Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hello !

I have a webtv streaming in nsv and I would like to have only the audio part on another port to give access to it as a simple webradio.

I tryed to relay the tv but I allways got audio and video

do you know how it can be possible ?

thank you !

You cannot filter the NSV content within icecast as it has no knowledge about that container and its codecs. There is an option in the kh build for filtering out theora for a ogg theora/vorbis stream which some have used.

thank you that's what I was affraid of

I thought to try an old icecast server version to do the relay, hopping it will "reconized" only audio to relay ... what do you think ?

Again it won't work. To do any sort of filtering you need to have the knowledge on how to identify the data you want or don't want. As icecast does not actually have mp3/aac/nsv support then it cannot filter it. Those non-free codecs work because they can pass through without modification. The only way is to use a separate application that reads from one stream and filters much as a stream transcoder does with reencoding.
