Hello, If anyone is running an Icecast server that serves at least 3 separate streams each with it's own bitrate can I get a look at your config? Thanks. Dave.
Hiya David, see my previous answer - I am sure it addresses these questions. Just to reiterate, icecast will serve whatever the source tells it to. If you have 3 separate ices0 processes running, icecast will serve 3 streams. There is a setting in icecast that can limit the maximum number of sources.

I just realised my previous email didn't go to the list for some reason.
Here it is again:
Currently, I have three liquadsoap ".liq" files, and they all look
very
similar to this:
-------- 8< --------
jake at beastie:/etc/liquidsoap$ cat jake.liq
#!/usr/bin/liquidsoap
#set("log.file.path","/tmp/basic-radio.log")
def my_request_function() # Get the first line of my external process
result list.hd(
get_process_lines("/usr/bin/getrandomsong.sh
/etc/liquidsoap/jakeradio.sh"))
# Create and return a request using this result
request.create(result)
end
# Create the source
s = mksafe(request.dynamic(my_request_function))
sc = smart_crossfade(conservative=true, s)
output.icecast(%mp3.vbr(quality=1),
host = "localhost", port = 8000,
password = "ICECASTPASSWORD", mount = "jake-radio.mp3",
description="jakeradio - all my songs on random",
name="jakeradio",
sc)
jake at beastie:/etc/liquidsoap$
-------- 8< --------
The important differences between the configs are the "mount",
"description", and "name" in the last command.
As you can see, the mp3's are re-encoded to a variable bit rate, quality
set to 1, which I am sure is overkill lol
There is no special config in icecast, icecast will stream whatever the
streaming source tells it to - in my case, the streaming source is
liquadsoap.
You may want to look at the setting in icecast.xml
icecast/limits/clients and/or icecast/limits/sources - mine is set to
100, I *think* sources defaults to something quite low, like 2, which
bit me when I tried to stream 3 things....
Also, you'll want to look at icecast/authentication/source-password and
set that to something - Above, in my liq file, you'll see 'password =
"ICECASTPASSWORD"' - they need to match.
I hope I've given you enough to get you on the right track :D

Hi, Thanks, that helps a lot. I'm trying to get ices2 now to do the multiple clients and sources, I'll post what I get later today. Thanks. Dave.
