Hi am little novice over your product but also need a good hand reinstalling your server platform under linux servers

steppes that where already done

uncrompressed the tar.gz file in out of the www.folder  so is now home/gysmonet/icecast/
next 
did run the configure file as said
then did tried make
make install and seems nothing happening 
Do i need to cofigure anything before running the configure or is as set and is no configurations to set first

I would like to know step by steps to configuring it the right way 

thank you Alain-Guy

When you run configure, make sure it completes without failure. Actually 
check the output for anything odd. If certain things cannot be found 
like certain development packages then the make will not be able to run.

normally you see something like song=abc... in an admin update, for
injecting updates into a non-ogg stream.  These are used to build up a
StreamTitle for your player to display, but you can also have a
StreamURL setting.

I have tried webalizer but later my try I think that it isn0t what I'm 
searching...

I want to have some information , but the most useful it's the total 
data sent by a specific mountpoint to all the client .

I have tryed the kh icecast branch , this has more statistics 
information , like this

<total_bytes_read>47586322</total_bytes_read>
<total_bytes_sent>50334720</total_bytes_sent>
<total_mbytes_sent>48</total_mbytes_sent>

But after that the client reconnect to the mountpoint , the statistics 
beginning fron the 0 .

The best way is if this information are absolutely from the "beginning" 
of the server ( from the latest start or something similar) , so I can 
use a database for insert partial information about every day , month ecc.

Do you know some solution for have the total amount of the data sending 
for every mountpoint?

Thanks for the attention

How I can use this function or the function " on-disconnect " , that

You don't say how it doesn't work. Is there anything in the icecast
error log? (besides the spurious "not a speex file" warning?) If you
get a stream but it doesn't play, try downloading a segment with wget
and checking it with oggz-validate. If you can't get a stream through
icecast, try oggz-validate on the output of ffmpeg.

This sort of thing is more-or-less why ffmpeg2theora exists. Any
particular reason you prefer not to use it?

HTH,

Message-ID: <49766CC6.80001@audiias.com>

Hi guys , I ' m reading the icecast documentation , in particular here: 
http://www.icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.1/icecast2_config_file.html#mount

For the on-connect and on-disconnect functions , I read:

on-connect

State a program that is run when the source is started. It is passed a 
parameter which is the name of the mountpoint that is starting. The 
processing of the stream does not wait for the script to end. This 
option is not available on win32
on-disconnect

State a program that is run when the source ends. It is passed a 
parameter which is the name of the mountpoint that has ended. The 
processing of the stream does not wait for the script to end. This 
option is not available on win32


So If I write a simple script

#!/bin/bash

touch $1



And the mountpoint name it's testmount.ogg , when I connect to this 
mountoint , the script create a file called testmount.ogg ?

Or how I can take the mountpoint parameter?


Big thanks for your help

your thinking is correct except for one detail, the mountpoint would be 
/testmount.ogg which is something you have to be careful of if you 
intend to do things like touch

Hi Guys ,

Now I try the script using the full path of the programs (/usr/bin ,
/usr/sbin ecc..) and all is running.

Now I have a little problem:

If I insert in the on connect or disconnect tag this script
/etc/icecast/bin/script.sh

and the script is this

#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/1.txt
/bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/log2.txt



Only the first line is going , the second no . I try with different
programs , but always only the first line it's going.

I've tried to do this thing:

In the icecast xml insert the call to the script /etc/icecast/bin/script.sh

In this script I insert only 1 instruction

#!/bin/bash
/etc/icecast/bin/script2.sh


And in the script2 I insert this instructions

#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/1.txt
/bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/log2.txt


The result is the same , only the first line is going.

How I can run more then 1 instruction?


Best regards

So I'm asking to you :

There is a way to limit to a max bitrate , the bitrate that a client can

I have this in my branch work (check my forum profile for the address) 
but I haven't had much feedback on this so it's either working well or 
not being used.

Just add in <mount> either

<limit-rate> to limit the incoming stream, it does drop the connection 
if the rate stays high for a certain amount of time.

<max-bandwidth> to limit the number of new listeners connecting.

both take the value format as either 40000, 40K or 40M. You'll want to 
allow a little bit extra over the expected bitrate and also watch for 
variable bitrate streams.

I don't see why it would do that. icecast does not signal the process, 
so it would beg the question of what actually happens when the script is 
run. I'm assuming the process does finish and that 1.txt does contain 
what you think it should?  you could try appending to 1.txt with >> and 
make sure log2.txt is not write protected.

Hi,

If you think it's just executing the first line, does it echo in log2.txt when deleting the first line?
Otherwise you'd maybe like to test:

---------------
#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/1.txt; /bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/log2.txt;
---------------

Best regards

Hi Karl ,

I' using your latest branch , I downloaded it here 
http://www.icecast.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/.

I try your instruction ,  adding the <limit-rate> tag before  the 
closure of </mount> tag.

Now I'm trying using the value 300000 ( are byte?) 300K (using the big K 
not k and seems to runs very good) and soon I will use the value 0.3M or 
1M or 1.3 M

If I use a bitrate upper the 300000 kilobyt I cannot connect to the 
server , but you say to me " it does drop the connection if the rate 
stays high for a certain amount of time.  "

To me the connections doesn't start if I go up ther limit. Now I try 
with a media that starts with a value under the limit and go upper later 
during the streaming , so I see how Icecast responds.

Reply send my result to you and the Mainling List.

Best Regards

Pierpaolo

It's bitrate, which is the typical measure, so bits not bytes. It also 
takes whole numbers. I suppose it could be made to take decimal points 
but that was not my focus initially. It should be case insensitive though.

300K would be 300 kilobits/s, I don't know what you are feeding but that 
would be a high limit for audio (assuming the limit-rate setting).

a limit-rate won't prevent a source client connecting, as there is no 
stream at that stage, but a stream could drop before a listener connects.

Subject: [Icecast] What do i have to do to get the song title from any
 icecast stream?
Message-ID: <21654146.post@talk.nabble.com>


I have seen many media players like the Coreplayer displaying the song title
(the song that is playing currently), when playing an icecast stream.
e.g. http://72.9.238.242:5555/live , http://72.9.238.242:5555/tamil .

how do i get the song title? is it located within the audio stream data, or
somewhere else?

Subject: [Icecast] Usage of on-connect and on-disconnect
Message-ID: <49803C6B.2060003@gmail.com>

Hi Guys ,

Now I try the script using the full path of the programs (/usr/bin , 
/usr/sbin ecc..) and all is running.

Now I have a little problem:

If I insert in the on connect or disconnect tag this script 
/etc/icecast/bin/script.sh

and the script is this

#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/1.txt
/bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/log2.txt



Only the first line is going , the second no . I try with different 
programs , but always only the first line it's going.

I've tried to do this thing:

In the icecast xml insert the call to the script /etc/icecast/bin/script.sh

In this script I insert only 1 instruction

#!/bin/bash
/etc/icecast/bin/script2.sh


And in the script2 I insert this instructions

#!/bin/bash
/bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/1.txt
/bin/echo $1 > /etc/icecast/log/log2.txt


The result is the same , only the first line is going.

How I can run more then 1 instruction?


Best regards

Goodbye

Pierpaolo
