Icecast Streaming Media Server

Hey Guys i want to create a mout in the config file that has a username and password to be able to broadcast on it and then as we will be changing djs a lot we will need a fall back mout which has been setup on the server its self


can anyone help?

It sounds like you have a plan worked out, you can use any source client for the fallback mount, just make sure it's in a similar format to the main streams.

This is what i have but its not working this is inside the config file, what seems to be happing is when both sources are connected it goes stright to the fall back and wont even try the "Studio1/" mount but when the emergmout is disabled it goes to the studio1

understand what i mean so what am i doing wrong?

[karlH]

If /Studio1 is requested by the listener then it must be full, but check the error log then you should see that various actions take place (may need level 4).

whats level 4 ????

and how can it be full with 1999 listener base and its only me connected

[karlH]

when talking about logging and using level 4 I mean use <loglevel>4</.loglevel>

The xml fragment looks ok, but that alone is not enough to say what the issue is. Nearly every problem should involving looking at the log files to see what is going on.

i have uploaded the error log file to one of my ftp server.

ok lets try again...

heres the link for the current log file is of 20 seconds ago

The first thing that stands out is that loglevel is on 2 not 4 as suggested, the second is that you xml snippet shows

<mount-name>/Studio1</mount-name>

where the log file shows

[2008-08-21 17:03:52] INFO connection/connection.c Source logging in at mountpoint "/studio1"

so it looks like you have a case mismatch.

ok i changed it and now it wont stream i changed it at the encoder side to studio1 because it was Studio1 and now it dosent show up in the list and wont stream but the encoder will connect so then ok i went to the config file changed it to studio1 and went to the encoder and changed it to Studio1

in conclusion one has to be a capital for it to work and one needs to be lowercase they carn't be the same case

P.S Yes i added all the /'s

[karlH]

It didn't list because you told it not to, hidden is set to 1, no mount definition for a mountpoint means it's not hidden,.use one name and stick to it.

ok how come now the fall back isnt working what its doing now i its playing say 10 sends that was playing before the encoder dropped out and its not swapping over to the emergmount

[karlH]

you made various changes so you need to be clear on what the current situation is. The error log will report the events that are going on.

basically the fall back mount is no longer working since i changed that hidden field. can i ask for someone to re do the mount script so i have the main mount and then it will revert to what ever mount when the main mount goes offline please.. i think there is something wrong with this sript that i am using

[karlH]

You need to describe the problem better. "fallback mount is not working" is not enough for anyone to resolve, and there is nothing to indicate a hidden flag from one mountpoint can affect the failure of another mountpoint to stream or connect or work (depending on whatever not working means). Get your fallback mount working first then add the live stream.
