Hi All,
Maybe I do something completely wrong and I make some trivial mistakes but
the static streaming doesn't work for me.
I describe my setup.
Thanks,
Ivan
- I try to reach the following URLs but neither of them worked:
http://my.server.hu/try.mp3
http://my.server.hu/try.mp3.m3u
http://my.server.hu/list.m3u
- The /usr/share/icecast2/web directory contains the following files:
try.mp3
list.m3u
- The list.m3u contains:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Try
try.mp3
- The /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml

it also significantly increases latency between the source
