Hi there,

Got a quick question about SSL with icecast. I've got a relay setup
and working to use icecast over SSL, however an issue I'm running into
is when trying to publish to directory services, the link it
distributes is http://<hostname-defined>:port/live, not https://. If I
add https:// into the <hostname> directive of the config it generates
http://https://<hostname-defined>:port/live. Is there a way to have
iceast publish an https URL? Otherwise browsers block the stream (or
in this case they can't connect since that node is SSL only)
Icecast Version: 2.4.4-1 from the xiph repo.

Appreciate any help on this!

Regards,
Ralph S.

Hi,

this is currently not possible with Icecast 2.4.x and its
planned to address it in Icecast 2.5.

Thanks for the info! How stable is 2.5 right now? Any ETA on release?

Buenas tardes,

Este hilo no est? relacionado con la habilitaci?n de SSL, hay recursos
en l?nea para lograr este objetivo. De lo contrario, si todav?a tiene

okay i found now a way but it thow me an error, that is maybe a bug.

 ?icecast from 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/xiph/xUbuntu_18.04

that should be the offical stable branch. version 2.4.4

i using this code at status-json.xml tode ide the listener peak, that 
works fine

<xsl:template match="icestats/source/listener_peak">
 ? <xsl:if test="following-sibling::*"></xsl:if>
 ? <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::*)">"dummy":null}</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

but if i use this to hide the listeners

<xsl:template match="icestats/source/listeners">
 ? <xsl:if test="following-sibling::*"></xsl:if>
 ? <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::*)">"dummy":null}</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

the json throw me an error

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected ',' or ']' after array element at line 
1 column 804 of the JSON data

if i cheack the raw data it seems that if i kill listeners the line with 
listenur has no"{" befor to open this argument.

somone has an idea to fix this?

This is the sort of thing that's usually solved by using Liquidsoap and
schedules, and different input "harbor"s on different incoming ports.

Been aware of icecast for years, but only today started looking into actually using it and would appreciate some help and answers to a couple of questions:-

? Does icecast use unicast and/or multicast?

? If multicasting, do all listeners simply latch on to the same multicast stream?

? If no local clients listening, does that mean nothing is being broadcast onto the local network?

? If relaying a stream from another server and unicasting locally, am I right in thinking that it pulls a single stream from that external server, but can then re-broadcast that to multiple local listener clients?

? If set up to relay as above, but there no local clients actually listening, will icecast still be pulling the stream from that external server over the connecting network (broadband link in my use case)?

Hope someone can assist with my icecast knowledge building.

Icecast implements ICY protocol (defined by Shoutcast software) which is
similar to HTTP, hence TCP, hence unicast.

Yes.

No. When relaying another ICY stream (e.g. from another icecast server),
icecast disconnects from the external server.

But do not get confused with connections from "sources" (in constrast to
relaying). Sources are origins of a stream (a sound from micropone or local
files encoded into a stream, e.g. with ices tool) and they manage the
connection to icecast. Sources initiate and close the connecion. Thus they
usually remain streaming even if no ICY client is connected to the icecast
server.

Thank you for your response. Most helpful.

Sounds like the ?relay? option is perfect for my needs, however I?d like to ask further about the other question.

What I want to do is broadcast on my LAN (i.e. around the house) some satellite radio streams, by which I mean stations that broadcast on FreeSat (here in the UK). FTA and unencrypted. I have a satellite tuner card in the mediaserver and I?d like to be able to access those radio streams (about a dozen, max.) and make them available to any IP radio receiver (that should be able to use Icecast streams).

The tuner card and Icecast would be on the same server and with no clients listening, there would be no output onto the LAN and if those stations were still ?streaming? internally, that?s probably not an issue.

However, any suggestions as to how I could connect the Sat tuner output to Icecast input? The Sat tuner is standards compliant (I believe, V4l?), but I could run minisatip, so those stations would be accessible as standard SAT>IP streams. But again, any suggestions how to make this connection between the Sat tuner and Icecast?

Hi, the dummy element is a workaround for a incorrect JSON issue due to
the way how the JSON is generated from XML using XSLT. It can be 
ignored.

I have almost no experience with V4L2. So I cannot help you.

Here
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/113668/multiple-fm-radio-streams-from-dev-radio-via-v4l2-ices2-and-icecast>
somebody reported that he uses IceS program to read sound from an ALSA device
which is in real a virtual ALSA devices provided by a PulseAudio deamon which
feeds the ALSA output with a PCM sound read from a /dev/radio0 character
device provides by his V4L2 tunner. Then IceS compresses the PCM audio into
a format of you choice (e.g. Vorbis) and forwards the compressed audio to
an Icecast server.

I have some doubts whether this is the best option. In my opinion
a satellite broadcasting uses an MPEG TS stream. Thus it should be possible
just to repack the MPEG format from a MPEG TS container into ICY protocol
without transcoding the audio. That should preserve quality of the sound and
conserve a CPU power. If it is possible, then I bet somebody has already
written such software. E.g. ffmpeg can be requested not to recompress with
a "copy" codec. And here
<https://gist.github.com/keiya/c8a5cbd4fe2594ddbb3390d9cf7dcac9> is ffmpeg
used as a source for Icecast.

I have almost no experience with V4L2. So I cannot help you.

Here
<https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/113668/multiple-fm-radio-streams-from-dev-radio-via-v4l2-ices2-and-icecast>
somebody reported that he uses IceS program to read sound from an ALSA 
device
which is in real a virtual ALSA devices provided by a PulseAudio deamon 
which
feeds the ALSA output with a PCM sound read from a /dev/radio0 character
device provides by his V4L2 tunner. Then IceS compresses the PCM audio 
into
a format of you choice (e.g. Vorbis) and forwards the compressed audio 
to
an Icecast server.

I have some doubts whether this is the best option. In my opinion
a satellite broadcasting uses an MPEG TS stream. Thus it should be 
possible
just to repack the MPEG format from a MPEG TS container into ICY 
protocol
without transcoding the audio. That should preserve quality of the sound 
and
conserve a CPU power. If it is possible, then I bet somebody has already
written such software. E.g. ffmpeg can be requested not to recompress 
with
a "copy" codec. And here
<https://gist.github.com/keiya/c8a5cbd4fe2594ddbb3390d9cf7dcac9> is 
ffmpeg
used as a source for Icecast.

Well, I do IT via pulseaudio and in the near past more with direct 
grabbing alsa device via gstreamer and libshout.
IT is broken since Dezember and iam very sure that libshout here on 
Gentoo is broken.
Maybe a fix after the actual release? ;)
I pretty need grabbing alsa and send it via libshout / gstreamer to 
icecast.
I'm also in the chat for questions.
kkthx

Much appreciate your responses guys. I will have a read and look into the methods used and see what I can figure out. I will undoubtedly be back with more questions.
