Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Guitarmankev1]

Hi everybody.

My setup is Winamp with the Edcast plugin and Icecast2. Up until recently, everything was working fine, but now something suspicious is happening. When I start up Winamp, I can tell Edcast to connect and it will, but Icecast doesn't even have to be open. Also, when I do open Icecast and then connect Edcast, Icecast does not reflect the source connection.

It seems as though Icecast is not being considered at all in the setup, since I can still connect to http://localhost:8000/status.xsl, and it will give me all of the information on the stream, even when Icecast is not open. I find this odd because pointing my browser at that url gives me a large "Icecast2 Status" title at the top.

When I point my browser at http://localhost:8000/admin/, it will tell me that one or two clients are connected, and the number of connections increases by about 5 per second.

I wouldn't mind all of this confusion so much if I could still broadcast on my ip, but unlike before, http://71.192.192.34:8000/CYMR.ogg returns nothing.

Thanks everybody!
Kevin

there will need to be an icecast process running for any requests to be answered, even if it's not the gui, eg the win32 service.
