Already done in 2.5.x :)

Same here, already done in 2.5.x. :)

In <security> use something like:

<tls-context>
    <tls-certificate>/bla/cert.pem</tls-certificate>
    <tls-key>/bla/key.pem</tls-key>
</tls-context>

This hardly makes sense. What should Icecast do here? Icecast does
*not* process signals. So it can not do any mixing.

There are several options here. It depends a bit on your needs and
version. Generally everything you see in admin interface is accessible
via API. (Just remove the .xsl from the path.) Actually the admin
interface is build ontop of the API. So it could not list anything that
is not in the API even if it wanted to. :)


Hope that points you into the general direction.

With best regards,
