Icecast Streaming Media Server

[rec91402]

I am looking to do a pull relay form a source

In IC1 you could

alias somesource http://1.2.3.4:8000

This would then connect any one who when to my server:port/somesource to the http://1.2.3.4:8000 stream.

I've looked at relays but it wants: Passwords, user names, mount points.

None of this exists, just the MP3 stream from this source, http://1.2.3.4:8000

Yes, the person(s) providing the source are fine with the server pulling in a client connection to stream to others. They can not change the setup at this time to go direct to an IC2 server.

Is this type or alias/pull relay no longer possible?

Thanks!

hi there

I'm not quite following you here, but I'll trey to suggest in case it helps

in Icecast 2.3.2 you can assign a <relay> tag where the relay will log into.. then have that tag as a fallback to a <mount> tag.. thsi will let the relay "log in" as needed to a main mount.. or, just as a mount all by itself..

If I'm going in the right direction here, let me know and I can post more detailed instructions

on second thought:

heres an example:

<listen-socket>

<port>8000</port>
<bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address>

</listen-socket>

<relay>

<server>http://1.2.3.4</server>
<port>8000</port>
<mount>/</mount>
<local-mount>/</local-mount>
<on-demand>1</on-demand>
<relay-shoutcast-metadata>1</relay-shoutcast-metadata>
<no-yp>1</no-yp>
<hidden>0</hidden>
<public>1</public>

</relay>

let me know if this helps

relays in icecast2 are pull relays, the fact that you have an address to work from like http://1.2.3.4:8000/ means you have the 3 basic things, an address (1.2.3.4), a port (8000) and a mount (/). Whether you want/need to supply other settings depends on your situation, but it sounds like username/password are not required and local-mount defaults to mount if not specified which may be something to change if you don't want to have / as the mountpoint.
