Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

I've got an icecast server that's currently running 3 streams, and has its own domain. I'd like to be able to connect to just http://mydomain.com/ rather than http://mydomain.com/stream1, but I can't seem to get it to work.

I've tried both specifying <mount-name>/</mount-name> and <mount-name></mount-name> in mount specifications, but while icecast seems to notice that there is something there (I don't get a 404, unlike connecting to http://mydomain.com/nostreamhere), I get a synchronisation failure (I'm using WinAmp as a test player).

Can icecast handle / as a mount name? If not, is it possible to have a catch-all mount that I could use to catch any 404'd stream, including / ?

You can have a mount point of / but note that the default icecast xml has an alias of / to /status.xsl so that would redirect any listeners. You either need to remove that line or add an extra setting to make it only apply on a port which is not 80.

A catch-all mountpoint is only available in my branch work not in trunk or 2.3.1

Thank you!

That explains a number of things, and it now works beautifully.
