Hi!
The icecast-server seems to work though I didn't manage to play music:
This is my config file for the intended playlist:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ices>
<background>0</background> <!-- run in background? (unimplemented) -->
<logpath>/tmp</logpath> <!-- where logs, etc go. -->
<logfile>ices.log</logfile>
<loglevel>4</loglevel> <!-- 1=error,2=warn,3=info,4=debug -->
<consolelog>0</consolelog> <!-- set this to 1 to log to the console instead
of to the file above -->
<stream>
<!-- metadata used for stream listing (not currently used) -->
<metadata>
<name>Example stream name</name>
<genre>Example genre</genre>
<description>A short description of your stream</description>
</metadata>
<!-- input module
This defines where the data (raw PCM, vorbis files, etc.) comes
from. The module used here is the playlist module - it has
'submodules' for different types of playlist. The only one
currently implemented is 'basic', which is a simple file-based
playlist
-->
<input>
<module>playlist</module>
<param name="type">basic</param><!-- Only 'basic' implemented -->
<param name="file">playlist.txt</param> <!-- be sure this exists -->
<param name="random">0</param> <!-- random play -->
<param name="once">0</param> <!-- if set to 1 , plays once through,
then exits. -->
</input>
<!-- Stream instance
You may have one or more instances here. This allows you to
send the same input data to one or more servers (or to different
mountpoints on the same server). Each of them can have different
parameters. This is primarily useful for a) relaying to multiple
independent servers, and b) encoding/reencoding to multiple
bitrates.
If one instance fails (for example, the associated server goes
down, etc), the others will continue to function correctly.
This example defines two instances as two mountpoints on the
same server.
-->
<instance>
<!-- Server details:
You define hostname and port for the server here, along with
the source password and mountpoint.
-->
<hostname>localhost</hostname>
<port>8000</port>
<password>hackme</password>
<mount>/example1.ogg</mount>
<!-- Reconnect parameters:
When something goes wrong (e.g. the server crashes, or the
network drops) and ices disconnects from the server, these
control how often it tries to reconnect, and how many times
it tries to reconnect. Delay is in seconds.
If you set reconnectattempts to -1, it will continue
indefinately. Suggest setting reconnectdelay to a large value
if you do this.
-->
<reconnectdelay>2</reconnectdelay>
<reconnectattempts>5</reconnectattempts>
<!-- maxqueuelength:
This describes how long the internal data queues may be. This
basically lets you control how much data gets buffered before
ices decides it can't send to the server fast enough, and
either shuts down or flushes the queue (dropping the data)
and continues.
For advanced users only.
-->
<maxqueuelength>80</maxqueuelength>
<!-- Live encoding/reencoding:
Currrently, the parameters given here for encoding MUST
match the input data for channels and sample rate. That
restriction will be relaxed in the future.
-->
<encode>
<nominal-bitrate>64000</nominal-bitrate> <!-- bps. e.g. 64000 for 64 kbps -->
<samplerate>44100</samplerate>
<channels>2</channels>
</encode>
</instance>
<!-- Now, we define a 2nd stream instance.
Here, we only define the basic server parameters - everything
else takes the default values.
No reencoding is done.
-->
<instance>
<hostname>localhost</hostname>
<port>8000</port>
<password>hackme</password>
<mount>/example2.ogg</mount>
<!-- Stream saving. Save the outgoing stream to the specified file
This is commented out since we don't want it by default -->
<!--
<savefile>streamdump.ogg</savefile>
-->
</instance>
</stream>
</ices>
The playlist.txt contains just one song: ten.mp3
Checking the logs the server is started correctly, but if I try to connect via winamp I get the following:
"GET / example1.ogg HTTP/1.1" 404 109 "-" "Winamp" 0
And winamp doesn't play anything.
I'm really confused with all the config-files for icecast and ices, so pointing me in the right direction would be nice.
thx in advance
