Hello again,<br>
<br>
I'm not sure to understand you, but it seems that your system is
missing something. When you use IceCast, there must be, apart from
the icecast server, a source (in the radio station), and the
listeneres. As far as I know, VLC is a player, so it is what a
listener uses to listen/watch the stream that the server is sending.
But you need also something to send the data to the server (e.g.
oggfwd, or many others). I'm not sure if you can use VLC for this.<br>
<br>
I suggest reading the following links:<br>
<br>

<br>
On the other hand, are you running Windows, Linux, ...?<br>
<br>
If you're running Linux, you can use for example GStreamer to send
video to your icecast server, typing the following command in a
console (all in one line).<br>
<br>
gst-launch-0.10 -v v4l2src device=/dev/video0 !
video/x-raw-yuv,width=320,height=240 ! queue ! videorate !
video/x-raw-yuv,framerate=25/2 ! videoscale !
video/x-raw-yuv,width=360,height=288 ! theoraenc ! oggmux !
shout2send ip=localhost port=8000 mount=stream.ogg password=hackme<br>
<br>
(of course, you should change ip, port, etc with your own values).<br>
<br>
Alternatively, FFmpeg could be used. The following command used to
work for me (one line):<br>
<br>
ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -s 320x240
-r 25 -aq 2 -ac 2 -ar 44100 -acodec libvorbis -f ogg - | oggfwd
localhost 8000 hackme /stream.ogg<br>
<br>
But it stopped working with recent versions of FFmpeg (I don't know
why).<br>
<br>
I hope this helps you. Feel free to ask further questions.<br>
<br>
