Icecast - Jun 2005 - relay icecast to shoutcast

thanks - unfortunately the client software (Pd with "shoutcast~")
won't
let me set "/" as a mountpoint (or "" for that matter).
i've tried
aliasing with <alias source="/" dest="/radio"/> and
<alias source="/radio"
dest="/"/> but no joy.

PS. typo in my last email - xmms error is: "401" and not 402

The correct syntax is:

<alias source="/" dest="/radio"/>

Note that I think in the supplied config file, "/" is aliased to one
of the
stats pages, so you'd need to delete/comment out this definition.

What happens when you try to connect to "/" manually?

thanks geoff - Yes, I had disabled the <alias source="/"
dest="/status.xsl"/> in the config.

To answer your question: If the mountpoint is set to "radio.mp3" and
the
host tag is set for a local broadcast. ie.:
<hostname>localhost</hostname> (for testing purposes), this is what
happens when I enter "http://localhost:7000/" into a browser: The
audio
is streamed to disk under what looks like a random filename (eg
wjgol87m).

If the mountpoint is set to "radio", an error page is loaded into the
browser: "The source you requested could not be found."

In this state, entering http://localhost:7000/radio.m3u lets me listen
to the audio in xmms. But i notice the mountpoint must be named
radio.mp3 for "*.pls" file to be used.

cheers, iain
