I think (going by memory) that 'hackme' was the >default admin and 'prettyplease' was the default oper passwords.Thanks for the clarification on that. Any idea on my 2 other questions? 1- What MIME type and extentsion do we need to open a player through Apache, currently what happens is that it attempts to download the entire folder containing the mp3's instead of opening up the player (this happens at http://www.xxx.com:8000). 2- How can you create a playlist? Currently it just plays the mp3's and we'd like for promos to be heard before they pick up the broadcast. Server info: OS is Red Hat 7.0 Icecast 1.3.10 Ices 0.0.1.beta5 Thanks again!

I don't think that icecast does this internally like the shoutcast server can do, however it's easy to do in the same way as mentioned with the M3U file. Before the http://www.xxx.com:8000 line, put in a URL giving the location of the file or files you wish to play (e.g.: http://www.xxx.com/promospromo1.mp3 http://www.xxx.com/promos/promo2.mp3 http://www.xxx.com:8000 This will have the player play the 2 static files first, then connect to the server. Note that the promo file(s) MUST be in the exact same data format as the stream coming from the icecast server otherwise the player will choke on the new audio format. There may be other ways to do this.

In the command-line for ices, use the -F switch to specifiy the location relative to where the command is excuted. Alternatively, this can also be specified in the ices configuration file. Look for the element <ices:File></ices:File>. Rewrite it as <ices:File>playlist.txt</ices:File>. Hope this helps. --- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Look for the element > <ices:File></ices:File>. Rewrite it as <ices:File>playlist.txt</ices:File>.Another way is to place a static-file promo as the first file in the .m3u file too. So that your .m3u file will look something like this: http://www.xxx.com/promos/MyPromo.mp3 http://www.xxx.com:8000/MyStreamMountpoint There is some discussion in the list archive too I think. Search for .pls and .m3u (.pls are simular to .m3u's) good luck Harvey> > Hope this helps.--- >8 ---- List archives: http://www.xiph.org/archives/ icecast project homepage: http://www.icecast.org/ To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to 'icecast-request@xiph.org' containing only the word 'unsubscribe' in the body.
