similar to: how many streams can icecast handle ?

The simple answer is: way more than your Internet connection will support :-) The server consumes very little in the way of resources. Your outgoing bandwidth will almost certainly be the limiting factor. Just divide your available bandwidth by the bitrate of your stream (& lop off about 5% of that number for overhead & a safety margin) . Example: a T1 line = 1.54 mbps = 1540 kbps /

Hi everyone I have one final question regarding my diploma work. As it seems, the hardware performance seems not to be the bottleneck when streaming out ONE stream to x clients. What happens when I use instead of ONE stream different streams, because my concept is an on-demand radio station that basically provides everyone with access to a huge library of music files and lets him create

I've searched the archives on xiph and elsewhere in hopes of finding an answer on whether song titles will work. There seems to be no definitive answer. use_meta_data 1 DOES work for WinAmp 2.75 but nothing else I've tried (which includes the latest WinAmp and Sonique). Also, I can get some header by telnetting into my port (see below) but still the "meta_data" issue remains a

Hi Jack thanks a lot for the inside information about the mountpoints. So what you're saying is that I need for my project when doing with icecast 1.x - per 25-50 concurrent users one single server So problem is, if I wanted to handle, say 1000 streams, I would need 200 Servers..this puts the concept a bit in jeopardy because that would push the cost of the service into astronomical..in

Hello Michael damn, I was afraid of that, but thanks for lightening me up (although I am in complete darkness now, after having seen the light just some days ago..) I'm looking into http streaming of the static files just now, but I came to find that there is one huge drawback: 1. when sending the stream out with icecast/shoutcast it would be possible to "push" the next song

Hi, I'd really like to enable ID3 tags and streaming titles. > From reading icecast.conf I realise this is experimental. I'm assuming experimental means works most of the time :-) I've set this flag, however receive no ID3 tags or streaming titles. use_meta_data 1 I need some guidance on this one, im using icecast 1.3.12 and ices 0.2.3. Thanks, -- Best regards, Darren

Hi Icecast users! I have a Debian box running with Icecast 1.3.11, installed from package icecast-server 1:1.3.11-4.3 from the unstable tree. It's purpose is to relay a bunch of stations using the alias functionality. It all works like a charm except the title information. When relaying stations like Groove Salad from soma.fm WinAMP doesn't show the title info. In my icecast.conf

also, keep in mind that support for streaming song titles is also a function of the source client you use.... I've been very successful with use_meta_data=1 and using either my DSP source (oddcast) or the Shoutcast DSP source.... and you can always know for sure if song titles are supported on your server by looking at the HTTP response headers from a request of the stream, (your request

OK, I'm a clueless newbie...I'm using icecast on a colocated server as a mirror to my shoutcast server. Everything works ok, but the only info shown in winamp is the stream title (station ID) when connecting to the mirror. The shoutcast server displays song info as it should, but the mirror is not parsing it. How do I set things up to display currently playing song and artist and

hi !!! I am not obtaining configures to show to the name of music in the customers type winamp, xmms.. etc! I am using icecast and ices. Somebody has some tip?

i am using icecast v1.3.11 my friend streams music to my server with the shout plugin for winamp. there are a couple of problems. 1. icecast doesn't seem to recognize when a client disconnects. i enabled the shoutcast and icecast directory servers, and they were both saying that i had around 400 listeners last night, when in fact i only had 8. the only lines in the icecast configuration

Dear Bredan -- I'm seeing them in the debug logs, but they're not making their way into the stream. OTOH, they are making their way to the directories (ie, shoutcast): http://yp.shoutcast.com/directory/?s=lamrim&st=gs&l=25 Any thoughts? Thanks for the great work!

Hi r-users, I would like to draw line plots. However, the plot starts from 11121 data and plot data ENTRY last in the plot. Here is the code and data. datn <- read.table(header=TRUE, text=' LEVEL STATUS CGPA DIPLOMA ENTRY 3.32 DIPLOMA 11121 2.91 DIPLOMA 11122 2.90 DIPLOMA 12131 2.89 DIPLOMA 12132 2.89 DIPLOMA 13141 2.93 DIPLOMA 13142 2.96 DIPLOMA 14151 2.76 DIPLOMA 14152 2.73 STPM

Hi, Thanks for the reproducible example. Looking at str(datn) would give you a clue. STATUS is a factor because it contains character values. Factor levels by default are alphabetical with numbers first, but you can change those. > str(datn) 'data.frame': 36 obs. of 3 variables: $ LEVEL : Factor w/ 4 levels "DIPLOMA","MATRIC",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 ... $

OK we won't do that, so can we use IceCast to stream a pre-built playlist file containing individual .ogg files all encoded at the required bitrate? I'm hoping so, so we don't have
