<p>Hi BKF,</p>
<p>you can configure icecast to serve thousands of listeners but
it's not going to happen on anything less then an industrial
strength internet connection.</p>
<p>If you have ADSL you can probably handle 5 listeners maybe 10 on
an average service.</p>
<p>If you have VDSL increase that to 15 maybe.</p>
<p>If you have fibre it might do 25.</p>
<p>It all depends on the service provided by your ISP and the
condition of the cabling between the local switch and your
location. <br>
</p>
<p>They control how much data you can send and recieve even on "
unlomited "<br>
</p>
<p>Then it depends on the modem router, and your in house network,
although these are less likely problem areas.</p>
<p>If you want 5000 listeners you have to send audio to a Streaming
Service Provider who has a BIG internet upload capability which
costs money.</p>
<p>There are some that charge rather low rates for 200-1000
connections because they know that while you pay for capability
very few stations have more then one or two listeners on line at
any time. <br>
</p>
<p>I support one that has up to 200 listeners and we may be at 40 or
so except when there is some critical news breaking which takes us
over the 100.</p>
<p>We have a feed for an app and a feed for tunein and a feed for
the website. The app has the highest usage <br>

<div>Hi all,</div>
<div>First of all, thank you for supporting us.</div>
<div>I've installed Libretime (<a
href="https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/LibreTime/libretime</a>)
which user Icecast2 on Ubuntu Server 16.04.</div>
<div>I've also developed a mobile application to listen to
stream myhost:8000/mount.</div>
<div>My problem is when the number of listeners increases up
500 (On live streaming with butt), the application
blockes, and I hardly get info from
myhost:8000/status-json.xsl.</div>
<div>My question is : How shoud I configure my Ubuntu /
Icecast / Liquidsoup to allow more than 5000 listeners to
listen music without any issue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
