Any body can drop me some information about the hardware and bandwidth requirements to setup an icecast server to stream real time video using OGG/Theora? I'll setup an production server, and need to calculate an estimate number of maximum clients connections to the server. thanks in advance, zea -- Gabriel Zea mailTo http://zea.randomlab.net http://twitter.com/z3a From dm8tbr at afthd.tu-darmstadt.de Mon Oct 6 13:59:45 2008 From: dm8tbr at afthd.tu-darmstadt.de (Thomas B.

For icecast itself the hardware requirements are very low. Especially if you are streaming video there won't be so many listeners as would be if you'd stream audio only. > I'll setup an production server, and need to > calculate an estimate number of maximum clients connections to the > server. > $upstream_bandwith / ( $stream_bitrate + $TCP-overhead ) = absolute maximum The real maximum will be a tad lower. Cheers Thomas PS: If you want to use the server also to real-time encode the stream by running an source client on it this will require a lot more horsepower. But that's not icecast scope.

I'm writing icecast source software using python gstreamer libraries. For audio sending I'm using gstreamer shout2send plugin. Shout2send is using libshout. When starting stream normally and then disconnecting my ethernet cable, shout2send does'nt generate any error messages. Everything seems to be normal, but it is'nt.. Libshout just stucks for waiting? Same problem occurs when trying directly with gst-lauch. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Message-ID: <86a338140810271235x3190ab2bq56996c1153c72abb@mail.gmail.com> Hi Apologies - this is more of a bash question than an Icecast question. When I visit the listmounts.xsl page for my Icecast server, for example here: http://icecast.example.com:8000/admin/listmounts.xsl I see that each mountpoint is listed like so: > Mount Point : (/example.mp3) > List Clients | Move Listeners | Update Metadata | Kill Source > > 35 Listener(s) The code for the "Kill Source" link resembles something like this: http://icecast.example.com:8000/admin/killsource.xsl?mount=/example.mp3 So is there a way of invoking this URL from bash - perhaps like this: lynx -auth user:password http://icecast.example.com:8000/admin/killsource.xsl?mount=/example.mp3 Only the above doesn't work. I would use this for the automated detaching of unwanted mountpoints, perhaps in a cron job. Many thanks in advance.

Just make sure it is an valid xml document before reloading icecast - else it will die on the HUP signal. (e.g. by using xmllint) Thomas
