 Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2008 11:16 am Post subject: icecast saving bandwith |
 |
|
Hi I am a sysadmin and want to save a lot of bandwith by channeling some radio station through some sort of multicast thingy...
I was wondering if icecast is the way to go and how that might work..
I installed it on a debian server but didn't get it to work...
http://82.201.100.4/ is the stream I want to broadcast on our internal network whilst only having one download stream
Is this possible ??? |

we don't handle multicast, but you could configure icecast as a relay for your local lan. For instance you could configure an on-demand relay of a stream that your local listeners could use.

This is what my config looks like. It doens't work like this..
It looks like asif it doesn't know what to do with the stream stated below...
| Code: |
<icecast>
<limits>
<clients>100</clients>
<sources>2</sources>
<threadpool>5</threadpool>
<queue-size>524288</queue-size>
<client-timeout>30</client-timeout>
<header-timeout>15</header-timeout>
<source-timeout>10</source-timeout>
<burst-on-connect>1</burst-on-connect>

</limits>

looks like you received something very small, maybe a playlist, instead of a http stream.
