hey and welcome to my forum post of the broken icecast server and ices
allright here is the low down on the basic of my machine

file-based playlist, and 'script' which invokes a command
to returns a filename to start playing. -->

<!-- Stream instance
You may have one or more instances here. This allows you to
send the same input data to one or more servers (or to different
mountpoints on the same server). Each of them can have different
parameters. This is primarily useful for a) relaying to multiple
independent servers, and b) encoding/reencoding to multiple
bitrates.
If one instance fails (for example, the associated server goes
down, etc), the others will continue to function correctly.
This example defines two instances as two mountpoints on the
same server. -->

<!-- Server details:
You define hostname and port for the server here, along with
the source password and mountpoint. -->
<hostname>127.0.0.1</hostname>

<mount>/all.ogg</mount>

<!-- Reconnect parameters:
When something goes wrong (e.g. the server crashes, or the
network drops) and ices disconnects from the server, these
control how often it tries to reconnect, and how many times
it tries to reconnect. Delay is in seconds.
If you set reconnectattempts to -1, it will continue
indefinately. Suggest setting reconnectdelay to a large value
if you do this.
-->
<reconnectdelay>60</reconnectdelay>
<reconnectattempts>-1</reconnectattempts>

<!-- maxqueuelength:
This describes how long the internal data queues may be. This
basically lets you control how much data gets buffered before
ices decides it can't send to the server fast enough, and
either shuts down or flushes the queue (dropping the data)
and continues.
For advanced users only.
-->
<maxqueuelength>80</maxqueuelength>

<!-- Live encoding/reencoding:
Currrently, the parameters given here for encoding MUST
match the input data for channels and sample rate. That
restriction will be relaxed in the future.

every thing seems to be working but i keep getting a sgement fault when i try to connect to the server. any ideas?

[karlH]

your xml indicates that the playlist is made of mp3s which is something that ices2 has never said it could read.
