 |
|
Hi there,
i am a german student - please excuse my english.
Is it right that ices0 be equal to stream an mp3 Stream, but no Livestreaming (recording from the Line-In) to an icecast? And that ices2 be equal to stream an livestream, but only in the ogg-Format?
What schould i do, if i want an mp3-Livestream (from the Line-In) and use ices? I need a solution for an Ubuntu Server, with icecast...
I am glad for some answers an tips.
MfG deZerver |

That is the situation. mp3 is a non-free format, do you expect Xiph developers to add support for it? There are alternative solutions if you really require that but you'll have search for them.

I assume you mean you want to use ices on the server to stream music 24/7, and then want to switch to a live broadcast when its available:
You need to have two mount points to make this work; say the first is /ices.mp3 and the other is /live.mp3. For /ices.mp3, you just need to setup ices to use that mountpoint and keep it up at all times.
For /live.mp3 you have to add some config in Icecast's config file. You should set the fallback mount to /ices.mp3. Then you want to link your listeners to /live.mp3 at all times - when a live cast is not available, it invisibly switches to the ices stream.
See the common source clients sticky to find a client to send the live stream. |
