[Icecast] Best source for creating multiple streams

[Camara, Carlos]

In the ices-playlist.XML file there are two tags <logpath>/pathtofile</logpath> and <logfile>ices.log</logfile>

You can choose a different name for each instance/stream: <logfile>mylist.log</logfile>
Or you can change the path for the each instance/stream: <logpath/media/music/</logpath><logfile>ices.log</logfile>
Just be sure the account that the instance runs under has write to that directory.

<logpath>/tmp</logpath>
<!--  where logs, etc go.  -->
<logfile>ices.log</logfile>

How do you create different logs files for each stream?

With IceS2 this is easily accomplished by copying the 'ices-playlist.XML' file (I have 3 copies in the same directory with different names). Then define a new mount point in the xml file and point  to a different play list file within the XML ( random can be enabled in the xml).  Once this is complete, in terminal start ices2 with each xml.

~ $ sudo ices2 /media/music/ices-playlist_s.XML
~ $ sudo ices2 /media/music/ices-playlist_mylist.XML
~ $ sudo ices2 /media/music/ices-playlist_classic.XML

I also define different log files for each stream.

Hi there. I'm trying to find a way to create multiple streams with one source client. Each of the streams should read from a different playlist file and randomly pull and play songs from the file. I know how to do this with a single stream with clients such as IceS and Ezstream, but I don't see a way to specify different playlists for each mountpoint. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a source I could use to do this?
