<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Just a quick sidenote: though it's not
technically necessary, it's advisable to create an extension of
the codec type for the mountpoint configured, such as:<br>
<br>
<mount-name>/live.opus</mount-name><br>
<br>
This allows a wider range of listener clients to understand how to
handle the incoming stream.<br>

<p dir="ltr">Hello dear Joerg,</p>
<p dir="ltr">From your question it can be understood that you are
less familiar with the configuration file of the software
("icecast.xml").</p>
<p dir="ltr">Basically, the answer to your questions is very
simple. You won't find what you're looking for inside the
software, because it's not there. By default the data you were
looking for does not appear in the configuration file.</p>
<p dir="ltr">But, it's very easy to add them, and get the result
you're looking for.<br>
I myself always define these things directly in the
configuration file, to overcome wrong information that will be
inserted inside the encoders.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I will write to you below an example of the code that
should be added to the software's configuration file, you should
of course change the words to whatever suits you, but I would
like to point out that as of the current version, some things do
not have an effect as they should have (in my view, this is a
problem with the software and not with the settings - the
settings that I will indicate to you comes directly from the
software's official documentation).</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is important to remember that the Icecast server
must be Restart after each change in the software configuration
file, in order for it to take effect. Although it is possible to
settle for a Reload instead of a full Restart, but in my
opinion, it is almost always advisable to Restart.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Before the code, I'll give you a brief concise
explanation:</p>
<p dir="ltr">For each anchor point, you create its own customized
code. If I'm not mistaken, there doesn't appear to be an
efficient way to define those details so that they appear
automatically in all the anchor points.<br>
On my server, I created another anchor (which always runs), the
purpose of which was to prevent disconnection of listeners from
the stream, if there was a problem in the studio, and the
broadcast from the studio was disconnected.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The code of the anchor defines which anchor point it
refers to.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Let's say your anchor point is called "Live":</p>
<p dir="ltr"><mount><br>
<mount-name>/live</mount-name><br>
<stream-name>My Radio Name</stream-name><br>
<stream-description>My Radio
Description</stream-description><br>
<stream-url><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://radio.example.com/">https://radio.example.com/</a></stream-url><br>
<genre>Pop</genre><br>
</mount></p>
<p dir="ltr">With a few other things I usually use on me:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><mount><br>
<mount-name>/live</mount-name><br>
<stream-name>My Radio Name</stream-name><br>
<stream-description>My Radio
Description</stream-description><br>
<stream-url><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://radio.example.com/">https://radio.example.com/</a></stream-url><br>
<genre>Pop</genre><br>
<fallback-mount>/backup</fallback-mount><br>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override><br>
<hidden>0</hidden><br>
<public>0</public><br>
</mount></p>
<p dir="ltr">Now with an explanation:</p>
<p dir="ltr"><mount> = The tag indicating the start of
setting anchor details<br>
<mount-name>/live</mount-name><br>
<stream-name>My Radio Name</stream-name> = The
tag indicating the name of the station<br>
<stream-description>My Radio
Description</stream-description> = The tag indicating the
station description<br>
<stream-url><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://radio.example.com/">https://radio.example.com/</a></stream-url>
= The tag indicating the link to the station website<br>
<genre>Pop</genre> = The tag indicating the
genre of the station's content<br>
<fallback-mount>/backup</fallback-mount> = The
tag indicating the anchor used for backup when disconnecting the
anchor from the studio<br>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override> = The
tag that indicates that you must return to the source, when
renewing the connection to the studio<br>
<hidden>0</hidden> = The tag indicating whether
the anchor will be hidden from the software information page<br>
<public>0</public> = The tag indicating whether
the anchor will be visible to radio station websites indexes (if
your broadcast is not private, then you should change to 1)<br>
</mount> = The tag indicating the end of setting anchor
details</p>
<p dir="ltr">Of course there are other details that can be set,
such as a different username and password, but I wrote mainly
what you needed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On Linux servers, the configuration file is usually
located in this path (I edit the configuration file with a text
editor, and I access it via SFTP, for reasons of simplicity and
convenience for me):</p>
<p dir="ltr">/etc/icecast2</p>
<p dir="ltr">And the Restart command is like this:</p>
<p dir="ltr">/etc/init.d/icecast2 restart</p>
<p dir="ltr">I use a Caddy server to provide support for streaming
encrypted traffic (fully automatically), so that browsers don't
block the stream.<br>
If this interests you, I'd be happy to show you how.<br>
But I don't think it's right to explain everything here.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Please pay attention:<br>
I am not a programmer or a software expert, but I have been
using it for many years and may already know how to help you.<br>
In any case, I would ask that you feel comfortable contacting me
directly by email if that seems more appropriate for you.<br>
I may be able to help you with more difficulties on the subject.<br>
I have a little difficulty thinking about everything at once, so
I may have forgotten some things, but I don't want to flood
messages here, so that's why I also offered to contact me
directly (if it's allowed in the rules here - I didn't check).</p>
<p dir="ltr">My Email is: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:s@jws.co.il">s@jws.co.il</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Good luck!!</p>
