Icecast - Aug 2020 - Intro file will not pre-pend stream

HI!

So I’ve been at this for a few days with no luck. I am trying to pre-pend my
stream with an intro file (mp3).

I’ve saved the mp3 file (for the intro) the same as the stream > in my test
right now it is set up stereo, 112kbps, 44100hz.
I can play the file independently in a browser from the webfoot location.
I can play the stream with no problems.
I have modified my icecast.xml to include this

    <mount>
        <stream-name>/test.mp3</stream-name>
        <intro>/test-44100-stereo-112.mp3</intro>
   </mount>

I haven’t changed the default webroot path. My file is in there with permissions
744.

My stream is sent to icecast with Butt. Here is a screenshot.

I have checked my xml config for properly formatted xml.

I used stop/start/reload commands as well as sighup on icecast service.

I am running centos 7.

Any ideas on what I can try next? Don’t want to give up but….


Thanks in advance,
Trisha

You probably need the full path to the file here, not relative to the
webroot.

Thank you for the reply Paul. I was able to try that and no luck there either.
Here is what is listed in the docs

-------
intro
An optional value which will specify the file those contents will be sent to new
listeners when they connect but before the normal stream is sent. Make sure the
format of the file specified matches the streaming format. The specified file is
appended to webroot before being opened.
-------

I have also read somewhere it should be relative to webroot, which is at the
default location (2.4). At first it wouldn’t play at all (the file by itself)
but I had an SELinux issue (thank you IRC). Now the file will play here

https://mp3stream2.wfsu.org:8443/promo-128-48-stereo.mp3

, but not pre-pend.


Here is the test stream url that matches the 128kbps 48khz 2 channel stereo
https://mp3stream2.wfsu.org:8443/test.mp3

Anyone do this successfully and would be able to share config with me? Or any
other ideas? What’s the best way to confirm my file formats match? I am going by
1. What Butt says for encoding the stream. 2. How I am exporting the intro file
in Adobe Audition.

Thanks.
