Hi Philipp,

Thank you.

I find in the Icecast docs the following:

"_A fallback mount can also state a file that is located in webroot._ 
This is useful for playing a pre-recorded file in the case of a stream 
going down. It will repeat until either the listener disconnects or a 
stream comes back available and takes the listeners back. As per usual, 
the file format should match the stream format, failing to do so may 
cause problems with playback."

This is at http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.htm 
<http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html>

So it appears that one can specify a static file as the fallback. My 
question has to do with whether Icecast will be happy with the syntax I 
have proposed as the path to the file.

This is true, and it exactly states what's wrong with your syntax. It 
expects to be a mount name, as mounts will fallback to files in webroot 
with the same name, if they exists, you can use a file as well.
Therefore you can't just put the full path there, like you did. (And you 
path does not seem to point to webroot) If you want to have a fallback 
file, put it in webroot and just put the filename in the fallback-mount, 
as you would usually do with a mountpoint:

     <fallback-mount>/fallback.mp3</fallback-mount>

Hi Marvin, thank you.

Okay, then to be clear, "webroot" for the purposes of running Icecast 
under Windows would be the same folder where icecast.xml is normally 
found, i.e., C:\Program Files\icecast

And, if I read you correctly, suppose my normal mount coming from my 
source client is called /example  (it is an mp3 stream so I don't 
specify the extension). If I place a file called "example.mp3" in the 
webroot, and rename my live mount "example.mp3" then will Icecast 
automatically fall back to the static file in the event that the source 
client goes off-air?

The webroot is where the web files are, so it should be `web` on Windows 
and
contain files like `status.xsl`.

No, I re-checked to be clear and the correct statement is:
Icecast will treat static files like mounts if they are in webroot. This 
means that if you
have a mount defined in your config with the name foo.mp3 and you have a 
foo.mp3 in your webroot,
Icecast will apply the mount settings (like auth for example) to this 
static file.
Best is to never have a static file with the same name as a mountpoint 
you want to stream to.

But that handling makes it possible that you can use a static file as 
fallback mount, because Icecast will
play the file, if there is one with the same name as the mountpoint.
Just make sure to place the file in the webroot and name it to something 
that won't conflict with any other
stream. Then enter that name for the fallback mount as explained in my 
last mail.

Marvin,

Ah, thank you for clarifying where "webroot" is.

The application here will be a non-public stream with one listener 
client. Icecast is hosted on a computer at our radio station. It will 
receive a stream from a stream client at a remote live music event. 
There will be one listener: a media player running on another computer 
on the network at the station which will send the audio to the FM 
transmitter.

The intial setup works fine just doing the minimum suggested 
modifications to icecast.xml: change passwords and usernames, and give 
mountpoint a unique name. This is all toward the top of the config file.

There is a large section toward the bottom of the config file where one 
defines normal mounts and suchlike. It comes commented out and I've left 
it that way since so far the setup is working.

To add a fallback, I read here (http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Icecast2) that 
all I really need to do at this point is uncomment out the following in 
the config file:

<mount>
<mount-name>/MountnameSameAsStaticFilename.mp3</mount-name>
<fallback-mount/MountnameSameAsStaticFilename.mp3</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
</mount>

And avoid doing the more complicated setting up of normal mounts, etc. 
since everything is working well so far without having to do so.

As far as I know what you have to do is, define a mount section for your 
stream:

<mount>
	<mount-name>/mystream.mp3</mount-name>
	<fallback-mount>/fallback.mp3</fallback-mount>
</mount>

I don't think that the fallback would need a config to just fallback to 
itself, this makes no
sense to me.
(Disclaimer: I've never configured a fallback setup like yours)

Very good, then.

I'm going in.

If I don't make it back, tell my wife and the little ones that I love them.

Marvin,

I'm back. And it works. If the live stream client stops, then the 
fallback file starts playing, on endless loop. If the stream client 
comes back up, the listener is returned to the live stream. IOW -- it 
works as advertised.

Here's what I have in my icecast.xml:

   <mount type="normal">
         <mount-name>/stream</mount-name>
         <max-listeners>3</max-listeners>
         <burst-size>65536</burst-size>
<fallback-mount>/400Hz_192kbps.mp3</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
<fallback-when-full>1</fallback-when-full>
   <!-- <username>othersource</username>
         <password>hackmemore</password>
<dump-file>/tmp/dump-example1.ogg</dump-file>
         <intro>/example_intro.ogg</intro>
         <hidden>1</hidden>

My static fallback file is an mp3 containing just a 400Hz sine wave at 
0dBFS for the purpose of calibrating the signal path right now. It will 
be replaced with appropriate music and announcements to cover for the 
event of a down stream. The file has to be, as is described elsewhere in 
the Icecast documentation, the same bitrate and format (stereo, in my 
case) as the live mount.

Thanks for the help!

Hello.

? I've been using Icecast for a few days now, and am really enjoying
it. One thing I can't figure out how to do is have a specific file
play if someone were to click on my stream url, and I wasn't actively
streaming at the time. I want it to play if I'm not streaming, but
play the stream if I am. I'm not sure if this is possible; I've
searched the Icecast
site and forums and didn't see anything about it, but I've seen other
people do something similar. Is it possible to do this?

? Thanks for any information you may be able to provide.

Hello Kyle,
If you want that the listener always receive audio from your *Web site*,
whether or not your *Icecast server* is running, you can include an
onclick event on your stream url, so, if your *Icecast server* is not
running, a song hosted in your *Web server* will be played:
document.getElementById('idYourStreamUrlButton').onclick=function(){if(icecastIsRunning){playYourIcecast}else{playYourSong}}

Thanks for the reply, but actually this solution you are advising is not 
really suitable.
Client side Javascript is no solution to the problem that users may have 
a direct link to
the stream and will not be able to listen to it, when it is not 
available.

There is actually a much better approach which works natively in Icecast 
without any need for
anything else: Fallbacks
You can setup a fallback for your stream, which can be either another 
mountpoint or a file located in
your webroot. Check the Documentation [1] for more information about 
that.
Feel free to ask again if you are experiencing any problems or need 
further help setting it up.

Hello Marvin,
Thank you very much for the information, I did not know.
But the solution "Fallbacks" requires the Icecast server is working, is
it?. If so, what about if Icecast is not working ?.

Icecast is designed as a server software and should run all the time in 
normal operation mode, therefore if you shut it down, you have to come 
up with own handling for this case.

Ok Marvin,
That is our case, where the Icecast server does not have the same ISP
provider that the Web page server.
Icecast Server is always in normal operation, but not so the different
Internet connections.

Subject: [Icecast] Question about Icecast2 when not streaming
Message-ID: <CAGxOyNw12K4--eGv94ViTpWTijm8N4DBvsbTFTjsdcaOJv2BrQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hello again.

  Thanks for the help, everyone. I'm trying to configure a fallback
mount, but I can't seem to get the file to play. Here's what I have in
my configuration file for the mount.

        <mount-name>/stream.mp3</mount-name>
        <fallback-mount>/StreamWarning.mp3</fallback-mount>
        <fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
    </mount>

I'm not entirely sure where to store the "StreamWarning.mp3 file,
since I'm still quite new to Linux, and don't know what "webroot"
refers to. I've tried several places, including /var/www/html which is
where my Nginx files are located. Do any of you know what I might be
doing wrong?

  Once again, thanks for all your help. Like I said, I just started
messing around with Debian last week.

Subject: [Icecast] Icecast URL authentication problem
Message-ID: <5B83B2121F96440C98B2C0AE3B7A0C33@T>

System: Icecast 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, OS: CentOS 6.6 x64

Tried to install icecast using following two different methods described in these links:
(1) http://www.ukhost4u.co.uk/blog/538/install-icecast-2-centos-6-server/
(2) https://www.servint.net/university/article/taking-the-chill-out-of-installing-icecast/


Both of these resulted in working and stable icecast, but without the possibility of url authentication. 


Mountpoint authentication is configured as shown here:
<authentication type="url">
<option name="mount_add"       value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="mount_remove"    value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="listener_add"    value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="listener_remove" value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="stream_auth" value="http://some.server.org/stream_control.php"/>
<option name="user" value='source'/>
<option name="pass" value='pass'/>
<option name="auth_header" value="icecast-auth-user: 1"/>
</authentication>

Script named stream_control.php just writes POST data received from calling site (to some file) and returns icecast-auth-user: 1.


This script is never called by any of these methods by the icecast server, also in the error.log I am able to find following lines (every time I try to connect to icecast as a listener - or a stream client):

INFO auth/auth_add_listener adding client for authentication
INFO auth/queue_auth_client auth on /mountpoint has 1 pending
INFO auth_url/url_add_listener client auth (http://some.server.org/stream_control.php) failed with ""



Please advise further actions. Thanks!


PS: yum update was done, without any change.

That one stumbled me, too. I'm on a Windows machine so my webroot is in 
a different location. But according to 
http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html, the path to 
webroot is in your icecast.xml file, i.e.,

    webroot:
    This path specifies the base directory used for all static file
    requests. This directory can contain all standard file types
    (including mp3s and ogg vorbis files). For example, if webroot is
    set to /var/share/icecast2, and a request for
    http://server:port/mp3/stuff.mp3 comes in, then the file
    /var/share/icecast2/mp3/stuff.mp3 will be served.


In my icecast install directory are a few other sub-folders, one of 
which is named "web" and if I tell Icecast to play a file called 
/foo.mp3 and put it in the web sub-folder, Icecast seems to find it.

I see. I'm not sure how I keep missing things in the Icecast docs.
I'll give that location a try.

Thanks

I magically manage to overlook more in those docs than I see.

I blame it on the font. Or the colors. Can't be me. Nope.

Hmm. Even with the file in the right place, Icecast still doesn't use
it when my stream is offline. I can access the file using it's URL, so
I know Icecast has access to it. This is what I have in my
configuration file.

    <mount>
        <mount-name>/stream.mp3</mount-name>
        <fallback-mount>/StreamWarning.mp3</fallback-mount>
        <fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
    <public>0</public>
    </mount>

    <mount>
    <mount-name>/StreamWarning.mp3</mount-name>
</mount>

I have StreamWarning.mp3 in webroot, and I can access it using the
URL. Does anyone have any other ideas as to what might be causing the
problem?

One possibility: the fallback file has to be the same format as the 
actual stream -- that is, same bitrate and same number of tracks (mono 
or stereo).

Subject: [Icecast] Question about Icecast2 when not streaming
Message-ID: <4tv99sc1qo4b.mrts5i-4lu6r61gqexm1y@tracking.yeg911.ca>

The fallback mount also counts as a source connection.

<icecast>
         <limits>
                 <sources></sources>

Make sure it shows up in the admin interface(/admin/listmounts.xsl). If 
there is no source connected to the main mount, you may only see the 
fallback mount. If it is connected, you should see both. Clients will 
auto-join that mount when the main mount looses it's source and move 
back when it is re-established. If the format is not the same, players 
will get real confused when the stream suddenly changes. Some will play 
dead air or garbling and the override may not work as expected.

Also, you have an additional mount for your fallback file. This is not 
needed as it's created automatically.

         <mount>
                 <mount-name>/stream</mount-name>
                 <fallback-mount>/StreamWarning.mp3</fallback-mount>
                 <fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
         </mount>

Make sure your fallback file is located in /usr/share/icecast2/web

Subject: [Icecast] 404 error => stream redirect / relay
Message-ID: <CALUb28V=f1FcoFkWjJUFYzr_uTuAgGGsEDshmVr9FodxP-_JcQ@mail.gmail.com>

Is there any known way how to redirect all 404 errors to a stream?
I can see many request to non-existing publish points (mostly old streams
that are no longer active) and I would like to redirect them to one
specific mount with audio loop (looped stream)... but I don't want to
create relay streams manually for each non-existing pubpoint, but rather
create one general "404 relay"...
Any ideas, please?

Well that is a new attribute to 2.4.1 but if i understand it correctly it
might just be what you're looking for:
try to set a mount with type "default" and set the fallback/relay on it.

ooohhh :) interesting... didn't think about that... I was stuck on catching
404 and there is a new default mount config...
I will try this... after quick test, there are some problems with the
default mount, but it may be because of wrong configuration... I will have
to experiment with the settings.

thanks :)

Alternatively, you could parse your logs for 404s, and generate a long list
of aliases to existing streams. This would give you more control over the
content.

Hi,

If you're running icecast in a jail root (chroot enabled), then you may not have a properly setup DNS resolver.

Maybe this post will point you in the right direction: http://icecast.xiph.narkive.com/5v2EeNBD/eror-no-dns <http://icecast.xiph.narkive.com/5v2EeNBD/eror-no-dns>

Kind regards,

Subject: [Icecast] Simple source on Debian
Message-ID: <CAKsaqBBWietsCKxTkn-KZfHNLhRO9E43d=jhVHFHFYYpNBchZw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello everyone.

I just joined this list, and I was wondering if any of you might have
any suggestions. I'm looking for a source that will run on Debian,
that would simply send mp3 files I have in a folder to my Icecast2
server in a random order. I do not require anything special, like
random ads, scheduling support, etc.

I've given Liquidsoap a try, but it seems to be far too complex for my
understanding at the moment. I'd have to write a script just to
randomly rotate through a folder of music.

I've also tried IceGenerator, but I can't get it to install. After
running configure, it says that I'm missing the Libshout2 library. I
have Libshout3 installed, but can't find a copy of Libshout2.

Does anyone have any ideas for  another source I might be able to use?



Thank you for reading.

The simplest way I know is Ices2 + Bash script.
apt-get install ices2 vorbis-tools
and make a script to build a random list of songs stored in a folder.

Hi there.

Thanks for the tip about Ices2. Do you know if it's possible to make
it work with mp3 files? I only ask because there are several people
who stream using my server, and they use mp3. I'm trying to create
fallback streams, but in order for that to work, I'd have to get them
to switch to ogg or find a way to make Ices work with mp3.


Thanks

According to the documentation Ices2 supports Ogg Vorbis; for MP3 you
need, for example, Ices0:
http://icecast.org/ices/
Also take a look here:

Message-ID: <CAKsaqBDx6fKn1zCn9U1_W2ZVEfH_=beO0p9ie1zLLTA6XDuC+g@mail.gmail.com>

Hello again evveryone.

  I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to force Icecast to play the
intro of a fallback stream? For example, if a live stream is active,
then disconnects, people are routed back to a fallback stream, but it
doesn't play the introduction I have set for that stream. It only
plays if someone starts to listen and they start with the fallback
stream.
  Thanks

Message-ID: <CAKAo=zmNshqsFhL2a2JVsSJkBh9zM+cgb1=GUHFBkdO2xObOiA@mail.gmail.com>

We have businesses users listening to 17 different icecast streams.
We're looking for a way to identify via icecast logs what each user is
listening.

At the moment in order to do so, we're cloning the streams for each user,
so that separate logs are generated.
As the number of user grow, this approach is becoming unsustainable.

Is there an alternative, more lean way to do this?

Thanks

Hi Mark,

You can maybe look at authentication:
http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/auth.html ?

I guess you need some way to differentiate the different users from each
other, either by IP address (though not that accurate) or by
username/password. Authentication can solve both cases for you.

I myself have used the authentication to provide some better logging,
but the users themselves are blissfully unaware that "authentication" is
happening - as all users are allowed access.

Hi Marius,
thanks for your reply.

URL auth via usern/pass seems what I need.

I fail to understand is if and how would that reflect on logs.

Care to elaborate further?

Thank you

Hi again,

You can authenticate the users using a web page. Check:
http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/auth.html#url

For instance look at listener_add and listener_remove. That way you can
insert into a database each time a listener connects and disconnects,
and combining that with the username let's you have a clear log of how
long each user were listening to a stream.

If I understood your use case correctly..?

Subject: [Icecast] Change fallback mount file automatically?
Message-ID: <558AAA28.7000000@kpov.org>

Icecast allows using a fallback mount file which the listener will hear 
if the main mount stops. It is specified in icecast.xml as this example:

<fallback-mount>/example2.ogg</fallback-mount>

It is necessary that the file have the same bitrate and same format 
(single or two-channels) as the main mount.

We were at a music festival last weekend and used butt (Broadcast Using 
This Tool) to send a live music stream to Icecast at the radio station, 
which was then played by iTunes in the Broadcast Studio, and then to the 
broadcast FM signal. It all worked perfectly.

We were streaming from the festival using mp3 format at 192kbps/stereo 
and I prepared a fallback-mount file ahead of time in the same format. 
It was never played because the operation went perfectly, the remote 
stream was stable for the entire 12 hours of the broadcast.

But I was not confident that the remote Internet connection could 
guarantee 192kbps bandwidth so I also prepared a second fallback-mount, 
this one at 96kbps in case we needed to go to a lower bitrate.

If that was necessary, I was prepared to connect to the computer running 
Icecast remotely (using Teamviewer) and replace the 192kbps 
fallback-mount file with the 96kbps fallback-mount.

Fortunately, this was not required.

It would be very useful if this could be automated. Such as: if the 
incoming stream is 192kbps and it stops, then fallback to the 192kbps 
file; if the incoming stream is 96kbps, then fallback to the 96kbps 
file. Or some method in Icecast to run a script or batch file to swap or 
rename the fallback files as the incoming stream changes bitrate.

I regularly broadcast with 48kBit streaming rate (mp3, mono, 44kHz). My 
fallback-file is a 244kBit, stereo, 44kHz, mp3 file. Works like a charme....

Oh -- then I did not understand the documentation.

fallback-mount
This optional value specifies a mountpoint that clients are 
automatically moved to if the source shuts down or is not streaming at 
the time a listener connects. Only one can be listed in each mount and 
should refer to another mountpoint on the same server that is streaming 
in the _same streaming format_.

I was thinking that "same streaming format" referred to 
bitrate/channels, etc. Perhaps it means mp3 or ogg.

Anyway, this is good news. Thank you.

That depends on the player, if it works you are lucky. It might not work 
for other formats or with some players.

Changing the bitrate should always be fine but not mono/stereo or sample
rate or bit depth. Those usually need to be the same.

That depends on the player, if it works you are lucky. It might not work for
other formats or with some players.

Good point, Marvin -- best to test the player to see how it handles the 
unexpected bitrate change.

I think this is just 80% of the story:
*only the container needs to match.
With Ogg you can in theory even change the used codec.
But:
Most players are broken in one or another way. The closer you are the
better it will work. With MP3 non-matching parameters are likely going
to break stuff. With Ogg based streams non-matching parameters are
sometimes going to be a problem. At least you can variate effective
bitrate with Ogg/Vorbis freely without any problems (as in contrast to
MP3 bitrate is not related to the other parameters).

Also note that MP3 is not officially supported and MP3 related requests
are largely ignored. It may or may not work for you. If not: your
problem.

I recommend you to use any Ogg based codec as it would solve your
problem perfectly (changing bitrates) and is supported, well tested,
much better on all technical aspects and there are no license problems.

Anyway: Have fun with your setup and thank you for using Icecast!

I have to admit that I didn't saw any hint about that, I just added the 
fallback option and it worked...

Understood.

Understood. But the hosts at the radio station are not very technical 
and they are not very teachable. The player must operate under OSX, and 
the hosts are used to iTunes (which I despise) as the player. Perhaps it 
is possible to teach iTunes under OSX to play ogg. But of course that 
will be another unsupported combination. See here for a discussion about 
iTunes and ogg: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5483035?tstart=0


Or maybe I should set up a small unused laptop with Linux and put a 
player on it, and have it always on, but hidden away on a shelf, and 
connect the output of the laptop to the broadcast console. I must think 
about this.

Hi

Have you any ideas to do that with Icecast 2.2 or 2.4 ?

Thanks

What do you exactly mean by 'daily archives with time - title - artist'?
Is this about the playlist or the actual stream data?

Without knowing more about what you are looking for I suggest you to
have a look at logrotate.

Have a nice day!
