[Icecast] Icecast/ices problem

[Robert Muchnick]

Thanks for the suggestion. It turns out that debug for ices told me 
nothing but debug for icecast 2.2.0 showed that it was terminating the 
source at the same place in the playlist, apparently due to a lack of 
trailing metadata in one particular file -- icecast saw it as end of 
stream.

After checking code updates on the TRAC system, I installed the kh branch 
of icecast (kh13) and this seems to have fixed the spontaneous dropping of 
the mountpoint due to this particular file.

BTW, I tried icecast-2.2-kh14.tar.gz from mediacast1.com/~karl but it 
won't untar completely; it gives this:

. . .
icecast-2.2-kh14/doc/icecast2_admin.html
icecast-2.2-kh14/doc/icecast2_basicsetup.html
icecast-2.2-kh14/doc/icecast2_config_file.html

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

and won't configure.

However, icecast-2.2-kh13.tar.gz untarred just fine.
