hi some time ago i was using icecast 2.3.1 and everything worked fine but i updated icecast to 2.3-kh32 (win32) and took icecast.xml from old icecast and fallback feature doen`t work. Is it a bug or i have to write smth new in icecast.xml?
and doesn`t work shoutcast compact feature it connects but it connects with /stream.m3u
here is icecast.xml

Try setting the shoutcast-mount before the listen-sockets. A new feature is the ability to define multiple sockets for different shoutcast style source clients and that means the sockets knowing about the shoutcast-mount before setting the socket details. You can define the shoutcast-mount in the <listen-socket> itself as well which implicitly defines the second listen-socket.

The default is /stream which is why the <mount> is not getting matched and therefore the fallback isn't applying.

The original poster had a problem because the global shoutcast-mount was set after the listen-socket block so the name taken was the default /stream which therefore did not match the <mount> setting.

In your case, you have the shoutcast-mount in the listen-socket section (a post 2.3.1 feature) but you are defining too much for it. You want something like the following

<listen-socket>
<port>7050</port>
<shoutcast-mount>/audio_source</shoutcast-mount>
<listen-socket>

<listen-socket>
<port>7250</port>
<shoutcast-mount>/playlist</shoutcast-mount>
<listen-socket>


Using the 2 blocks above will define 4 ports, 7050 and 7250 are both normal http style ports which listeners can connect on. But each shoutcast dsp uses 2 ports, so one user 7050/7051 and the other uses 7250/7251. No shoutcast-compat is needed.

Ok thx for reply. In my way it was a problem with the filesystem rights. For me it looks like icecast will create the dir /playlist at the /web dir. when i created this dir the error was that this dir exist. After i've changed the right my config will work fine. And i found the KH build at this forum, so i'm using the same version at the old server.

Now everything if good for me, thanks to all workers of icecast!
