Afaik shoutcast does this by checking if you are using a browser (then download is not permitted) or a streaming application. Well, any such solution would be helpful to me since I don't want all dumb-users to be able to download a stream. Sure you can trick solutions like this by setting a user-agent via wget or something - but ... --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Hi: You need to make a .pls or .m3u file with the URL to the stream in it and link that from your website. M3U files just have the URL to your stream in them, for example: http://server:8000/yourstream.ogg Just put this single line in a .M3U file, and then link to it from your website like so: <A HREF="yourstream.m3u">Click here to listen</A> PLS files are a bit more complicated and look like this: [playlist] File1=http://server:port/yourstream.ogg Title1=Your stream title Length1=-1 NumberOfEntries=1 Version=2 Again, you just link to a file like this as shown above. Also note that icecast2 has the built-in ability to auto-generate .M3U files for the streams it serves. Simply link to http://server:port/yourstream.ogg.m3u and, providing the hostname element is set correctly in the config file, an M3U file will be returned with the specified stream.
