[Icecast-dev] multiple connection

[Yaniv Sharon]

I didn't pick up the data from the access file, just from the error file...

About players, I can't control what the "radio index" sites are doing with
my icecast streaming address,
But as far as I know from my experience, the players when they getting
"crazy" causing between 3-5 multiple connections for less than a 2 minutes.
Not a big issue.

The situation that I'm describing is very different, 20-30 (and once even
almost 40) "listeners" from the same IP, for a long time. Each "listener"
using true bandwidth.
The IP source is from Vietnam, Korea...i really think that abusing its what
I'm talking about. 
( What a mobile device will handle 30 instances for 20 minutes? )

Any idea to handle situation like that one?

Please have a look at the access.log. Is it a user of a mobile device?
Maybe you can give us the User Agent string.

Some of them seem to be horribly buggy. For whatever reason.

Have a nice day!
