We run a radio on demand service (http://rodcast.hiof.no) and serve files using a combination of M3U files generated on the fly and MP3 files available through Apache. -- Audun Vaaler Computer Engineer, Østfold College, Norway http://www.hiof.no/~audunv/ <p><p>--- >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.

hey folks, i'm setting up an archive of mp3s and need to get an on-demand streaming solution up. i've got icecast running well and the streaming is great. the thing is that i need to let folks click a link and start listening from the beginning of an audio file. seems like i could script something to start up a new stream for each user and serve them up a unique url, but that seems a bit clunky. i'm curious if someone else has already invented that wheel, if i've missed a feature somewhere, or if i should be using something other than icecast. i've checked the FAQ, mailing list and various help files (icecast, shout) but to no avail. any help would be appreciated. thanks, -satchel <p><p>--- >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.

My MP3 collection is housed in /music/. There are subdirectories #, A, B, C, etc... none of these show up on the page. The setting in icecast.conf is: staticdir /music If I specify the filename manually for on-demand streaming, it works fine... I just can't get them listed on the webpage. --- Julia Lunetta Listen to my music collection... http://julial.dhs.org:8005/ <p>--- >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.

You can still do this from icecast as icecast can be a rudimentary http streamer. If you enter the following: http://your.url.com:8000/list.cgi this will popup a page that will detail some status info about your icecast server. About half way down, there should be a link pointing you to a listing of the current mp3 files that are available via http (need to define this list). Click on this link and you should be presented with a listing of all mp3 that are available then from there, you merely pick the mp3 that you want and voila. To define this list you put the full path to your mp3 directory in your icecast.conf file. It has been awhile since I set this up, and I forget the exact option, although static template comes to mind. The icecast manual does point this out. Send me an email reminding me and I will dig up the exact entry in the icecast.conf for you. Hope this helps.
