[Icecast-dev] Proxy

[Yaniv Sharon]

Well, it's not good news...

All started because now I have machine with icecast service on port 80,
And I want to serve also HLS files on the same port 80.

So my thought was to operate icecast on port 8000 (and the studio sources broadcasting to there directly)
And Nginx will proxy the icecast on port 80 for the listeners.

What gave me the confidence to thought about it, was the fact that I understand that "Centova" itself using Nginx proxy...
Now after I understand from you guys that icecast will not love to work with proxy,
What I can actually do to perform the solution that I want?

Icecast does not support being reverse proxied and things like playlists and displaying the clients correct IP address will not work.
Furthermore reverse proxying can lead to performance issues as most web servers are not primarily designed to be a streaming server like Icecast is.

Feel free to play around with it, but please keep in mind that things might not work as expected.
