[Icecast] some help

[Geoff Shang]

Hi:

I can see two problems.

First, you've used 127.0.0.1 as the hostname in the icecast config.  this 
will only work for anyone using the local machine to listen, if you use the 
inbuilt m3u generation.  To illustrate:

Someone calls your server with:

http://yourserver.com:8000/mystream.ogg.m3u

They'll get an m3u file back looking like this:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/mystream.ogg


which won't do them any good since 127.0.0.1 will *always* reach the same 
machine that called it.

The other problem is that you have two encode sections defined.  If your 
intention is to have two streams, then you need two <instance> blocks, 
since ices needs to know where to send each stream.  Also, there's no need 
to define both nominal bitrate and quality, one or the other will do just 
fine.

Hope this helps,
Geoff.
