Icecast Streaming Media Server

[Anonymous]

At the moment it is possible to do several things webbased, move listener, kill listener or kill source. When you select the kill source button, you see a link to.....killsource.xsl?mount=.... But where can I find that file? How do I change this file or command?

I'd like to start and stop the source client webbased. I use darkice as sourceclient for live streaming via the soundcard. Because we broadcast only some hours a week and record the stream, I don't want to let it stream the whole time.

On the commandline I can start darkice with:
darkice -c usr/local/etc/darkice.cfg &

and stop with:
pkill darkice

But it would be much nicer to do this also webbased. How can I add another button and command to the standard xsl file so I can start the sourceclient?

Or is there another way or application to do this? I choose for darkice because we want MP3 streaming from a soundcard source. Darksnow is not an option, then we stil have to do the changes on the linuxserver.

I hope someone can help me.

Kind regards, Marc

You can't just add an xsl file to get some icecast command functionality, it needs some internal changes as well. If you want to start a source client, then you have to decide what the trigger is, you could do this via a manual startup via a web page to some php for instance, the other way is automatically when someone selects the stream. The latter case would require some clever backend handling hooked in via the auth url handler to check if the stream is running and start a source client before accepting the listener.
