Icecast Streaming Media Server

I'm curious if it's possible to use the listener_remove option w/o using the listener_add option.

The reason I'm asking on this is because I'm considering a feature for my XOOPS module that won't require authentication against the website for a public stream, but could send back some accounting information when a listener disconnects.

If this is possible, it might also be good to send the useragent and ip in the remove request as well. If not, it's no big deal.

The triggers for auth url are independent, so you can use listen remove only. The two pieces of data that you mentioned are not in the POST for listener_remove but if there is call for them then it can be added.

Interestingly, I can't seem to make this work w/ 2.3.2.

If I use listener_add, I can get the accounting data fine, but not if I omit that option.

You're saying that your listener_remove url is issued when listener_add is defined but not when listener_add is removed. If so then you need to provide information about the setup, xml settings, logs. At least then we'll know what issues are involved instead of just a useless "not working" type statement.

Yeah ... I guess that kind of debugging info would be helpful.

The specific problem is with mountpoint /rgr-64k.aacp which isn't sending anything back. Mountpoint /rgr-64k.ogg works fine.

Here is the XML config ... PWs/IPs changed:

so I guess this is win32. The odd thing that stands out is that the log does not match the xml, you have log level 4 but no DBUG lines in the error log. I also don't see and "auth on /rgr-64k.aacp has X pending" like to have on th ogg mountpoint., which tells me that icecast doesn't have authentication for that mountpoint. Be absolutely sure that you have the correct xml and that you have restarted icecast after saving the changes.

Sure enough, I did forget to restart.

In this snippet, I log into rgr-64k.aacp, and then follow that up with moving to the ogg mount:

ok, it's confirmed, there is an issue with listener_remove only setups. the listener_add needs to be defined for the auth to be referenced. As a workaround you can define a listener_add url to return the required header to always accept the incoming listener (they are still subject to other limits like max-listeners).

I think I have a fairly simple patch for this but I want to check a couple of things first, but if you use the kh tree then that should be working as the auth is handled differently there.
