eg shoutcast or another icecast) then you configured your icecast to with the details for relaying a stream. The part some get confused about is what would the mountpoint be for shoutcast stream and as already pointed out it's /

you don't have an uncommented <relay> section in your xml file
