Hi Jason, I am not sure I understand your question, but just as Shoutcast, you can set up a direct link to your stream in Icecast like: http://youricecastserver:port/mountpoint. For example: http://myradio:8000/live.ogg or http://myradio:8000/live.mp3. If you don't like this kind of link, you can easily set up a script in Javascript that would redirect the user to the stream. Let's say you call this page "jump_to_stream.htm", the code would be: <html> <head> <title>Jump to my Radio</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <BODY onLoad=javascript:window.location.href="http://myicecastserver:8000/mystream .ogg"> </body> </html> Cheers, MAX _____ From: owner-icecast@xiph.org [mailto:owner-icecast@xiph.org] On Behalf Of Jason L Sent: Sunday, February 29, 2004 1:35 AM To: icecast@xiph.org Subject: [icecast] Direct URL Ok for shoutcast you can do http://domain.com/listen.pls to get the feed what can you do for icecast so it can be a clickable url? <p><p><p>--- >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 everybody, I have a theoretical question here. A 128K stream is a 128 KiloBITS (NOT kiloBYTES) per second stream; am I right? Is a 512k internet connection a 512 kiloBITS or 512 kiloBYTES connection? 128 KiloBITS = 16 KiloBYTES (8 bits = 1 byte). I am wondering if a 512k connection (upload and download) could THEORITICALLY handle 4 (512/128) or 32 (512/16) 128k streams? I am confused because I often read that to calculate the potential number of listeners with a given connection; you just divide the connection speed by the stream bit rate... is it true? In this case, how is doing SomaFM to handle 4000 listeners at 128k?? Do they have a 512 MB connection??? Thanks in advance, MAX <p><p>--- >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,> Ok for shoutcast you can do http://domain.com/listen.pls > to get the feed > what can you do for icecast so it can be a clickable url?I haven't touched sc for at least 2 years (icecast2 is so damn good), but I think I know what you want. Icecast2 will automagically respond with an playlist file if e.g. a browser is pointed to http://abc.def/yourmount.ogg.m3u . This means: appending ".m3u" to the mountpoint will give you an valid URL you can point a webbrowser to. This won't work if the stream is not connected. If you want several streams to appear in this playlistfile you'll have to create this file manually and copy it into the webroot of your Icecast2 Server. Same procedure if you don’t like the automatic filename.
