Icecast - Nov 2015 - Can i relay a udp://@<multicast-address>:<port> stream using Icecast2?

Hello to all,

I am a newbie to Icecat2. I already know how to use darkice as a source 
but I can't find any information on how to relay a udp multicast stream 
like "udp://239.192.0.145:5000 for" example. Can icecast2 stream this 
directly or do I need to use some source client?

Good morning,

Icecast2 is designed for HTTP (thus TCP thus unicast) streams. So is the
relay system within Icecast2.
If you want to to relay multicast UDP traffic to Icecast2 you need to
use a source client for that. gstreamer and vlc (nox) comes into mind,
however other source clients may also support this.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for the reply Philipp. I will probably use vlc as a source.
