is there a way to create multiple streams/channels through icecast. P.S: i am using icecast with winamp and edcast plugin. To create multiple streams i need to create multiple instances of winamp. But i want to save all data regarding icecast( icecast/ winamp/ edcast/ database) on an online server so that server remains online everytime. Creating multiple instances will take a lot of space. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Just create additional mountpoints, that will solve your issue, you don't
need additional icecast instances. The documentation has this explained.

This page also nicely visualizes the concept: http://liveice.sourceforge.net/understanding.html> P.S: i am using icecast with winamp and edcast plugin.

If you want to stream the same content at several qualities and codecs, then one instance with multiple stream output can work too.> But i want to save all data regarding icecast( icecast/ winamp/ > edcast/ database) on an online server so that server remains online > everytime. Creating multiple instances will take a lot of space.Not really. It's fairly manageable. One Icecast server and some source clients. Of course a micro-instance of $random_cloud_service will maybe not be sufficient. But given, that even physical servers can already be had for around 10-20?/month that shouldn't be of issue.
