Hi all,
I'm looking to migrate from Shoutcast to Icecast. Our current
configuration is such that we have a low bitrate encoding on port 8000,
and a high bitrate encoding on 889. I've been looking through the
documentation but haven't found a good way to make this happen in
Icecast. We're using Darkice to stream to the server, and that does the
different enodings fine, but from the Icecast side I can't figure out
how to set the same mount point ( / ), have different data on different
ports.
Is this possible? Or do I have to run separate Icecast instances?
Thanks!

Then you can configure port-specific aliases for these, so you have "/ on port 8000" --> "/lowbitrate" and "/ on port 889" --> "/highbitrate".>From the point of view of the source clients, they can use eitherport, it'll make no difference at all (they won't be using the aliases), but for the listening clients, they'll get the appropriate port-specific alias. I'm not sure if this (port-specific aliases) is properly documented, though. If it's not, here's a quick summary. Configure an alias as normal, but add an attribute: port="8000" (or 889, as appropriate). Connections to the alias mountpoint will only be accepted if the incoming request was on the appropriate port. Otherwise the alias will be ignored (and it'll fall through and check the next alias).
