Icecast - Oct 2021 - BINDING PORT NUMBER TO MOUNTPOINT

Hi,

 

Basically, is this possible, please?

 

I have a number of port numbers and mount points defined to cater for a live
stream and a test environment.

 

It appears that I can connect to Icecast and start streaming music to any of
the opened ports provided I supply the correct mountpoint and password
combination.  This means that, however unlikely, a presenter could connect
to our live server rather than our test one by accident!

 

Therefore, can a mountpoint be bound to a specific port number to avoid this
possibility, please?

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Regards

Richard Bartholomew

No, this is not possible. Usually for such a setup I would recommend to 
just
use two different instances of Icecast.
