Hi There, Is there a way to group icecast servers, so they are found as one announcement on the YP directory lists and al servers will give all servers in there m3u. regards, Dennis Heerema

The first is referred to as "server grouping". Streams that have the same Server Name and are listed from the same IP are "grouped" together into one logical directory listing. An example of this can be seen here : http://dir.xiph.org/index.php?sgenre=&stype=&search=Wicked In this grouping, there are many streams listed, but all are grouped into a single logical listing. Note that each stream can have a separate Server description (Server description is separate from Server name). The second type of grouping is what's called "clustering". Clusters are grouped together in a single actual listing and are meant mostly for listing streams and their relays together in a single physical listing.>From your question, it seems that this is the type you are interested in.An example of this can be seen here : http://dir.xiph.org/index.php?sgenre=&stype=&search=Ropin In this case, there is only a single listing, but when a listener clicks on the listen link, they are served an m3u containing all clustered servers. In order to "cluster" servers together, you MUST use the cluster password feature of Icecast 2.2. This is a mount specific setting and the docs should help you out in figuring out where it goes. All streams with the same cluster password and server name will be clustered together into a single listing. Note that clusters can span across multiple listing IPs (as most relays do). hopefully that clears it up a bit... oddsock
Hi oddsock and others, Everything is clear about that, but where and how do i specify the servername, cannot find it in the docs and a threath about it on the archive (found via google) is not there anymore.
