Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

Shoutcast has (and it appears that Icecast 1 had it too) an option to supply a streamtitle template, so you could append a string to the title:

[MyRadioName] %s
would give
[MyRadioName] some artist - some title

I can't seem to find such feature on Icecast2, it isn't documented and a google search gave me results of Icecast1 configurations, is it possible in icecast2? if it isn't is there a way to hardcode it then?

PS: no, setting it in a source client isn't what i need, as I am trying to implement the icecast server configuration in a web service.

karl, would you plan to implement this feature? it's very useful and seems not so hard to code

hmm, I suppose the stream-name setting in mount could be used to override the http header from the source client in format_prepare_headers. You have a patch?

We are looking for some way to modify the title streaming in Icecast2. We would like to override the source and specify what actually gets streamed to clients. For example, say we want the name of station, followed by song title to stream. Is there a way to set this in Icecast2 yet?
