[Icecast] intro file error

[Tony Harding]

My Icecast server is on the same machine as my automation system and so has
all the audio file locally. This includes the news files.

 

As Icecast does not do on demand playing of files I want to play the news
file as an intro to a stream that will not be public and is there just for
me to check the news anytime to hear what is going on and react if
necessary.

 

This is Windows version 2.4.4 on a VPS 

 

The file I want to play is E:\DAB1\Other\RNH\RNH-bulletins\twominnews.mp3

 

I have set up a separate mounting point /news to listen

 

 

   <mount type="normal">

        <mount-name>/news</mount-name>

        <burst-size>65536</burst-size>

        <intro>E:\DAB1\Other\RNH\RNH-bulletins\twominnews.mp3</intro>

        <public>0</public>

    </mount>

 

 

This reports

 

WARN source/source.c Cannot open intro file
"./web\E:\DAB1\Other\RNH\RNH-bulletins\twominnews.mp3": Invalid argument

 

 

How can I get around the ./web\E: error?

 

I have tried putting a shortcut in /web called twominnews.mp3 that points at
the file and using the intro tag as

 

<intro>twominnews.mp3</intro>

 

This reports 

 

WARN source/source.c Cannot open intro file "./web\twominnews.mp3": No such
file or directory

 

Any suggestions welcome

 

 

Regards

Tony
