Hi, While digging through the icecast2 xml configuration I noticed the option <fileserve>1</fileserve>. From what I could tell this is a totally undocumented feature and was wondering what exactly it was used for. <p> -- Colin Faber (303) 736-5160 fpsn.net, Inc. * Black holes are where God divided by zero. * --- >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.

A file /path/to/<basedir>/<webroot>/test.ogg can be streamed on demand, it would be accessible via http://host:port/test.ogg then. This is basic web server functionality, so you don't need a separate Apache to stream on demand/offer downloads. <p>Moritz --- >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.

I'm deep into the final couple of months of my undergrad degree, and buried under everything, so I haven't had time to write documentation. I've been hoping for contributions (hint!). Anyway, <fileserve> enables basic web-server functionality. There's no real need for this rather than a normal web server, but many people asked for this feature, and so I added it. It serves files from the <webroot> directory, unless an existing stream takes precendence. It's also designed for speed, so it should be friendly to cpu usage even for many connected clients.
