Hi,
Two questions:
I wondered if there's a solution for an icecast 1.3.11 server to
automatically play a static stream by default (a welcome message
announcing future streams) whenever someone connects to / without needing
any source. The solution I use is to launch shout as a source and make it
loop over this welcome message, but I find this not optimal because most
of the time there's no listener. Is there anything better, maybe with
aliases ?
Is there a way to verify the quality of the transmission or benchmark it
without having to listen to the stream and optionnally produce a graph
showing transmission errors: ideally I'd want to simulate a number of
simultaneous listeners. I've tried with ab but is it really the same as
listeners like mpg123 or winamp ? I have to be sure that a certain number
of clients can listen from another point in our wan.
I wanted to search the mailing list archive but this doesn't seem to work.
thanks in advance for any help.
