Please note, it's called Icecast, not IceCast.

We have received a patch that is said to do that off list after this mail.
We'll be looking at it, at some point.
We already support strftime patterns in dump file names.

Further activity will be in this ticket:
https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/2173

I think a maximum dump file duration setting would address this well enough.
I do remember though, that someone asked for a way to turn on/off
dumping  through e.g. admin requests.
Is there specific interest in this from other people on the list?


Cheers

*raises hand* I think that would be a useful feature.

Subject: [Icecast] Stream not working on newer IOS devices
Message-ID: <CAPTJ3=cViT5BgH=3B1DVDLxkxUxVpo-Li0eUSWYV-TtyxqgkqA@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,
I'm with an organization that has been using icecast 2.3 and BUTT on
windows for a couple of years without any major issues.

However, just recently we have realized that the stream has a problem with
newer iPhones. I did upgrade to 2.4.1 and it hasn't resolved the issue.

On my old iPod touch it works fine but with the iPod touch 5 it doesn't.
Works fine on a PC and android. We have one mp3 stream mounted on /live.
The behavior we see is that when you click on the link a play arrow appears
but then disappears within a second or two. Once its disappeared you're
left with a blank screen that doesn't do anything.

I've looked online but haven't found anything significant. Any thoughts?

Thanks - Bryan.

Are you using authentication for the stream?

No, the stream is open (at least that's the intention), it doesn't ask for
any authentication on the other platforms. The source has authentication
though.

How are you referencing the link? Is it opening in a web browser, or
different app as the listening client?

Thanks. It is typically accessed through a browser - especially those using
the iphone.

The page linked is http://wiltonfirefighters.no-ip.biz/

The stream can also be accessed at http://wilton2233.publicvm.com:2234/live

It is typically a very inactive stream - with a low background noise.

i wish to know if this client(IceCast) sends exclusively only audio
content. Because i wish to use it for more complex kinds of multimedia

Icecast supports Audio and Video streaming out of the box. Namely WebM
and Theora for video.
There are also some other options for Ogg encapsulated media content.
Also if your use case works with plain bitstream you can use legacy mode.

Hi,
Am trying to build the source but am having this libshout dependency issue.
I have downloaded libshout3 but each time i try to run the configure, it
still says 'libshout not found'. Is there any config file for the route of
this libshout dependency?
Thanks

Any particular reason you're trying to build it from source? There
should be IceS2 packages in most distros.

I suspect you're missing the headers. Those would be in the
libshout3-dev package.

Icecast itself has no mechanism to do this yourself. You either have to 
provide a dns-round-robin name with all the relays in it or implement a 
load-balancer which distributes the clients according to the load of the 
relays, geo-location or whatever.

Icecast sends the stream over all configured ports, no need to have 
separete SSL/non-SSL mounts.

It's a pure stream replication process.
Either all (master/slave) or explicit (per mount) streams are being
requested by slaves and made available as regular mountpoints.

If you want mountpoints to have specific features/options, then the
configuration on the slaves needs to have those. Mountpoint settings and
configuration are not propagated from the master.

Listener connections need to be directed to the slaves independently.
The master doesn't have provisions for that.
There are many ways to achieve this:
- round robin DNS (a FQDN resolves to several IP addresses)
- HTTP 302 based "bouncing" load balancing (can be dumb or incorporate
logic to account for bandwidth or listener numbers)
- playlist (several entries, very simple, but no good control over load
distribution)

If the servers have roughly the same bandwidth available, then going
with RR DNS is the easiest as it will achieve a statistically equal
distribution.

You have it backwards, the source connects to the Master. Slaves pull
the stream from the Master.

on-disconnect on the master will tell you when the source connection fails.
on-disconnect on the slaves will tell you if the particular connection
between master and slave is interrupted.

Fallbacks can be on any of the servers. You should keep in mind how
things will behave though:
If you have fallbacks on the master, then the relay slave will never see
a source disconnect, but will receive the data from your fallback, as
it's just a regular listener towards the master.
Even if you use master side fallbacks, it might make sense to have local
fallbacks on the slaves to account for situations where the connection
to the master fails.

The TLS connection is terminated at the server. This means that the
encryption is purely for the transport.
It is irrelevant for a listener if the source connects over TLS or plain
and vice versa.

Hello, I?d like to use the new event triggers in 2.5, but the docs haven?t been updated yet.

I?ve managed to gather from the source that the config xml needs to contain an ?event? node with a ?trigger? attribute, but I don?t know what the trigger options are.

Anyone used this or have any idea?

Cheers,

Hey, great that you want to use the new events feature!
Note that the feature is currently in beta and that you will need to 
adjust your config if we
decide on tag names for the final release (probably only 
'kartoffelsalat' will be changed to something else)

The recently added event (in the config represented by the <event> tag) 
can be used in a group of events tag,
which is currently called <kartoffelsalat>. The kartoffelsalat tag can 
be used either in the <icecast> or <mount> sections.

An event has something called 'backend', which indicates how the event 
is handled.
Possible backend are currently:

- log: logs the event to error log
- exec: executes a program or script
- url: calls a given URL (via HTTP)

An event can have two arguments: type and trigger

type defines the backend, so it can be log, exec or url.

Additional options differ, and are specific to the event backend. They 
are defined
using <option name="foo" value="bar" /> tags, which are children of the 
event tag.

Possible options for current backends:

exec
	- executable: Specifies the path to the executable that should be 
executed when event is triggered

log
	- prefix: Log line prefix (optional, defaults to no prefix)
	- level: loglevel (defaults to INFO)

url
	- url: The url to which to make the request
	- username: The username to use, in case auth is needed
	- password: The password to use, in case auth is needed
	- action: value for the `action` parameter that is passed to the URL 
(?action=?)

There are a number of special options passed, in case of url backend 
this is done
in the URL query:

action (see above)
mount (the mount that triggered the action)
port (icecast port)
client (icecast server name)
role
username
ip
agent
duration
admin

for exec they are passed as environment variables:

ICECAST_VERSION
ICECAST_HOSTNAME
ICECAST_ADMIN
ICECAST_LOGDIR
EVENT_URI
EVENT_TRIGGER
SOURCE_ACTION
CLIENT_IP
CLIENT_ROLE
CLIENT_USERNAME
CLIENT_USERAGENT
MOUNT_NAME
MOUNT_DESCRIPTION
MOUNT_URL
MOUNT_GENRE
SOURCE_MOUNTPOINT
SOURCE_PUBLIC
SOURCE_HIDDEN

Wonderful, thanks Marvin. I especially like the kartoffelsalat tag! (Though sadly it will change, as you mentioned.)

I understand the ?type? argument, but I?m still unsure about the second argument ?trigger'. Is there a list of available triggers?

Thanks again,
Rob

Yeah, it's a funny place holder. BTW, if anyone has ideas how to name
that tag, we're open to suggestions.
I think our problem back then was that the inner tags are called <event>
so we might not want a tag with only one character difference
(<events>), to avoid confusion. In case of global headers we escaped
that by calling the container <http-headers>.

Cheers

How about <event-definitions> or <event-bindings>?

BTW, I?m still stuck trying to figure out what the available values are for the ?trigger? attribute. Ideally I?d like to trigger an event on play and pause, if possible.

Icecast streams don't have a notion of "pause", what do you mean by that?

I?m trying to trigger a URL event so that I can log listener statistics using an API.
I?m currently using listener authentication to track listener_add and listener_remove,
but using this method I seem to get a lot of spurious entries. So I wondered if events
would offer a more reliable way to track when a listener is actually playing a stream?

Thanks,
Rob

I?ve tried using listener_add and listener_remove as values for the ?trigger? attribute but
they don?t seem to work. Does anybody know what the available options are for event
triggers?

Subject: [Icecast] tunein Radio on Ios and Icecast: metadata disappeared
Message-ID: <550BE43A.9050900@gmail.com>

Hello,
I'd like to know if this is a problem of Icecast, of me or of tunein.
I'm thinking it is a tunein problem, anyway, from 2 3 months, if I type 
the address of my streaming:
www.nvapple.it:8000/stream
it works, but no metadata are showed.
I have latest tunein pro version on Ios8.


Have you the same problems with your icecast station?
I don't think it depends of Liquidsoap or Icecast, because metadata are 
present in other player, like Vlc, or in the icecast web administration, 
but I'd like to have a confirmation from you.
Thank you.

Message-ID: <84411683-c9676dadc83f09e195134a9cc86c924f@pmq3v.m5r2.onet>

Please add the following XSL file to IceCast distribution (web directory). It returns IceCast's state in raw XML form.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version = "1.0">

    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

With this simple file it's easy to check IceCast's status in bath scripts. For example:

LISTENERS=`curl -sf http://icecastserver:59000/status-raw.xsl|xmllint --xpath "/*/source[@mount='/radiost']/listeners/text()" -`

The EPEL repositories have version 2.4.1 of Icecast. Using older
versions is not recommended due to security issues in those.

You can find the official Icecast documentation here:
http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/

Should you have further questions, please direct them to this mailing list.

Thanks for your work. Similar stylesheets have been shared to this list
in the past and I'm sure someone will find your work useful.

We recently added JSON output in version 2.4 to Icecast and recommend
that, if someone needs machine readable access.
We also recommend to upgrade to version 2.4.1 due to the contained
security fixes. There are 2.4.1 packages available in many
distributions, and for those distributions carrying older versions there
are official 2.4.1 packages available linked from
http://icecast.org/download/


Best regards,

Thomas Ruecker

Sounds like a serious bug, but that's not the icecast.org version of
Icecast, but a forked version. Nothing we can do, sorry.
We recommend to use the official version, packages of latest 2.4.1 are
available in many distributions and here:

http://icecast.org/download/

For stream availability you can also check using the JSON API or a custom XSLT transform.

Hello,

I would like to ask if anybody knows of a equalizer or high pass filter that can be used to remove static from a live audio feed?    We have some streaming files that are a little distorted but its coming from the original files and or stream.   Turning down the volume just make it quieter but you still can hear distortion.   Any ideas?

Thanks.

Please check the output of "file /usr/local/bin/ezstream"
Does it maybe say it's 32bit?

Given the prefix of /usr/local - I'd say it's highly unlikely to have
come from a package.
There are RPM incantations to check that though.

Note that meanwhile Moritz has released ezstream 0.6.0.

You nailed it. Don't even know how this happened. OK, before I install
0.6.0, what's the best way to remove the one I have installed? Just
delete the files? Somehow I don't think so.

Thanks, it did. I'll see about removing the old one and installing the
new.

I ridded myself of the 32-bit and install the 64-bit version of
EZStream on Fedora 20 (Heizenbug). The RPM doesn't offer 0.6.0, but no
matter, I've encountered something new having to do with something
called 'madplay'.

$ /usr/bin/ezstream -c "/home/admin/ezstream/{my-file}.xml"
ezstream: Connected to http://localhost:8000/broadband
ezstream: Streaming ``{some other thing}''
sh: madplay: command not found
Assuming raw pcm input file
LAME 3.98.2 32bits (http://www.mp3dev.org/)

Encoding <stdin> to <stdout>
Encoding as 44.1 kHz j-stereo MPEG-1 Layer III (11x) 128 kbps qval=3
fatal error: can't update LAME-tag frame!

at which point, everything comes to a grinding halt. Have I got the
wrong version of Lame--32- versus 64-bit again?

I'm sorry, the previous ezstream RPM package maintainer did not registered the
package for monitoring new releases, so Fedora still delivers older version.
However I upgraded the package yesterday, so after few days (or a week) the
0.6.0 version should appear fedora-updates-testing (or fedora-updates)
repository on your favourite mirror.

You configuration file probably defines `madplay' as an external command for
execution. If this is your choice, you need to install the tool to.

The tool is provided by `madplay' package which for whatever (maybe legal)
reason is distributed by rpmfusion-free repository instead of the offical
Fedora's one. Once you enable the repozitory, simple "yum install madplay"
should install the tool into your computer.

That's what I figured. NO problem with that.

Thanks. But what is this thing, and should I bother with installing
it, or if I changed the configuratioin file you mentioned, would this
problem go away?

EZStream is what it sounds like.  It's a very basic streamer.  You can use 
it to stream files as they are, at the bitrate they are, etc.  For 
anything more complicated, you will need decoders and encoders.  This 
includes being able to stream multiple files at varying bitrates in a 
single stream.

Madplay is an MP3 decoder.  You will almost certainly want this if you 
want to stream MP3 files unless you want to do it without transcoding at 
all.

Message-ID: <l1r6hadv4a5mntr1p97cvrvivs9iuplr37@4ax.com>

It fell over earlier in the day and I found it d.o.a. The logs--access
and error--were clean. I booted the system, which came back nicely,
but without Icecast running. I ran it manually with

/usr/bin/icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml &

and everything was fine. Of course I had to start streaming services
manually, but that was OK, considering there was nothing for them to
talk to without Icecast running.

So I thought I'd see if either the access or error logs showed
anything. They didn't. In fact, I can find no place on the system
where what happened was logged. Thinking I'd maybe find a clue by
looking at the system console during the boot sequence, I enabled
that, and watched as the system rebooted a second time. Still nothing.

Without a traceback or stack dump or *anything* to look at, I'm rather
at a loss. What really gets me is not knowing what could have happened
during the day to cause Icecast to fall over of its own accord, which
could mean I may have done something without even knowing I did
anything. But it's a new system, nobody's losing millions of anything
over this, and I'm still learning.

Did the error.log show any signs of it shutting down or did it just end
abruptly?

Fedora 20 uses systemd. Have you checked the journal for the output when
Icecast start up failed?

Depending on your system configuration there might be at least some
vague note in the journal about a process segfaulting or such. I know at
least Ubuntu logs segfaults, not sure about Fedora.
If this happens again, you could set up coredumps. That would get us
something to debug.

Hehe, I'm sure we'll all learn something from this.

Unless I'm doing something very wrong, which is probably the case, the
messages files have no strings containing `icecast'.

Well, here's something that's telling--the output from running the
startup script /etc/init.d/icecast2 in a subshell:

Failed the test for existence? How's that?

"icecast2" is a common binary name used on debian and derivative systems.
Didn't you say that you were on Fedora which should rather have
"icecast" as the binary name?

https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/icecast
Says, that there are latest packages (of 2.4.1) for all supported
releases. (I love them for this!)

Did you for some strange reason install a debian package that was run
through 'alien'? Or its init script?

Cheers

Thomas

Ya know, I think I'm going to uninstall whatever Icecast we have, then
re-install it--after doing a backup first, of course! :-) This is just
getting too weird.

Hi,

I don't know about Fedora, but the Debian package won't run until you 
edit/etc/default/icecast2 to say "ENABLE=true".  This is to prevent an 
unconfigured Icecast from running with default passwords, etc.

Maybe the Fedora package has a similar mechanism.

Geoff.

Sounds sensible. :-)

No offense, but I'd generally look at the system administration
practices of wherever you are. You've had pretty much the same problem
two or three times now (32bit binaries on a 64bit machine where they had
no business of being) and now it looks like some Debian package content
on a Fedora machine. No idea what you have there, but could it be
something like Puppet running wild and deploying stuff where it really
shouldn't?

Good luck,

Thomas

OK, lots of things have happened since last I wrote.

1. I determined that yes, Geoff, somehow something got installed into
/usr/bin that was called icecast2, not icecast. That's been resolved
now with a *COMPLETE* uninstall/removal of icecast and re-install. The
icecast2 script in /etc/default has been modified to set ENABLE to
TRUE.

2. I looked at the script in /etc/init.d called icecast2 and
discovered a couple things. One, I do not think it was supplied with
the icecast install, since when I renamed it and re-installed (see
above), it didn't come back. So I looked into it and discovered that
yes indeed, it was looking for /usr/bin/icecast2. I removed the '2'
and opened a brand-new can of worms--looks like a recursive calling
problem.

Wellsir, you make a fine case, except for one problem--the sys admin
is yours very truly! I don't know how the Debian stuff got there, with
the exception of that startup script in init.d, and I know where that
came from, and who put it there, but it was done on my authority, so
I'm the puppet running amuck, I'm afraid.

Just to make it simple and clear, all I'm trying to do here is start
the thing automatically when the system boots, which isn't often, but
it does happen. I took a page from my old system and modified the
init.d script, which looked reasonable at the time. Like I've always
said to anybody who wanted to know, I'm the guy with just a little
knowledge, and you know how they say a little knowledge is dangerous?
Most times I can find my way back to daylight, and of course I've
learned a lot along the way about what to do and not do, what to check
and how to verify the results of those checks, but this one's really
got me.

I'm not sure why you want to add an init script here.
The fedora package of Icecast does contain a service definition or an
init script (depending on fedora version).

As FC20 uses systemd you should regardless be able to control things
using 'systemctl'.
random page explaining it:
http://dynacont.net/documentation/linux/Useful_SystemD_commands/

Could it be that you got confused due to the absence of the init script?
If so, time to learn systemd. :-)

Hehe, happens to all of us at times.

If so, then I need to find it and discover why it's not firing.

Yes to both. I'm off!

OK, took a crash course in systemctl. Got the service properly
enabled. However, got one odd error when I started it.

Are you logged in as another user account other than root? If not, that's the simplest way I would do it.

Can do, but that doesn't solve the problem of why systemctl doesn't
handle this properly, and what to do in the case of an unattended and
unintended reboot where the thing has to start on its own with no
intervention.

Check which config file it's trying to use, might be a different copy?
On Fedora the default config file is /etc/icecast.xml IIRC.

I have since defined location and contact, but they were only warnings
anyway. The XML definitely contains a changeowner section with user

Are those inside the <security> section?
http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html#security
We only use settings if they are inside the right tags.
