I have developed this patch to avoid us to create "by hand"
one file for each listing format for each mounts.

One part of the problem with icecast is that you cannot choose
mime  type of each web files or having ASIS file like on Apache.

I have cloned fserve functions to have dissociate functions
for each kind of listing format and don't have one huge function

I agree some part of the code could be included in a single
function to avoid code duplication. Make a function dispatcher
to point to each function who give the corresponding HTTP header
for each format.

Best Regards,
Guy

with the xslt approach, it would be 1 xsl file for each format not each 
mountpoint. The xslt would just be a template.

I've made it now so that you can specify the mime type in the xsl file 
with the media-type setting. It was hardcoded to one type before which 
was limiting.

I suspect we could define a /admin/buildplaylist and pass the type as an 
arg, allowing for multiple types and multiple streams to be listed. So 
for example /admin/playlist?mount=/stream&type=pls

karl.

Is it at all possible to add Icecast2 Relays or Mounts without having 
to restart the server, and thus drop all the other existing 
connections in the process?

Thanks.
