<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is it true it's not possible to start or stop
indvidual streams using icecast2+icegenerator(liveice,ezstream)
combination?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i've tried mp3 directory streaming as well as
playlist streaming - it works, but with no possibility to see full mp3 file
listing and play control (like choosing a song, starting, stopping play).
Icecast can't even diferentiate /dev/dsp input from playlist input. Is it
denied by limitation of streaming technology itself ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i can write a script that will listen to user
request and will start icegenerator session, wich will mount requested file to
icecast, but 1000 mp3 files will require 1000 mounts - its not
logical. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Maybe someone has allready developed this
technology?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i can't test playlist streaming possibilities in
liveice - it complains about freebsd directory structure and fails to
build.....ezstream uses outdated libshout version - so build on Freebsd 5.4 is
also not possible.</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>any thoughts are welcome</FONT></DIV>
