Please bear with me as I am an absolute newbie at this stuff :- o/s FreeBSD 4.6 stable (i386) pentium III 500 386mb ram scsi disks. Ices 0.2.3 compiled from source Icecast 1.3.12 I am trying to stream mp3 to my own lan. Ices and Icecast both seem to start quite happily, I can access the admin interface and when a client connects I can see that a client has connected. However, when I connect to http://host/8000 no sound, nothing and the page is blank. As soon as I shutdown Ices and Icecast, the page changes to an active x quicktime type picture and the mp3 starts playing. --- >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.

Hi: ah. Your mp3 player is downloading the stream instead of playing it right away. You need to create an M3U file with your stream URL in it and link to that on your website. Your player will download this and open the contained URL and play it. So as an example tream.m3u contains: http://server:8000/stream Now you'd link to this as follows: <A HREF="stream.m3u">Listen</A> The person clicks on this, the M3U file is downloaded and the player opens it and launches a connection to http://server:8000/stream . This is streaming basics, but it comes up so often that it's obviously missing from the icecast docs.
