[Icecast] Best source for creating multiple streams

[Nick D'Angelo]

Carl, are you saying that I need ices2 for two mount points?

 

I don't have an ices-playlist.xml file, I only have an
/etc/icecast2/Icecast.xml file.

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? Thanks
