Icecast - Aug 2004 - Stream optimization and file recording ...

Hello,

I'm useing freebsd 5.2.1 with icecast 2.0 and darkice 0.8
with a radiocard from avermedia 206 and a cmedia soundcard.
i't works fine!

just four points.

1. the ogg with vbr and a quality of 0.6
   has a high tone in it. is there a known
   reason for?
2. filerecording works fine but how can i
   make every hour a new file without breaking
   the stream for listener?

   i thought about a signal like usr1 or anything
   else
3. is there anything in my configuration that can be
   optimized :-)
4. is there a tool for recording a stream with freebsd
   i'd like to build an archive
   
thanks
Karl-Heinz

Hello,
    I've been reading up and it doesn't look like there's a way to
send a
chrooted icecast logs to syslog. Given this i was wondering if anyone had
got newsyslog to do log rotations on the icecast logs? Also, does anyone
have a FreeBSD specific startup script?
Thanks.
Dave.

Not sure about the log rotation, but for a startup script on freebsd you
could add the line in your /etc/rc.local file

/path/to/icecast/binary -c -b /path/to/config/file > /dev/null 2>&1
