</listen-socket>
<mount>
<mount-name>/new.ogg</mount-name>
<max-listeners>3</max-listeners>
<hidden>1</hidden>
<no-yp>1</no-yp>

I think a slight misunderstanding occurred. The directory tag block is not within a <mount> block, those tags are above outside of <mount>. In the samples we ship they are commented out with <!-- and --> The hidden setting does not affect directory listing, only whether is shows on the public xsl pages

obviously that is not the whole xml, as there is no hostname specified, but send me the error log of icecast starting and the streams starting up.

Hi Karl

I sent you the whole file and also the error file if there is anything else you need to see tell me... thanks

[karlH]

the log sent shows the server starting and identifying that out directory would be used, but no stream is available so in those cases no listing is done. Only when you provide a public stream will an attempt be made.
