 |
|
Hey guys,
I would like to restrict the number of users that can access my IceCast Server to conserve bandwith.
| Code: |
<clients>2</clients>
|
... no problem at all.
But has anybody a suggestion on how I could realise a bigger amount of users on my LAN / not restrict the number of users on LAN at all ?

The most simple way is to run 2 icecasts, one serving LAN listeners only, just have the external icecast relaying the internal icecast.

Thanks for your quick response.
Are there 2 sepparate Installations (OS=Windows Server) required in order to "run multiple icecasts" or is this possible otherwhise (via specific configuration) ?

Windows is more awkward but not impossible. The key element is getting to specify different xml files for each configuration. The GUI version is rather fixed in the way it runs because it looks for the icecast.xml in the current directory, you can run the console version like you would a unix version.
