Icecast Streaming Media Server

[noratx]

Hello!

After having used shoutcast on and off duing a few years, I have now started to look at icecast, but I need some help to clarify some things I don't understand or know how to set up.

At this moment, I have my server running 6 instances of sc_serv, all on different ports.
When I read that icecast can handle several streams with only one instance, I wanted to give it a try.

After looking through the config file, I just have no clue at all of how to configure ti for this purpose. Nor can I find a sufficient huid or example file for this anywhere.

Then I read about mountpoints....
as sc_serv uses one port/stream, I'd like to know both posibilities with icecast.
Can anyone give me an example config file, or at least what to write where, that describes both procedures.

native icecast source clients provide a mountpoint to icecast but native shoutcast ones do not. If you still want to use those source clients then you'll have to specify several ports so that each source client can connect and be allocated a mountpoint. eg

<listen-socket>
<port>8000</port>
<shoutcast-mount>/mystream</shoutcast-mount>
</listen-socket>
<listen-socket>
<port>8100</port>
<shoutcast-mount>/myotherstream</shoutcast-mount>
</listener-socket>

Fairly trivial really. listeners can then use 8000, 8100 etc to connect to any of those streams.

Hello karlH, and thank you for your reply.
I managed to get that to work, now it's just one more thing.

How do I make each user connect with their own password?
I tried with:

I just came across something else that is weird...

I'll post some of the configfile end explain underneath.

username for source clients by default is source but you can override it with <username>. You have the right idea on how you do mountpoint specific passwords but as to why the disconnection occurred I cannot say as I don't have access to your log files. The usual reason is auth mismatch but there could be other reasons.

I don't know what error code 10061 is, it's not an icecast error.

For some reason you seem to have a listen-socket defined for port 8201 when you should not. shoutcast-compat is an older setting which is not used when you use shoutcast-mount within a listen-socket.

Ah, ok, then I am atleast on the right way.

The logs doesn't give me much either, I have set the loglevel to 4, and tried to tail -f the logfile while connecting, but no entrys were made in the logs for some reason.

Would you be willing to check it out if I gave you access to the machine?

Regarding the listen socket on 8201 is because I read a "handbook" written by someone in this forum that mentioned it. So I was just testing.

if you don't get any entries then giving me access to view them will be pointless. rejections by icecast will be logged both in access and error log soif no entries are appearing them something else will be rejecting the connection, say a firewall

Well, there is actually a firewall in front, and I am behind nat (temporarily).
But yet, it works fine on the other ports.
