Apologies for asking so many questions - hope this isn't in the FAQ somewhere!? I would like to use the <savefile> option in ices but am wondering how to specify a unique filename to be created each time ices is executed so the previous savefile is not overwritten? eg, is there a way to specify: <savefile>mystream-%time-%date.ogg</savefile> that would for example create a file: mystream-10:00:00-01-08-2003.ogg Thanks! <p><p><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.

Thanks Karl, I will give it a try. Do I have to install your modified libshout or isn't it required if I am live streaming?

If you want to try out something like this then look at my mods I did a while ago in www.xiph.org/~karl, you'll need a slightly modified xml file (look in conf/) and the libshout on there as well. The expansion in there allows for strftime codes, so streams-%B/%X.ogg should work just fine. 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.
