Icecast - Aug 2004 - broadcasters in Boston MA?

A lot of people seem to be getting ahead of themselves here...
Yes, you will need a .pls file of some sort like listen.pls to follow the
:8000/ for example. But if your browser does not know what the hell it is
supposed to do with a .pls file then its just going to try and down load it
to disk. You must have .pls files associated with your player. this is
pretty straight forward to do if you have not done it already. Now, I have
pointed this out simply because it's probably the thing that is being over
looked in addition to some of the URL usage. I know that some people choose
to use mount points in the url like :8000/music instead of .pls files but
.pls or .m3u are best for compatibility I find when dealing with the rest of
the world that does not have the "tweaking/deduction" skills needed to
open
their player with the url doing a copy/paste from the website. It is amazing
how many people cannot figure this out.

Just trying to help...

Hello

I'm trying to use liveice to connect to an icecast 1.3.10 server. I'm
running
liveice on a linux 7.0 pentium, and have lame installed. When I try to connect
to icecast, liveice says 'Didn't get OK from server', and the server
side says
it's kicking my stream because of 'Stupid Headers'. Any help or
hints will be
appreciated.

the problem is in your liveice.cfg

go into the liveice.cfg, and look under "login/correct 
format".

For shoutcast, you use "icy_login"

For Icecast, you use "X_AUDIOCAST_LOGIN"

Are there any users/broadcasters in Boston MA who
could help me get a demo running? I'm trying to set up
a remote by 4/30.

Thanks in advance

Yes I'm in Cambridge, MA

Exactly which program(s) do you need to get running and on what OS?

I could help with icecast 1.3.10, Ices and liveice on Linux.

you read:
Well the simplest method is using your SHOUTcast servers built in Web
server, this feature has a listen link already built in with all the correct
information.  So all you have to do is link to it from an outside source.
How do you do that, quite simple, just use this HTML code:
<a href="http://myserverip:port/listen.pls">Click Here to
Listen</a>

*What you missed was "Well the simplest method is using your SHOUTcast
servers..."
This is Icecast, not SHOUTcast.

Try using an actual .pls file like the page describes.
