Is it possible to force Icecast to stream in a specific stream type, such as OGG, regardless of the source or input? For example, if a streaming client connects to an Icecast server with an MP3 format stream, can Icecast be forced to send it out as OGG or AAC or anything else? Or does Icecast simply pass the stream through unconverted?
Hi Steve, Icecast simply passes the stream through unconverted. You'd want to employ something that will convert the stream for you before it hits Icecast.

Hi Steve, I think you are able to do what you want with liquidsoap.

One already mentioned possibility to achieve your goal would be liquidsoap. The other one - I am using since a very long time reliably - is streamTranscoder v3 from former oddsock.org. Sadly oddsock has been shut down a couple of years ago, but the software is still available, e.g. here: http://dl.audioaddictz.com/Broadcast_Tools/ StreamTranscoder v3 can be configured to listen to specific mount points, recode the stream on the fly and serve it to another icecast mount point. I am using hq ogg streams as "master" source (160kb/s or 192kb/s) and recode those to lower .ogg bitrates as well as mp3 in various bitrates. It works very well and stable on my Debian and Ubuntu based icecast servers. hth, .kloschi -- "You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

That's what I thought. Just wanted to be sure. On Sat, 10 Oct 2015 15:19:01 -0700, you wrote:>Hi Steve, Icecast simply passes the stream through unconverted.
