Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone. Just started my Icecast broadcast and for some reason its not listed in the Stream directory. I am able to listen to broadcast on Winamp and WMP. I am using the Orban encoder PC-1010 for the 32k aacp stream and Winamp 5.35 player for my playlist.

stream Winamp: http://192.168.1.2:8000/stream.aacp
WMP (Orban Plugin): icyx:192.168.1.2:8000/stream.aacp

Here is the Icecast config:

<icecast>

<source-timeout>10</source-timeout>
<!-- If enabled, this will provide a burst of data when a

client
first connects, thereby significantly reducing the startup
time for listeners that do substantial buffering. However,
it also significantly increases latency between the source
client and listening client. For low-latency setups, you
might want to disable this. -->
<burst-on-connect>1</burst-on-connect>
<!-- same as burst-on-connect, but this allows for being more
specific on how much to burst. Most people won't need to
change from the default 64k. Applies to all mountpoints

If someone see's that I have config something wrong, help me out.

Thanks,

I see 2 things wrong in the xml relating to the stream directory not listing the stream.

1. your icecast is not aware of the directory server as you have the entries commented out. BTW oddcast YP is no more.
2. 192.168.x.x is a private address, no internet listener is going to find you with that hostname.
