Hello all
I am sending my icecast configuration. What i am trying to
do is 'live stream' so as to be able to broadcast radio
live on my website. I am using icecast as the server and
ices as the streamer. Below is the configuration for
icecast and following it is my configuration for ices. I
cannot seem to find out where i went wrong.

Hi: I can see two problems. First, you've used 127.0.0.1 as the hostname in the icecast config. this will only work for anyone using the local machine to listen, if you use the inbuilt m3u generation. To illustrate: Someone calls your server with: http://yourserver.com:8000/mystream.ogg.m3u They'll get an m3u file back looking like this: http://127.0.0.1:8000/mystream.ogg which won't do them any good since 127.0.0.1 will *always* reach the same machine that called it. The other problem is that you have two encode sections defined. If your intention is to have two streams, then you need two <instance> blocks, since ices needs to know where to send each stream. Also, there's no need to define both nominal bitrate and quality, one or the other will do just fine. Hope this helps, Geoff. -- Geoff Shang <geoff@hitsandpieces.net> Phone: +61-418-96-5590 MSN: geoff@acbradio.org Make sure your E-mail can be read by everyone! http://www.betips.net/etc/evilmail.html Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

Only 1 encode per instance, so if you want multiple streams then use multiple instances. karl.
