Icecast - Jun 2016 - IceCast Stream stopping due to server client limit reached

Our IceCast streamer version 2.4.1 provides an aac and mp3 stream from our
community radio station. We have recently had a number of streaming feed
drop outs that appear to occur when the error log says the server client
limit reached. The config file is set to limit at 100. I could change this
but the connections keep coming until I reboot the IceCast program. We
normally only have a few clients listening at a time so getting 100 plus
hits sounds like maybe an attack.

 

How can I stop the drop outs in this situation?

 

Thanks.

Are you using AWS?

It depends on what the situation is.

There are a lot access to the admin interface with bad credentials
according to your log. Maybe an accesslog would help to clear that up.
However the accesslog may contain more sensitive data.


With best regards,
