hi fellow casters,

i'm trying to propose many mountpoints to my listeners.

after trying something w/ ezstream, i tried icegenerator which performs great with one playlist. when i try to launch a second instance of icegenerator (w/ log disabled and a different conf file) it says "cannot connect to server'. As icegenrator devel seems sleepy (last pre-release Oct 2004), i ask here if anyone has experienced same behaviour?

BTW do someone know a prog capable of running multiple instances of himself and so provide the server w/ multiple mountpoints ???

i'd prefer something that runs as a daemon / cmd line (no GUI), as i'd like it to run as a service (using SystemV style rc5 script).

Thanks for your answers.

Peace.

I have good experience with darkice. I use it every day to send three different streams (Ogg VOrbis, MP3 low, MP3 high) to our icecast server.

Darkice reads from line in, but you can specify the sound device where it reads from. So it is also possible to let your favourite player do his job and play all your music and stuff and darice runs in background and grabs the music of the capture input and streams it.

This setup also gives you some flexibility in what sources you use, you even can mix the sound using the sound mixer of the system, play any kind of sound and video files or talk to the listeners with a mic.

Greets,

Manuel

I am trying to do the same thing. I have icecast and ices running on the same machine. I can get everything working with one source (one instance of ices). I made a different config file for the second ices, when I run it it gives me the PID, but i cannot connect to the stream and when I run "ps -A" I can't find the PID. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Confused

not without knowing what you are trying to exactly, and what error messages you're gettings. Initially I would say that the mountpoints are the same.
