Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hello. I use VLC to transcode mms stream to mp3 and send it to icecast.
I want to execute vlc only when somebody try to listen, and when there are no listeners, vlc should to stop.
My config:

icecast will supply a mountpoint arg to the script, you don't embed it into the name like you have specified.You would need to place that in a script that calls vlc_init

It's not clear from your description if vlc is supped to create the stream on localhost:8001/ , if so then the script won't run as the stream doesn't exist to start with. You could use auth url listener_add as the trigger instead.

Thanks, listener_add works But can i use it without authentication? For example, winamp requests login and password when i try to listen...

The code in icecast for listener_add does not require a username and password, your script however can require whatever it likes. As long as you send back the header to accept a listener then your script can do whatever it likes.
