Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

Hello,

So, I was wondering if there was any thoughts to create an option like buildm3u for file serving?

Was attempting to create a mount to a file and alias it to its directory. Then in the mount, use the url authenticator to protect it.

<mount>
<mount-name>/song.ogg</mount-name>
<authentication type="url">
<option name="listener_add" value="http://myserv/auth/action.php"/>
<option name="listener_remove" value="http://myserv/auth/action.php"/>
</authentication>
</mount>

<paths>
<alias source="/song.ogg" dest="/dir/dir/song.ogg"/>
</paths>


I use the following to auth a stream when I have a user currently logged into my site. http://myserv:8000/admin/buildm3u?username=test&password=test2&mount=/song.ogg

but, since a fileserve mount is not a true source, this will not work for serving files.

error_log:
[2006-03-11 15:49:08] WARN admin/admin_handle_request Admin command buildm3u on non-existent source /song.ogg
65.67.62.64 - - [11/Mar/2006:15:49:08 -0600] "GET /admin/buildm3u HTTP/1.1" 400 83 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)" 0

Any way to auth file server requests with passing username and password information without requiring user to type it in on the player pop-up?


Thanks for your time.

can you report that on bugs.xiph.org, the buildm3u is checking for a source before returning and as you say, that doesn't work for files.
