Icecast - Aug 2004 - mountpoint

can anybody explain to me the mountpoint that is mentioned by icecast
version 1.3.12?

I see that the mountpoint is /default

what does this mean and how can I change it in the icecast.conf file.

I am running this on a freebsd 4.7 STABLE release.

Icecast is a server.

Icecast installs at /usr/local/etc/icecast/ this install dir is the default
directory.
under FreeBSD4.7 is located at /usr/local/etc/icecast.

Icecast will stream-serve from its default 'staticdir'(ectory) location
you specified in
/usr/local/etc/icecast/icecast.conf. just dump the mp3's in the
'staticdir' location .... working?  let me know!

Do you have 'Shout' installed? Shout is a streamer. it streams data
(mp3's for example) to the server Icecast.

in shout's ini file at /usr/local/etc/icecast/shout.conf there is an
entrt 'mount'. mount points to a dir name that *you* create under
icecast roots install dir.

 #mkdir /usr/local/etc/icecast/myMount#1/

 #vi shout.conf and change 'mount default' to  'mount myMount#1'
and
 copy your mp3's to myMount#1

 1/ start icecast at tty2. load OK?

 2/ altF2 and login on tty3

 3/ at tty3 do this  shoutcast -? ... look for the -d option

 4/ #shout -d /path/to/shoutcast.conf

 5/ it's streaming ... look at tty3 and see titles and "dot"
markers
 for stream

 6/ winAmp http://x.y.z.w:8000/myMount#1  .... working ok ????

 7/ AltF2 and login to tty4
    create /usr/local/etc/icecast/myMount#2.
    Put other mp3's in myMount#2
    copy shoutcast.conf to shoutcast2.conf
    edit shoutcast2.conf and change line
    'mount myMount2#1' to
    'mount myMount#2'

8/ at tty4
   #shout -d /path/to/shoutcast2.conf

   streaming ok ?

9/ at winamp http:/x.y.z.w:8000/myMount#2

<p>10/ Let me know how it goes .... email rather than list please :-)

Mountpoints are a way of serving multiple streams with the one server -
something that shoutcast can't do.  So you could have one stream on
myserver.com:8000/mystream and another on myserver.com:8000/yourstream or
whatever.

The mount point is specified by whatever program you are using to stream to
icecast (e.g. ices, shout, oddcast, etc).  You specify the mountpoint in
the streamer's configuration and the mountpoint will be created by icecast
when the streamer connects to it.
