Icecast - Oct 2004 - Can't connect winamp source to icecast server

Gidday,

I have a winamp 2.95 source that cannot upload the stream to my icecast 
server.

Since icecast is compatible with shoutcast surely a winamp source should 
be able to connect?

any help appreciated,
Greg

I'm assuming you're trying the Nullsoft Shoutcast DSP plugin.

I'm afraid not, but this is because Icecast uses mountpoints, which lets 
you specify multiple streams per server, e.g:
	my-server.com:8000/radiohiband.ogg
	my-server.com:8000/radioloband.ogg
	my-server.com:8000/demo_mp3
etc.

This is in contrast to SHOUTCast which provides only a single stream per 
server instance. (so for the above example, you'd need to run 3 copies 
of SHOUTCast on 6 different ports, except of course you can't stream in 
vorbis!)

Try the Oddcast plugin instead -

That's the one.

The problem is that I have someone who insists on using the win32/winamp 
combination as the source, and I'd rather use icecast as the server 
instead of the nullsoft shoutcast implementation.

You say above that I'd need to run 3 copies of shoutcast on 6 ports to 
handle 3 streams, so is it possible to use SHOUTCast send a single 
stream to an icecast server?

Thanks, I'll give that a go for my own tinkering.
