[icecast] strange way of forwarding to another stream.
Just a kinda question on a random thought I was having. Would it make sense, or be concievably plausible to write a plugin for winamp, or other Icecast2 client to read a comment in the Ogg Vorbis file to automatically open a new stream when the stream/file has finished playing- eg, client starts/downloads the ad stream/file for the server broadcasting the stream, vorbis file contains tag along the lines of "FORWARD = protocol://server:port/stream.ogg", as a of adding advertising to the start of a stream only. <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.

I've downloaded and successfully installed onto slackware 8.1 the following cvs packages: icecast2, ices, libshout, ogg, vorbis I copied the conf file called icecast.xml to /usr/local/bin I launch icecast with ./icecast -c ./icecast.xml but then the server gets a sigdie, signal 2 and terminates. I don't know what is the problem Any suggestions? <p>greetings marco --- >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.

The forward directive isn't universal AFAIK karl. <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.

Hi: Apart from the fact that this functionality will be added to icecast2 shortly (pretty sure I read that anyway), you could achieve this by putting the following in your m3u file: http://server/ad.ogg http://server:port/mountpoint Geoff. <p> -- Geoff Shang <gshang@uq.net.au> ICQ number 43634701 Make sure your E-mail can be read by everyone! http://www.betips.net/etc/evilmail.html Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.

This goes back a couple of months in the list.. But below refers to the idea of forwarding streams. *Is* there currently any way (with mp3 or ogg) to force the client to a new stream?? Is the "forward directive" referred to below in use by anything, if so what? And how is it implemented? This seems like a very useful thing to be included in a spec. And it doesn't seem unreasonable to include it in a client, except that there is no official spec that stream client developers use to develop against (or is there??). Afterall, Things like HTML Redirect's are handled by the client.
