I have it working now but, is there a way to setup that when the user clicks on the m3u to play that it would open a player in the web page instead of creating the m3u file then having to open it in windows media player as some of the time WMP wont play the file.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Ron</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 2:30 AM, "Thomas B.

</span>There are a couple of things wrong with that.<br>
* The hostname is NOT an URL. If you don't plan to list on <a href="http://dir.xiph.org" target="_blank">dir.xiph.org</a>,<br>
leave it as "localhost" and ignore the warning.<br>
* example.m3u is wrong, as pointed out by Philipp<br>
<br>
I've attached a cleaned up icecast.xml file. With everything unused<br>
removed. I've renamed /example.m3u to /example. This will only work if<br>
you plan to stream mp3, if you stream any other codec then it needs the<br>
respective "customary filename extension". Else it will confuse player<br>
software. For Ogg/vorbis it would be /example.ogg and for Opus it would<br>
be /example.opus<br>
<br>
I'd suggest you complete the steps I pointed out earlier (connect a<br>
source client to the right mountpoint and then go to admin interface!).<br>
