Subject: [Icecast] url authentication problems
Message-ID: <01f901c62705$1f95ab60$4f6510ac@in.telecom.lt>

strange processes are happening while trying to authenticate via url using (icecastauth-examle-1.0)
i'm using user "test" and password "test". I'm opening http://10.10.10.10:8000/Test.m3u with winamp 5.1. 
This user(test) exists in mysql database, and action.php suscessfuly extracts that user from database.

here's what I receive in icecast error log:
2006-01-29  15:32:30] INFO auth_url/url_add_client client auth (http://10.10.10.10/auth/action.php) failed with ""

and apache's httpd-error.log says:
[Sun Jan 29 15:32:30 2006] [error] [client 10.10.10.10] user  not found: /auth/action.php
[Sun Jan 29 15:32:30 2006] [error] [client 10.10.10.10] user test not found: /auth/action.php

it is strange that "" (empty) user also seems try to authenticate.

below is the dump of tcp session:

I didn't find any docs on that, how to execute a command upon stream
start/end?

the docs on streamTranscoder are a little rare also ;)
what exactly does streamTranscoder:
serving one multiple bandwidth stream (like havong one stream on server
and when client clicks on it it just measures bandwidth and serves the
highest possible quality) in just one mountpoint?
or
serving multiple streams with multiple encoding & qualities, just as
configured?

What bothers me most, is that streamTranscoder seems to connect to just
one server getting the stream and delivering to the same.
So if icecast serves a stream, on stream-start streamTranscoder
re-encodes the stream and delivers it to the same server:port, how to
avoid a loop of re-encoding & re-delivering the same stream over and
over again?

thanx and regards,
kloschi

Hey Guys, 
 
I've been working on Icecast 2.3.1 on my test server (Virtual Server-win2k3)
And I am not able to get either stream transcoder v3 or v1.25/6 (whatever
the current dos one is) to work on it.
 
Also, there is a problem with the people from the game secondlife, they also
cannot connect to the server to listen to it.
 
Has something changed in the latest configuration?  I've gone over the
Config a few times, and I'm not seeing anything different with it.
 
Thanks!

Nothing is different based on what you have described, some other 
information like what happens when a listener tries to connect or what 
happens when streamtrancoder connects will be informative. It's not 
clear whether the status.xsl page shows nor what the logs state.

As I say, I've not used it, but I think there are some comments or at least 
some examples in the sample config files which come with Icecast.  Note 
that this is either an Icecast 2.3 or 2.3.1 feature, it's pretty new.

It transcodes according to how you configure it.  What you describe above 
would theoretically be possible once someone implements bitrate pealing in 
Vorbis.

No.  I've not used the latest version, but versions up to 1.2.x listen to a 
stream, encode to whatever you specify, then send it where you specify. 
That could be a different mountpoint on the same server, or somewhere else 
entirely.  It can even listen to your sound card, though I've not tried 
this either.  It does not send it back to the same place where it got it 
from, it can't anyway since it wouldn't be able to connect.

Note that versions I've used take one input stream and deliver one output 
stream only.  If you want more than one transcode of a stream, you need to 
use multiple instances.  Whether this has changed in recent versions I do 
not know.

Geoff.

Hi,

Now that I've been able to look at streamtranscoder 3.0, I see there's 
absolutely no documentation whatsoever.  I've not compiled it, but I note 
that previously when you ran it first time, it would create a sample config 
file for you to edit.  Maybe it still does this.

Oddsock's flash demo may shed more light on this, but I can't use it so 
don't know.

Geoff.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.  Ices2 only streams in Ogg Vorbis, 
and won't ever stream in MP3.  There are other programs which can do this, 
depending on whether you want to stream live content or MP3 files.

Perhaps we could help you further if you tell us *exactly* what you want to 
do, including which operating systems are involved.  Chances are that 
something has already been written that will do what you want, or at least 
something that will make your job easier.

Cheers,
Geoff.

Hi again,

Ok, for the benefit of others wanting to use streamtranscoder V3.0 at the 
command line.  I assume the GUI version is more intuitive.

1.  (if appropriate) Download and compile the source.  You'll need at least 
one of faac, lame, mad, and ogg+flac or ogg+vorbis, at least two in some 
cases.  Which you need will depend on what you want to do.

2.  Run streamTranscoderv3.  It will create streamTranscoder_0.cfg

3.  You will ultimately need to edit streamTranscoder_0.cfg so that it 
knows where to get your source stream.  Whether you do that now or later is 
up to you.  What you *do* need to do is edit streamTranscoder_0.cfg and 
change the last line to the number of encoders you want to have.

4.  Run streamTranscoderv3 again.  This time it will make the .cfg and .log 
files associated with each encoder you asked for (e.g. if you want 1 
encoder, it'll create streamTranscoder_1.cfg and streamTranscoder_1.log).

5.  Edit your streamTranscoder_*.cfg files to suit you.

6.  Run streamtranscoderv3 again, this time with optionally either the -b 
or -n switches as desired, and sit back and enjoy.

(Note: I've only done up to step 4, so can't vouch for the rest.

The big change from previous versions of course, apart from the fact that 
reconect logic has been put back in (and it's independently setable you'll 
notice), is that you now have the ability to use multiple encoders.  I like 
this a lot.

Geoff.

What you want to do can't be done.  You can't have Ogg Vorbis and MP3 audio 
in the same stream.  The reason is simple.  Once you start listening to a 
stream, the decoder for that format is launched and decodes the stream. 
there is no opportunity for the opening of another decoder to decode 
another codec.

You could end the current stream and start another, but the player would 
have to know what to do when the first stream ended so it could pick up the 
second one.  And since some players are not intelligent enough to look at 
the MIME type, not all players would cope with just being put on repeat.

I guess it could be done if someone decided to implement MP3 in Ogg, but I 
doubt that anyone's interested in doing that.  And then you'd need a player 
which would be able to play it.

If you don't want to reencode at all, rerip your audio as all one format or 
the other and use either Ices or EZStream to send it.  Otherwise you'll 
have to reencode on the fly.  Sorry, but they are your only two options as 
far as I can see it.

Geoff.

Hello together,

we would like to use IceCast 2.3.1 as a mp3 streamer source for
reencoding several sources of ices 0.4.

It is working perfectly already by using an mp3 playlist with local
stored mp3s. But our plan is to upload an 160 kbps stream and want ices
0.4 to reencode to 96, 56 and 32 kbps. Uploading 1 getting 4 streams.

We are streaming with SAM Broadcaster 2.
Icecast runs on SuSE 9.3 64 bits version.

Thank you in advance!

Carsten

I assume you want to do this in real time (i.e. you want 4 streams at the 
same time as your SAM broadcast is done).

You might be able to get Ices to do this, but it'd probably be a lot easier 
to use Oddsock's stream transcoder 
(http://www.oddsock.org/tools/streamTranscoderV3) which is designed for 
this sort of thing.

Stream transcoder V3 seems to have no documentation.  If you missed my 
quick guide on how to get started with it that I posted yesterday, 
basically you do the following after installing it.

1. Run streamtranscoderv3

2.  Edit the generated config file so that the number of encoders is set 
correctly (3 in your case).

3.  Run it again.

4.  Edit all config files as required.

5.  Run it again and it should work.

thank you, for your fast answer. my problem with ogg is, that the

unfortunately.

That is true.  You need to have your listeners install the Illuminable
Ogg DirectShow filters.  This is very simple to do.  Just put links to
the download on your website.

Illuminable Website: http://www.illiminable.com/ogg
Filter download: http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/oggcodecs_0.69.8924.exe

This supports Ogg Vorbis audio and Ogg Theora video.

Regards,
Ross.

What you want to do can't be done.  You can't have Ogg Vorbis and MP3 audio 
in the same stream.  The reason is simple.  Once you start listening to a 
stream, the decoder for that format is launched and decodes the stream. 
there is no opportunity for the opening of another decoder to decode 
another codec.

You could end the current stream and start another, but the player would 
have to know what to do when the first stream ended so it could pick up the 
second one.  And since some players are not intelligent enough to look at 
the MIME type, not all players would cope with just being put on repeat.

I guess it could be done if someone decided to implement MP3 in Ogg, but I 
doubt that anyone's interested in doing that.  And then you'd need a player 
which would be able to play it.

If you don't want to reencode at all, rerip your audio as all one format or 
the other and use either Ices or EZStream to send it.  Otherwise you'll 
have to reencode on the fly.  Sorry, but they are your only two options as 
far as I can see it.

Geoff.

Well, for starters, I think the "license problem" would be a major issue in 
trying to do this.  But apart from that, Windows Media streaming uses its 
own proprietory protocol (mms).  So someone would have to implement that 
before you could do anything else.

As far as I know, there are no unix programs at all that can do anything 
with Windows Media apart from decode it, and I doubt there's anyone 
interested in developing any.

Geoff.

streamtranscoder will do MP3.  You will need libmad and lame installed for 
this to work.  And no, you don't need a soundcard.

Can a developer or some other Xiph person answer this?  I don't appear to 
be getting my point across.  You'll have to Cc him because he's not

I don't actually know if there is a license problem with implementing 
WMA. Whether there is or not, WMA/WMV needs special handling for the 
format and/or mms protocol, which we are not inclined (and certainly not 
paid) to do, we are a Xiph project after all.

I am providing a machine to a client that will be connecting to an existing Icecast stream that is working just fine.  But the client will be connecting from behind a firewall.  They need to inform their IT department what ports need to be open for proper operation.

Running ethereal, I see the client machine using ports that vary with each connection in the range of 32782 upwards to 32827 over just 3 times connecting then disconnecting.  Of course it always connects to 8000 on the server.

Do I need to tell them to open some specific range of ports in order for the system to work?  I have already asked for port 22 to be open for an SSH connection for maintenance.  But what for the streaming connection?

Thanks for any help.

Icecast only ever uses the ports you've explicitly configured it to
use (port 8000, in your case), that's all that will need to be open.

The client port numbers don't matter in this case - they're allocated
by the client itself (actually, usually by the operating system,
pseudo-randomly) when the client starts to connect to the server, but
the firewall won't need those open.

Hi,

hmmm.  You'll need to use something that allows you to have two instances 
of itself, and also allows you to select soundcards.  I know the new 
Oddcast V3 will allow you to choose which soundcard you wish to use, 
however I don't know if the standalone version will let you run two 
instances.  Maybe a standalone instance and a plugin one, or say two 
separate installs of Winamp with corrisponding Oddcasts - but that's 
probably at the bottom of what I'd suggest.

Geoff.

The only issue I had with doing that is each time I reopened the copies I 
had to reset the sound card info in Oddcast because they are going back to 
the primary card set in windows.

Hmm maybe Mr. oddsock can make a dual version 2 encoders in 1 program so you 
wouldn't need to run 2 copies, and be able to feed 1 encoder to the left 
channel and 1 encoder to the right.

Hello.
I am new to this forum and relatively new to Icecast. I have set up and
Icecast broadcast from my computer using Winamp as the playlist and the SAM
Encoders to encode to WMA. The broadcast is running perfectly. The only
issue is when I create an ASX file that links to my broadcast, it shows my
IP address as the title of the broadcast. What do I need to do to change
this to a name of my choice?

Thank you.

uh.  No you're not.  Icecast2 doesn't handle WMA, or at least not WMA over 
MMS.  Whether or not there's a spec for WMA over HTTP I don't know, but I 
doubt it.  Of course, the SAM people might be mangling it and allowing you 
to do this or at least try, but my guess is that you're probably streaming 
MP3.

Can't answer this.  If it *is* MP3 you're sending, my recollection is that 
Windows Media player only has partial support for titles, etc.

I assume you've set a stream title in your streaming plugin?

I think that SAM streams WMA via both "push" and "pull".  In the 
"pull" case, listeners connect directly to the SAM encoder, 
alternatively you can configure a Windows Media Server to "pull" from 
your SAM encoder and then have listeners attach to that.  "Push" 
means SAM will send the WMA stream to a supported media server, which 
I think only happens to be the Windows Media Server.  Either way, as 
Geoff already said, Icecast doesn't play a part in any of this WMA 
streaming (push or pull), and so your question is not related to 
icecast at all, but rather simply WMA streaming.  I doubt you'll get 
much more help that I just gave on how to do WMA streaming from this list.

perhaps you can try the SAM forums ?

Hi Geoff,


   Thanks for Your reply. We are not able understand How to config Source
point and what is the differences between admin and source because here in
this document we are entering separate password for admin and source. If
admin means ICECAST admin then I don't have any user name or password for my
ICECAST server which is installed in my system. We are not able understand
what is meant by relay user?  What is meant by YP Directory Settings? How it
is useful to our server and what are functions of YP Directory Settings.



            In this document all commands are in Linux based only, that is
confusing us because we are using windows. How listener receives the voice
or music from us.



            Can you please guide us and help to config the server. If you
have any sample files which is works windows XP pro please send it.



Waiting for your reply



Thanks in advance



Kind regards,

Tamil.

If you mean mountpoint, you might not need or want to do anything with it.

The admin username and password are the username and password that a user 
has to enter when wanting to administer your server, done by going to 
http://<server>:<port>/admin/<a template in your admin dir>.

> We are not able understand
> what is meant by relay user?

There are two types of relaying that can be done, individual streams and 
entire server relaying.  An individual stream relay just works like any 
other listener.  If you want an Icecast server to relay all the streams on 
another Icecast server, you can put the slave into server relay mode, and 
to do this it needs to provide the relay password.  I actually thought that 
there was only a password but maybe there's a username too.  Anyway, that's 
what that is for.

> What is meant by YP Directory Settings? How it
> is useful to our server and what are functions of YP Directory Settings.

A YP directory is a site where streams are listed.  An example of an 
Icecast YP directory is http://dir.xiph.org

There is a chapter on Windows down near the bottom.

For a listener to hear your stream, they either need to enter the direct 
server URL of your stream into the Open Location box of their player, or 
they need to click on a link on your website which contains this URL.  The 
latter case is more common.  So say you had a stream on the mountpoint 
/mystream.ogg, and your server is on server.com on port 8000.  Then you'd 
make a .m3u file containing:

http://server.com:8000/mystream.ogg

and place a link to it on your website.  All things being equal, a listener 
would click on this link, the .m3u file would download and launch the 
appropriate player, which would open the M3U file and begin streaming your 
audio.

The config file is the same for either Win32 or *nix, though a couple of 
things in the file don't apply to Windows.

Perhaps if you tell us in more detail what it is you want to do, I can be 
more helpful.

Geoff.

Hi Geoff,

     Thanks Geoff, We are currectly working in Asp.Net 1.1.  We want to do 2
tasks.

Tasks:

   1. Actually we are having MP3 file which is in server (Eg.
   www.myserver.com/admin/music/myvoice.mp3 ). When user hit the url they
   want to get the music with streaming.
   2. We want to give live voice streaming to users (Eg: Live Cricket
   Commentary). When user is in our web page , they have to hear live voice or
   some how they want to hear live voice with streaming.

Waiting for your reply



Thanks in advance



Kind regards,
Tamil.

Ok.  You don't really need Icecast for this, you can just stream it off 
your webserver.

1.  Create a .m3u file with the URL of your file.  Using your example 
above, it would contain:

http://www.myserver.com/admin/music/myvoice.mp3

For the sake of this example, lets put it in the same place and call it 
myvoice.m3u.

2.  Place a link to this m3u file on your server:

<A HREF="http://www.myserver.com/admin/music/myvoice.m3u">Click to 
listen</A>

3.  Try it out.  It should load a user's default MP3 player and stream the 
file from the beginning.  This means that if you want modem listeners to be 
able to listen to it, best to encode the file to something like 24kbps.

Note that people using Icecast who don't have a webserver can use Icecast 
as one by using the fileserve feature.  Just set fileserve to 1 in the 
config file and place the files you want to serve in the directory you 
configure as your webroot directory.

Ok, here's where you need Icecast.

As far as your website is concerned, you do the same thing.  Create a .m3u 
file with a link to the stream (i.e. http://myserver.com:8000/cricket)

Note that Icecast can automatically generate these for you, if you place a 
link to your stream with .m3u on the end.  e.g. 
<A HREF="http://myserver.com:8000/cricket.m3u">click here to listen</A> 
would return the above URL in a .m3u playlist file.

For this to work properly the "hostname" item in the config file must be 
set correctly.  (see below)

Below are very basic instructions on how to get a stream up on Icecast. 
This assumes you want to use the same password for all streams and no 
listener authentication.  Obviously you can make it a lot more complicated 
than this, with authentication schemes, different streams with different 
source passwords, etc.  But lets keep it basic for now.

I believe you can edit the config file using the GUI in the Windows version 
of Icecast.  but I have no experience doing this and so will talk about 
editing the conf file with a text editor like Notepad.

I'm going to go through the minimal config which is supplied with Icecast. 
In the unix distribution I have, it's called icecast_minimal.xml and is 
meant to be simple to set up.

1.  Open the Icecast configuration file.  I've never used the Windows 
version so I don't know where it lives.  But it sounds like you've already 
looked at it.

2.  before you start, decide what bit rate you will be streaming at and how 
many listeners you can support.  Obviously, if you stream at 128kbps, 
unless you're on a big connection you won't be able to support too many 
listeners.  Also, only broadband listeners will be able to hear it.  As a 
general rule, you need to allow some overhead for internet protocols, etc. 
So if you have a 256kbps outgoing connection, you won't be able to support 
8 listeners at 32kbps, you should be able to support 6 and may be able to 
support 7 (you'll have to test).

3.  Having worked out how many listeners you want to be able to support, 
configure the server correctly.  "sources" refers to the number of sources 
or streams that you want to allow at any one time.  It's set to 2 by 
default.

Clients is, if I'm not mistaken, the total number of clients, not just 
listeners, so it needs to equal the max number of listeners you want to 
support, plus the max number of sources which is also defined here.  The 
clients line isn't in the basic file, which I think may be an oversight, 
and I don't know what the default limit is.  so if filling your server is a 
concern, you might want to add it in.

say you wanted to support 10 listeners and 1 stream, your limits section 
would look like this:

     <limits>
         <clients>11</clients>
         <sources>2</sources>
     </limits>


Note that you can set listener limits for individual streams, but that's 
outside the scope of this message (I can tell you how to do that next 
time) if you want to know.

4.  Set your source password.  ***DO NOT USE THE ONE THAT'S IN THE CONFIG 
FILE***  This is the password your streaming application will use to 
connect to your server.

5.  Set your admin username and password.  technically this isn't strictly 
necessary to change in order to start streaming, but I highly recommend 
changing it from the defaults, at least the password anyway.

6.  Set your hostname correctly if you want Icecast to generate .m3u files 
for you (see above).  If you set this wrong, the generated .m3u file wil 
have the wrong host name in it.

7.  Set the port item to the appropriate port you want your 
server to listen on for connections.  If you  are behind a firewall, you'll 
need to have this port forwarded through to your Icecast server.

8.  If you want to be able to serve other types of files with Icecast, 
enable fileserving.


You can probably leave everything else set the same unless you feel a need 
to change any of it.

Now, here's the fun part.  sourcing your stream.  There's many programs 
which can source a stream for you.  A bunch of them are listed on the 
Icecast website in the 3rd party apps section.  Since you want to stream 
something from your sound card, you'll want something which can do this. 
The simplest application may be Oddcast v3, the stand-alone edition from 
oddsock.org.  This means you don't need a program like Winamp with a 
plugin, though you can of course use this.

How you will configure your streaming client will differ from program to 
program, but here's the basics:

1.  Your streamer will need to specifically support Icecast2.  If it 
doesn't and you must use something that only supports Shoutcast, then your 
server will need some additional configuration to support this.

2.  configure your streamer to use the following settings:

Server type: Icecast2
Server host: <the address of your Icecast server, can be "localhost" if
 	it's the same machine>
Server port: <the port you specified in #7 above>
Password: <the source password you specified above>
Mount point: <your desired mount point for your stream - see below>

You may also want to tell your streamer to list, or not to list, your 
stream on a YP server.  this assumes your server is configured to allow 
this.  I think it is by default, though you'll need to hcheck this, but it 
will only list streams that are configured to be listed in the source 
client.

Discussion of mount points:

A mount point is used to allow more than one stream to be hosted on an 
Icecast server.  A mount point is vertual, in that it doesn't really exist 
anywhere except in the server.

For example: We have been using the mount point of /cricket in our 
examples.  You don't need to have a file or folder anywhere called 
/cricket.

Mount points are created by Icecast when a source requests that it be 
created, assuming the source has the authority to do so.  Using a global 
source password like we have here, any source that connects and supplies 
this password can create any mount point it likes.

By convention, MP3 mount points look like our /cricket example above, and 
Ogg Vorbis streams have .ogg on the end.  The reason for this is that some 
players are broken and do not play the stream properly, they assume it's an 
MP3 stream unless there's a .ogg extension on the end.  So if you want to 
stream in Ogg Vorbis, you might want to use /cricket.ogg instead of just 
/cricket .

It is possible to set up specific passwords for specific mount points, as 
well as max number of listeners, YP details, fallbacks, and all sorts of 
other cool stuff.  But that's outside the scope of this Email too.

3.  Since you're going to be recording from your soundcard, you'll need to
    inform your stream client to take its sound from the sound card.
    Presumably, this is the only way that Oddcast v3 stand-alone gets its
    audio.  If you use a program like Winamp or Foobar2000 with a plugin
    like Oddcast DSP or SAM, you'll either need to use a Line Input plugin
    in Winamp or enable advanced recording in the plugin.  Both approaches
    have advantages and disadvantages, a subject I'm happy to go into if you
    need it.

You will also have to configure your sound card to record from your line in 
source and set an appropriate level.  This is done in Volume Control, in 
the Recording Controls section.


Now that you've got your streamer and your server configured, start up your 
server and connect with your streamer.  And you should be good to go.

Let me know if you need any more details or clarifications.  And other 
listers let me know if I've left anything out.  And also let me know when 
you get that cricket streaming up <wink wink>.

Geoff.

hi together,

icecast has a nice feature, listener_connections. my problem with it, it 
resets the connection counter evry reboot of icecast. is there a tool to
save this counter every day ?

If I understand it correctly, if you have both sources connected, you won't 
be able to have any listeners.

Assuming you want to use Shoutcast compatibility mode, you didn't define a 
second port on 8001 and set to shoutcast-compat.

The following comes from the sample shoutcast config file:

     <!-- You MUST define 2 ports, port and port +1 -->
     <listen-socket>
         <!-- Configure the shoutcast DSP with *this* port
              the shoutcast DSP actually will connect the
              encoder to this port + 1 -->
         <port>8000</port>
     </listen-socket>
     <listen-socket>
         <!-- This port *must* be one larger than the one defined
              above and defined as 'shoutcast-compat' -->
         <port>8001</port>
         <shoutcast-compat>1</shoutcast-compat>
     </listen-socket>

Can't Liveice do native Icecast2 streaming?  At any rate, this is going to 
fail because it's trying to conect to 8000 which is not set up as shoutcast 
compatible.

This doesn't match your config above either.

Your stream will show up on /stream, not on / .  If you want it to show up 
on / you'll have to set / as your shoutcast-mount, not /stream, or define 
an alias.

This only shows us Icecast's various processes shutting down, so has no 
useful information.

Ok, there's a number of things, hope this is helpful.

Subject: [Icecast] Ices crashes all of a sudden: EROR input-oss/oss_read
	Error reading from audio device: Input/output error
Message-ID: <1140155316.23943.4.camel@blkpoohba.dyndns.org>

It was kind of working for a while but I could not hear the stream but
it was running.  I started messing with alsamixer and now it crashes.  I
see the error but I don't know how to fix it.

goes

We're going to need a bit more information before we can answer this 
question.  When you say "i have connection", can you tell us exactly what 
you are doing so we can then tell you what you need to do?

Ok, so have you connected a source to Icecast (i.e. are you sending a 
stream to it)?  If you're playing the music with Winamp, you'll need to use 
a plugin like Oddcast DSP, Samcast or even the Nullsoft Shoutcast DSP 
(though this one requires special configuration on Icecast to be able to 
use it).

I think Icecast is set up by default for http://server:8000/ to redirect to 
http://server:8000/status.xsl which, if you've set things up properly, 
should show you status information.  If you got the status info but 
couldn't see any streams connected, then see above.  If you didn't get a 
status page, try http://server:8000/status.xsl

To listen to your stream, you need to have your player open 
http://server:8000/yourmountpoint, where yourmountpoint is the mount point 
set in your streaming application (presumably one of the above-mentioned 
plugins in your case).  Most people achieve this by having a link to a .m3u 
file on their website, either one they've created themselves or by using 
Icecast's automatic m3u file generator.

To use this feature, say your stream is on the mountpoint /stream.  You'd 
have a link on your website which looked like this:

<A HREF="http://server:8000/stream.m3u">click here to listen</A>

This would send the URL http://server:8000/stream to your media player of 
choice.

Note: The "hostname" variable needs to be set correctly in the icecast 
config file for this feature to work properly.

Let me know if you need further information.

Geoff.

hi

has anyone seen this error before:

[root at machine root]# error : xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant : input not UTF-8

unfortunately i cannot see what application is causing this error but i
suspect that it is icecast because of the XML config file and we have made
some changes recently.  i have issued thess commands to try to get
something from the logs:

[root at machine root]# grep -r -i xmlEncodeEntities
/usr/share/icecast/icelog/error.log
[root at machine root]#

[root at machine root]# grep -r -i xmlEncodeEntities /var/log/
[root at machine root]#

but i get nothing back unfortunately.  i have done the usual googling but
it appears that this xmlEncode error can be generated by a number of
different applications?

my scripting isn't so good so i don't know how to parse the icecast.xml
file to highlight the non UTF-8 encoded characters - has someone got any
idea as to how to do this please?

bests and thanks in advance.

Usually this sort of thing is something to do with DNS resolution not
working from within a chroot - probably icecast can't contact the
directory server(s) at all.

The icecast log files probably have some details.

If this is right, I'm not really entirely sure how to fix it (I'm not
a freebsd user), but I'd expect you'd be able to find some info with a
web search or two - it isn't icecast-specific.

Message-ID: <000b01c63883$4c371f70$89ee9993@admin1.winad.mscd.edu>

I've successfully installed and configured Icecast2 (v2.3.1) on a Debian
sarge Linux server, but am having some difficulty configuring Ices2. In
particular, I'm not sure how to create a playlist and where to put it. I've
tried creating playlists in the root of my music folder which contains a
one-line-per-file listing of all my ogg music tracks and have named these
files playlist.txt, playlist.ogg, and playlist.m3u. While I can access and
play my individual music files in WinAmp, when I reference either
playlist.txt or playlist.ogg I get nothing. When I reference playlist.m3u I
get a listing of my files in WinAmp's Playlist window, but nothing plays.
 
Any help, especially an example of a properly formatted playlist, will be
most appreciated!

Subject: [Icecast] Request: Time Stamped Dump-Files
Message-ID: <E1FCeMG-00029b-OI@www5.emo.freenet-rz.de>

Hi,

I urgently need a feature to save the dump-files in splitted timestamped 
chunks or - much better - named accordingly to the stream metadata.

I don?t want to use utilities like streamripper to make dumps because 
they act as a client and thus the "relay on-demand" feature of icecast 
isn't usable anymore. I only want to have a copy of the stream when 
somebody is actually listening, because the source and the master server 
are located in Antarctica on the other side of a rather expensive satellite 
link.

I assume this is the icyest icecast in the world. We transmit hydrophone
recordings from below the shelf ice, featuring a lot of whales, seals and 
iceberg breakdowns. We record and store 4 channels @ 192kHz, 24Bit locally 
at the Neumayer base and a 24 Kbps mp3 stream is sent home to Germany. 
We can analyze this low quality stream online here and retrieve high quality 
FLAC encoded snippets via ftp for interesting events only. 

We will go online for the public internet in a few weeks when the system 
is running stable. Watch out for this at our webpage. You can also find
10 minute interval webcam pictures from the recording site here: 
http://www.awi-bremerhaven.de/acoustics/Projects/PALAOA/PALAOA.html

I found that previously somebody provided a patch for this, see:
http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/2004-June/007443.html 
Could somebody include something like this in the current version? 
I am not a programmer myself so I rely on help with this.

Alternatively: Is the metadata included in the dump-file? The oddcast out 
there on the ice includes the recording time as metadata into the stream 
exactly every minute. Is there an utility to parse the dump-file and split 
it into chunks at every metadata change?

I?d appreciate any ideas and help on this topic very much,
Lars Kindermann

Hi,

Sure.
But it doesn't depend on icecast if it's a live stream or not. It
accepts a stream from a source and them passes it on.
There are a couple pieces of software that support taking input from a
sound card and after encoding they forward the stream to icecast. A
couple names: liveice, darkice (these for Linux) and oddcast for
Windows.

Yours,
Jacint

I'm not 100% convinced this is what you *actually* want, but this patch is 
what I use to time stamp dump files - perhaps it is.

As you can see it's diffed against 2.2-kh11b, but I don't know if it will 
patch against the very recent releases (official or kh).
