Hi, i've just added a new mount point to my icecast config file. I want to activate this mount point and i need to reload the icecast proccess to do so (?) but i don't want to loose the active source streams. How can i do this? Does icecast reload it's config file once in a while? Does it auto reconnect active streams? regards, jappe --- >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: One of the signals will do this - try HUP. Note that you don't have to put a mountpoint in the config to make it work, only if you need to use some of the special options available in the mountpoint config stuff.

[icecast] Configuring icecast for lowest buffering/latency
Hi, I'm using Icecast on a windows pc as a "gobetween" to output from a streaming encoder, bounce it of an icecast server locally on the workstation and then being picked up from the local icecast server and relayed on again. (I'm using liveCaster from www.live.com as it allows me to send the audio stream as UDP which is more efficient than HTTP streaming - unfortunately it does not accept audio directly from the windows app [Simplecast], but reads an http stream, which is why I need icecast in the middle as the glue to hold it together!) How can I configure the Icecast server to use as minimum buffering as possible so I can reduce the latency that the http streaming on the local box introduces? Is it as simple as setting <queue-size> to something very small like 1024 or would I need a customer recompile of icecast server to set all the buffers to minimum settings?
