You don't need extra scripts for that at all.i remember w/ icecast1.x i could connect to a mp3 w/ a (non-existing ) .pls file . but w/ icecast2 , i would have to use the .ogg direct link .. but this would then d0wnload first in the browser (opera, and MAYBE ie:can't_recall) instead of launching the media player . in which case i wanted .m3u files .. my first attempt was to use HTTP headers to send the link as a .m3u . mixed success w/ this method - it would open another browser window w/ the open/save as box in it . it was confusing .. . then i had the idea , generate the .m3u file on the webserver and offer a link to that file _ this way i have a listen page popup , w/ instructions/help and the HTTP META refresh for the .m3u file . this works well . please advise if icecast2 has a simpler workaround . ..

That's the source client's job. Winamp/XMMS with the current Oddcast DSP can stream MP3 to Icecast2, for example ... ices2 might not do that just yet, and I know nothing about other source clients. However, as I said, that's their "problem", not Icecast2's.> tho (seperate issue ) : OGG files w/ variable bit rates generated by wget > rip from the icecast2 stream . they stream well , but i can only listen > from the beginning , even w/ the .OGG on my local drive _loaded in winamp > - the length counter is way off , and i can't seek through the file .

It's in Preferences/Plug-ins/Input/Nullsoft Vorbis Decoder/Configure/Streaming. At the bottom of that page, you find a button named "Fix saved files..." - that should help. If you don't have that button, get the latest Winamp2 version, or if you don't want that: http://www.blorp.com/~peter/zips/in_vorbis.exe (Peter's site is gone, but that file still exists.)> i remember w/ icecast1.x i could connect to a mp3 w/ a (non-existing ) > .pls file . but w/ icecast2 , i would have to use the .ogg direct link .. > but this would then d0wnload first in the browser (opera, and MAYBE > ie:can't_recall) instead of launching the media player .With Icecast2, the URL of the playlist is <stream-url>.m3u - e.g. http://yourhost.com:8000/yourstream.ogg.m3u <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.
