[Icecast] How to fire up Icecast?

[redwood.andrew at gmail.com]

Thank you for posting the doco link, Jordan!

 

The first thing I read is that, for Windows … it only runs on:

*	Windows Vista
*	Windows 7
*	Windows 8.

 

Which is a problem – as I am running Windows 10.  ☹

 

Are you able to confirm which of the following statements is true:

1.	The doco hasn’t been updated – it does run on W10, or
2.	W10 is indeed not supported?

 

 

Thanks,

Andrew

May I suggest studying the excellent documentation? This is a really good place to gain a solid understanding of the fundamentals of Icecast. It's incredibly powerful, thus has a bit of a learning curve.

Thank you, Johan.

 

I clicked on the bat file – and up came a nice screen saying something like “load http://localhost:8000 into your browser”.  😊  (Sorry for not being precise – my email is on a different computer to the dedicated one for Roon, on a different floor of the house.)

 

So I did just that – and got a nice screen which said “Icecast2 Status”.

 

So what do I need to do next?

 

Note: also on the first screen (which said “load http://localhost:8000 into your browser”), were some error messages – such as: ”hostname not configured – using default”.

 

Do I have to resolve these errors before Icecast will start working?

 

Regards,

Andrew

Just start the windows batch file (icecast.bat)

Hi there,

 

I have downloaded Icecast – see here:

 

 

I don’t seem to have a “.exe” file which I can click on to fire up Icecast?

 

Can anyone tell me what I need to do, to get Icecast working?

 

 

Thank you,

Andrew
