Icecast - Aug 2004 - yp.icecast.org || when does your stream come into the db?

hello,

I have a stream which has been up and running for about 20
hours now.

It's already in the yp.shoutcast.com, that happened within
minutes. 

However, I would also like my stream to be in the
yp.icecast.org list as well. 

How long should this take? 

cheers,

t.

(p.s. is under genre "jazz" in the shoutcast yp. the stream
is http://194.109.227.136:8000, using liveice and icecast)

It _is_ streaming, you just aren't accessing it right.

You can't just point your browser to a stream.  The browser will always
download the content, and then pass it off to the helper application.
If that content is a stream, it will just download forever.

You need to create some 'pointer' file, generally an m3u file, that
points to your stream.  The browser downloads the m3u, passes it to your
client, and that starts streaming the real data.

When I try the URL above my system attempts to down
load a 50 MB file. It isn't streaming. I have the same
problem with my own system. What are we doing wrong?

If you're clicking on the URL such that it launches a web browser then
you're going about it the wrong way.  That URL needs to be opened as a
location in your MP3 player (e.g. ctrl-L in winamp).  If you want to click
on a link in a web browser, you will need to make a PLS or M3U file with
the location data in it so that this is downloaded and opened by your
player.
