Subject: [Icecast] Icecast Won't Authenticate by URL (Previous Threads
	Didn't Help)
Message-ID: <96102ee40701050415n7cf364ah5d20500c8b692b39@mail.gmail.com>

I have this bit in my icecast xml conf:
<mount>
        <mount-name>/sauti</mount-name>
        <authentication type="url">
                <option name="mount_add"           value="
http://baraka/~revence/sauti/notify_mount.php<http://baraka/%7Erevence/sauti/notify_mount.php>"
/>
                <option name="mount_remove"
value="http://baraka/~revence/sauti/notify_rm_mount.php<http://baraka/%7Erevence/sauti/notify_rm_mount.php>"
/>
                <option name="listener_add"
value="http://baraka/~revence/sauti/notify_listener.php
<http://baraka/%7Erevence/sauti/notify_listener.php>" />
                <option name="listener_remove"   value="
http://baraka/~revence/sauti/notify_listener.php<http://baraka/%7Erevence/sauti/notify_listener.php>"
/>
                <option name="auth_header"         value="icecast-auth-user:
1" />
        </authentication>
</mount>

But the mount_add page is not called at any one point. This is what `wget -S
http://baraka/~revence/sauti/notify_mount.php`<http://baraka/%7Erevence/sauti/notify_mount.php%60>returns:

[... snip ...]
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
 1 HTTP/1.1 200 OK
 2 Date: Fri, 05 Jan 2007 08:06:02 GMT
 3 Server: Apache/2.0.49 (Linux/SuSE)
 4 X-Powered-By: PHP/4.3.4
 5 icecast-auth-user: Not Yet Ready
 6 Connection: close
 7 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

So the PHP script would stop icecast from running (by not returning
`icecast-auth-user: 1'), but that doesn't work. I have ensured that the
script works fine, by making it log access.
Save.

 From your description, it sounds like you have a build of icecast that 
does not include libcurl.

Hi,

I had the same experience as Jacint and had to downgrade libshout to
the dapper version.
I also found that I had to downgrade icecast2 from 2.3.1-3 (edgy) to
the dapper version 2.3.1-2 in order to actually view the streamed
video.

hi!
is there a (build-in) possibility to relay a password protected stream  
without using a tool to recode the stream?

Removing password-protecting from the stream everything works fine ...  
- I also found a possibility to add protecting on the relay-server ...

but - using this way i have to use iptables to protect the master ...  
what's quite uncomfortable ... because there are also two streams our  
admins want to connect from different (changig (UMTS-Dial-Up)) IPs

any listener auth (whether it is for a source client or relay) goes 
within a <mount> section, and may have completely different 
authentication from what the master uses.

Hi,

debian disabled theora support in versions of icecast before 2.3.1-4
a workarround that worked for me in the past is to install libtheora- 
dev and
rebuild the icecast package:

   apt-get build-dep icecast2
   apt-get install libtheora-dev
   apt-get -b source icecast2
   dpkg -i *.deb

Hi All!

I've seen, that icecast can stream videos! Great! Audiostreaming with 
icecast is well known, but how about videostreaming? Can you tell me 
some basics about it?

- which software is required? (Icecast, ok ;) what else? - by the way: 
my OS is a linux ;) )
- I want to stream a live-video with 1024x768 resolution - is it 
possible? - is it wise?
- what a compression-rate is to use, if the output-device is a beamer 
(1024x768) and the images should have a medium or a good quality in 
spite of the compression
- What a bandwidth is needed for this resolution/compression?
- which other points are important to keep in mind?

Thanks for your help!

Hi

While I've personally never done it, I believe you can follow along with 
a guide here:

http://www.oddsock.org/guides/video.php

Streaming video isn't so different from streaming music, you need a 
supported source format, a source client to arrange and send your stream 
to the distribution server and they clients connect to that. In this 
particular case Icecast only supports OGG Theora (I think...) so you'll 
first need to convert your video, the guide uses ffmpeg2theora for this 
but I think any tool would do so long as you end up with Theora. Second 
you'll need a source client capable of sending your stream to Icecast 
and in this regard the guide makes use of ezstream, this is available on 
the Icecast website. An example ezstream configuration is in the guide, 
in it you can see how ezstream is actually set up to match .avi files, 
use ffmpeg2theora to convert them then send them to Icecast.

As for compression, resolution and bandwidth requirements someone else 
will have to step in here, or you'll just have to try it and tweak it 
yourself. Try the manpage for ffmpeg2theora, in it it does appear to be 
possible to lock the video and audio bitrate in order to keep the stream 
a predictable size. I do know that 1024x768 is going to require a lot of 
bandwidth to run at a respectable frame-rate and quality. Also keep in 
mind that the conversion to Theora is happening in real-time, your 
hardware may not be able to re-encode your stream fast enough at that 
resolution. That said, I've never done this so you'll probably have to 
test the waters yourself to get a good idea of the settings you'll need.

Good Luck,

Chris

As of CPU load, a 3 GHz P4 machine is capable of encoding live video 
realtime with the following parameter: 640x480, 200kbs, 32kbs vorbis 
audio, 10fps.
If I raised any of the parameters, the CPU got overloaded. With the 
mentioned parameters the CPU load is around 90%.
Unfortunately ffmpeg2theora is not multithreaded yet, that would help a 
lot... Does anyone know how to make it support SMP machines?

Yours,
Jacint

My Questions. 

I'm using a Windows XP computer using Icecast 2 as the server and using SAM
broadcaster as my encoder. 

I'm at a college setting. I can connect to my stream by manually going to
either Itunes or Media Player and typing in my address. 
When I use IE or Mozilla, nothing happens I don't get any music from the web
page.  All it does on Mozilla is run a buffer..

IE just "connects" - forever

What am I doing wrong??

Are you using the m3u extension? Eg, if your stream is
http://foo.com:8000/bar, use http://foo.bar:8000/bar.m3u in your
browser.

Subject: [Icecast] streaming PyCon
Message-ID: <45B6A7E0.3070209@personnelware.com>

Hi list,

About 4 years ago I did some streaming with icecast v1 - mostly just the audio 
of monthly user group meetings, with at most 20 clients.  (normaly about 3.)

I just got the OK to stream the audio from the 3 days of PyCon  ( 
http://us.pycon.org Feb 23-25 ).

There will be a KuroBox hooked into the sound system in each of the 3 conference 
rooms http://www.kurobox.com/revolution/what.html - last year they were used to 
record the audio.  They will be there again this year.  I am assuming i can use 
jack or something to tap into the lame encoding? and stream that to the ice-cast 
server.

I have a T1 to host a server off site, so that we are not relying on the Hotel's 
bandwidth.

I have 0.0 idea how many people will want to tune in.  I hear many of the 600 
attendees may want to listen to 2 sessions at the same time.  So it is worth 
setting up a 'local' server just to keep the traffic off of the hotels bottleneck.

Why am I posting?  I am running out of time to actually implement this, and am 
hoping someone will say "oh yeah, easy. you do X and I'll take care of the rest."

So, anyone game?

Hello, I'm trying setup 4 total mountpoints. 3 are our live dj mountpoints
and 1 is our autodj mountpoint. The dj mountpoints all fallback to the
autodj mountpoint. I need the dj mountpoints to override the autodj
mountpoint though. So, basically if someone is listening to the autodj and a
dj connects, the dj mountpoint will override the autodj mountpoint and
they'll hear the dj that connected. The autodj will always be connected. The
easy way to explain it is in a flowchart so I made one:

Hi,

I never used it, but it seems that there is a possible fallback-mount
for a mount, to which a user it redirected if the mount is
unavailable. Couldn't say that live1 falls back to live2, which falls
back to live3, which falls back to autodj ?

Hope that helps.

Actually <fallback-override> seems to be doing what I was looking for. karlH
over at the icecast.org forums pointed me in the right direction.

Thanks!
