Hi - I've heard that Icecast provides a fake "playlist file" along the lines of http://blahblah:8000/listen.m3u or http://blahblah:8000/playlist.pls because Quicktime can't seem to handle the stream without a playlist file to wrap it up. (There may be other reasons.) However, I can't seem to find any documentation about this, and guessing various URLs on my icecast2.0.1

...just wanted to point out that it's "stats", not "STATs". "Stats" is not an acronym! It's an abbreviation; it's short for "statistics".

Greetings, I have some confusion. I've seen it mentioned, somewhere in some docs, that Icecast2 does not (as yet) support Push relaying. Is this actually the case? Should I be looking at icecast1 (which does support push relay, I believe) until such capability is implemented on icecast2? Or should I be creating a combination of both? Or what? Here's my situation: I have a customer

Hi - I'm a "streaming" newbie. I've recently configured Icecast (v2.2) with Ices (v0.4) to stream a playlist of MP3 files. When a user with iTunes as their default media player connects to this stream (http://www.barsuk.com:8000/barsukradio.m3u), it works just fine. However, if a user has Windows Media player as their default media player, WM seems to get stuck

Hi - I'm rebuilding my OSX system and I can't get ices0 to build - or to be more exact, can't get libshout2 to build. I started by using DarwinPorts, and icecast2 & libogg & libvorbis seemed to build OK. The install of ices0 then gave up at the libshout2 config stage with output like this: [...] checking for libvorbis... ok checking for struct ovectl_ratemanage_arg... no

After updating my kernel (!), the CPU load figures given by 'top' and 'ps' for streamTranscoder suddenly rose from 0.0-0.3% to about 30-60%. There are occasional peaks above that, which might very well be causing the problem. And the system load now shows

hello Another beginners question..... I've been googling through the icecast archives looking for information on how icecast handles multiple clients. Haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Could someone please explain (or direct me to links) what happens to the upload bandwidth of a box running icecast, when more than one client connects? For example, if a box on a 128kbps

Hi, I asked a few questions about the flac format a couple of weeks ago. One more (if you don't mind) about the Rice coding. The Rice parameter "k" can't be zero (unless I'm mistaken), yet the FLAC spec says the Rice parameter can range from 0 to 15. I guessed, and tried adding one before using the parameter (i.e. assuming the range was really 1 to 16), and that didn't

Hi, I'm setting up icecast2 on a Mac OSX. I can't get it to run because icecast complains about being unable to start logging - however, I'm pretty sure the logfiles are accessible. The relevant part of the config file is: <paths> <basedir> /Users/dan/icecasting </basedir> <logdir> /Users/dan/icecasting/logs </logdir> <webroot>

Adam, If it says "failed to read config file" then it's failed to load the XML file at all, so commenting out one line or the other isn't going to make any difference. Make sure you're specifying the right path to the XML file, and that the file and the directory are readable (by the user that ices runs under)... Dan On Fri, 10 Dec 2004 06:35:20 +0100 (CET), adam

Dihelson, Read my tutorial here: http://www.mcld.co.uk/flatfour/player/about/ I hope it helps! It does exactly what you ask, using Quicktime embedded in a webpage. Our stream is MP3 rather than Ogg but the process should be the same. The only problem is that many people don't have the Ogg codec installed in Quicktime... you'd need to tell them how to install the qt ogg plugin from
