[Icecast] Can't connect winamp source to icecast server
Gidday, I have a winamp 2.95 source that cannot upload the stream to my icecast server. Since icecast is compatible with shoutcast surely a winamp source should be able to connect? any help appreciated, Greg My icecast.xml follows: <icecast> <limits> <clients>100</clients> <sources>2</sources> <threadpool>5</threadpool> <queue-size>102400</queue-size> <client-timeout>30</client-timeout> <header-timeout>15</header-timeout> <source-timeout>10</source-timeout> </limits> <authentication> <!-- Sources log in with username 'source' --> <source-password>mypassword</source-password> <!-- Relays log in username 'relay' --> <relay-password>hackme</relay-password> <!-- Admin logs in with the username given below --> <admin-user>admin</admin-user> <admin-password>mypassword</admin-password> </authentication> <!-- Uncomment this if you want directory listings --> <!-- <directory> <yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout> <yp-url>dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url> </directory> <directory> <yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout> <yp-url>oddsock.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url> </directory> --> <hostname>vector</hostname> <!-- You can use these two if you only want a single listener --> <!--<port>8000</port> --> <!--<bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address>--> <!-- You may have multiple <listener> elements --> <listen-socket> <port>8000</port> <!-- <bind-address>127.0.0.1</bind-address> --> </listen-socket> <!-- <listen-socket> <port>8001</port> </listen-socket> --> <!--<master-server>127.0.0.1</master-server>--> <!--<master-server-port>8001</master-server-port>--> <!--<master-update-interval>120</master-update-interval>--> <!--<master-password>hackme</master-password>--> <!-- <relay> <server>127.0.0.1</server> <port>8001</port> <mount>/example.ogg</mount> <local-mount>/different.ogg</local-mount> <relay-shoutcast-metadata>0</relay-shoutcast-metadata> </relay> --> <!-- Only define a <mount> section if you want to use advanced options, like alternative usernames or passwords <mount> <mount-name>/example-complex.ogg</mount-name> <username>othersource</username> <password>hackmemore</password> <max-listeners>1</max-listeners> <dump-file>/tmp/dump-example1.ogg</dump-file> <fallback-mount>/example2.ogg</fallback-mount> </mount> --> <fileserve>1</fileserve> <paths> <!-- basedir is only used if chroot is enabled --> <basedir>/usr/share/icecast</basedir> <!-- Note that if <chroot> is turned on below, these paths must both be relative to the new root, not the original root --> <logdir>./icecast</logdir> <webroot>/usr/share/icecast/web</webroot> <adminroot>/usr/share/icecast/admin</adminroot> <!-- <pidfile>/usr/share/icecast/icecast.pid</pidfile> --> <!-- Aliases: treat requests for 'source' path as being for 'dest' path May be made specific to a port or bound address using the "port" and "bind-address" attributes. --> <!-- <alias source="/foo" dest="/bar"/> --> </paths> <logging> <accesslog>access.log</accesslog> <errorlog>error.log</errorlog> <loglevel>4</loglevel> <!-- 4 Debug, 3 Info, 2 Warn, 1 Error --> </logging> <security> <chroot>0</chroot> <!-- <changeowner> <user>nobody</user> <group>nobody</group> </changeowner> --> </security> </icecast>

You say above that I'd need to run 3 copies of shoutcast on 6 ports to handle 3 streams, so is it possible to use SHOUTCast send a single stream to an icecast server?> > Try the Oddcast plugin instead - > > oddsock.org/tools/oddcastv2_wa2Thanks, I'll give that a go for my own tinkering.
