Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am using Icecast v2.3 with Sam Broadcaster v3

In SAM I have setup the encoder mount to be /mymusic

In the Icecast.xml I have done the the following:

<mount>
<mount-name>/mymusic</mount-name>
<authentication type="htpasswd">
<option name="filename" value="myauth"/>
<option name="allow_duplicate_users" value="0"/>
</authentication>
</mount>

Now when I enter the Admin section of Icecast I could play my stream fine through Winamp. But it does not first ask me the enter a password.

The Icecast help documentation said that I should see a red key beside the name of my stream - but there is no key.

What in the Heeezeee am I doing wrong?

I know you guys must get this question a thousand times - so appologize in advance.

Thx.

Not really, this sort of thing just works. The key icon mentioned should be on the status.xsl page, admin pages are differemt and don't forget that your browser caches the user/password. My initial guess would be that the <mount> is commented out.
