Icecast Streaming Media Server

[esheldon76]

I have my main stream up and working fine. I'd like to setup another stream for another format I'm trying to setup. Adding the extra port to the existing icecast.xml works fine, but I need to get reporting for both streams. So, is there a way to specify in the icecast.xml to report two different streams, or do I need to setup another instance of the Icecast server on my server, or is there another way to do this?

The options here can vary depending on factors not provided. Assuming an native icecast source client is used then you can specify a different mountpoint to refer to a different stream, no extra ports are needed in such cases as the client provides the mountpoint to use. If you are using shoutcast style source clients then you will need another set of ports as they don't provide a mountpoint (see shoutcast-mount). You can also, of course, use another icecast instance on the same server using a different port.

We use SimpleCast as our Encoding software. From there we push to Icecast. We push one stream to port 8083 and the other to 8086. I am at the point where I just want to see an "access.log" and "error.log" for both streams.

The logs will refer to both streams

Yes, I have the streams working to send the output to one "access.log" file, but I'm asking is there a way to output one stream/port to one "access.log" file, and the other stream/port to another "access.log" file?

[karlH]

no, but then a simple grep (pattern match) will achieve a split in the log.

Thank you for your help. I have this portion working well enough.
