[icecast] Darkice and splitting left and right into separate streams?
Hello all.
Anyone have any idea what it would take to separate left and right into
separate mountpoints on an icecast server? We are using Darkice on
FreeBSD. Works GREAT (still stuck running old version because the new one
bombed on compilation, but NO COMPLAINTS!)
I'm assuming this would fall in Darkice's hands because from what I
gather it reads the pcm audio device and just passes the data to liblame.
So if it read the PCM data in stereo and then split left and right and
called two instances of liblame... ????
Is it a possibility? It would make my life SO much easier. We are trying
to put 12 sound cards each into two systems to support 24 audio streams...
it would cut the number down to 6, or maybe even one box if there is
enough CPU power. We aren't streaming in stereo, all the sources are mono.

I'm short of time to write the changes, though :( <p>Akos --- >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.

FreeBSD 4.9 Icecast 13.1 Lame 3.90, 3.93 First time, I made lame via ports and made Icecast by hand. Core dump Second time, I removed the port version of lame made by hand, remade icecast. Core dump (A previous message mentioned removing the port and making Lame by hand). Any clues? The problem has been mentioned a few times on the list with no real resolve. I have lots of other boxes running old FreeBSD, older Lame and older Icecast. For giggles, I grabbed an old binary from a working FreeBSD box and threw it on the non-working one, same error. My guess is it is with Lame or with the sound card stuff for freebsd? My sound card is the same model that I use in 3 other hosts (14 other streams!) I tried moving to Lame 3.91, nothing different. Help! <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: Firstly, there is no icecast 13.1. I'm guessing you mean icecast 1.3.1x. Icecast 1.x is no longer officially supported. Having said all that, icecast is just a server - it does not use Lame and it does not read from the soundcard. To help you any further, it would be best if you could load the core file into gdb or whatever the freebsd equivalent is and let us know where it crashed.

Hello, Quick question. I'm using the old version (but looking to move to the new version) of icecast. When my darkice sessions die and reconnect to the server the files that I have setup to be recorded get reset. I'm not 100% hip on the MP3 data format. Is there a header then data? Or is it just data and the player syncs up with the stream? Would it be possible to change the code so that if a file exists it appends, and doesn't rewrite from 0? Or would this break the structure of the file and cause player error? I'm recording 10 feeds in 24 hour segments, and sometimes the encoders puke out. My script on the encoders restarts them, but then the archive sets go to zero. Just curious, I would imagine it would be easy to change the fopen call or whatever in the code to append if exists but I don't want to break the file. I'm planning to run the 24 hour blocks of data thru another program that breaks it down into 1 hour chunks. 100 gigs of data a month! <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.

To all users:
The recently exploits announced at bugtraq can be fixed by the following
patch. This patch should fix a few other potential holes as well, and I
will post a followup patch soon that is even more thorough.
Note: this exploit would give the attacker priviledges of the user
running icecast. If you are running icecast as a normal user account or
as root, this would be a good time to run it as nobody or some other
unpriveledged account.
Anyone running icecast as root better upgrade fast and do a search for
rootkits or other odd behaviors on their systems.
Regards,
jack.
