If you don't enter a trailing slash in your player, the player uses it anyway, since the HTTP protocol requires it.

This is what I was sorta complaining about - the documentation is lacking. I still don't comprehend how the mountpoints work at all. Can anyone explain to me how they work ? Does the mountpoint point to a local file/folder or is it something else ? The example configurations just confuse matters.

Hi: Mountpoints are used to allow hosting several streams on the one server. So instead of only having the one stream on port 8000, for example, you can have as many as you can think of mountpoints for. Mountpoints only have to be specified in the streamer's configuration (ices in your case), and are created when the streamer connects to the server. So, assuming I remember your example correctly since I've deleted it, you'd tune into your stream by entering http://x.x.x.x:8000/silk.ogg into your player, where x.x.x.x is your server's IP address. Note that I'm not sure what the expected behaviour is when no mountpoint is specified by the player (i.e. playing http://x.x.x.x:8000/). Hope this hasn't confused you further.

Thanks, Geoff! Trust me, you can only make things clearer than the docs at this point. Now, one last question: How does a mountpoint work ? Am I pointing it to an actual file since I've already specified the playlist ? Or is this just a 'virtual' pointer used to connect to the server ? Should I point to the first file in my playlist ? How does the server know that when it receives requests to this mountpoint that it should start streaming the audio ? ----------------------------------- Todd Brill mailto:tbrill@rackforce.com Linux Network Engineer Rackforce Hosting Inc. http://www.rackforce.com ===================================> Hi: > > Mountpoints are used to allow hosting several streams on the one server.
