Icecast - Aug 2004 - control the stream

hi,

first of all, sorry for my horrible english.
second, i need a method to control the stream for my users.
i want a live stream, one hour per day and just for paying users.
the users they are logged in but not paying for the service
just become the first 5 minutes of the one hour stream.

first i think about to manage it with php, but thats not the
right way i think. because one apache child for every user
is not very good. the same for using mod_proxy.

have anyone of you an idea to solve this problem?


greets,
tobsn

Paying customers are the sort of thing authenticated streams are for,
this is already implemented in the trunk code for next release.

Time limited clients are not implemented although the client information
does store the login time, so it could be possible terminate clients on
that basis.
