Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

How do I setup a relay? I tried to setup a relay that was a shoutcast and it failed.

Any suggestions?

(this is windows xp)

To relay an existing stream just configure the <relay> group (and possibly a <mount> group). You will need to identify the server, port and mount at the very least although shoutcast tends to use / as the mountpoint whereas / on icecast is an alias to the status.xsl page. A local-mount setting can come in useful.

This is what I have and it doesn't work (this is a shoutcast server)

<relay>
<server>X.X.X>X>X></server>
<port>8001</port> (the port is 8000 on the shoutcast server)
<mount>/cni</mount>
<local-mount>/cni</local-mount>
<on-demand>0</on-demand>

<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay>
-->

<!-- Only define a <mount> section if you want to use advanced options,
like alternative usernames or passwords
<mount>
<mount-name>/example-complex.ogg</mount-name>

from the snippet, I would guess that you forget that <!-- and --> mark the start and end of a comment section, ie something that should be ignored.

Why port 8001 when shoutcast is on port 8000 and I doubt the shoutcast is streaming on a mountpoint of /cni (<mount>)

Because by default it was set at 8001.

No I didn't put the IP in here in a public room for privacy.

..and it should be showing up on a relay but it's not
Again I've reset the / to nothing since shoutcast doesn't use mounts.

and here is how i have it:

<!--
<relay>
<server>216.234.X.X</server>
<port>8000</port>
<mount>/</mount>
<local-mount>/cni</local-mount>
<on-demand>0</on-demand>

<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
</relay>

again you missed the main point I mentioned, read up on how you specify comments in xml

<!--
Yes everything in here is really ignored, even if it is a valid set
of tags for icecast relays
-->

If you comment out the relay section out of the xml file then icecast won't know about it and therefore not start it.
