What you could do, if you were so inclined, is to write a shell script that would cycle through your directories and create symbolic links in your main directory. Not pretty at all, but would solve your issue. Alternatively, a script could be written to cycle through your directories to create a custom web page to display ALL songs. A little prettier and again would solve your issue. My script

My MP3 collection is housed in /music/. There are

I'm running RedHat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.17) on a PII 300. I'm using Liveice with XMMS. I had no problem broadcasting with Shoutcast and Winamp back before I switched over to Linux. I'd love to get going on broadcasting... but Icecast refusing to open is a problem. Running icecast gives me the following. Starting thread engine...

hey folks, i'm setting up an archive of mp3s and need to get an on-demand streaming solution up. i've got icecast running well and the streaming is great. the thing is that i need to let folks click a link and start listening from the beginning of an audio file. seems like i could script something to start up a new stream for each user and serve them up a unique url, but that seems a

I'm using shout 0.8.0, icecast 1.3.10 on Redhat 7.2. My stream skips all over the place. I can't even get through one song without having to restart the stream or having icecast boot me. Most of my MP3s are 128kbps, and that's the default bitrate in shout. I've turned on autocorrect and force bitrate, but it still skips. Autocorrect seems to make the time between skipping a bit

I replaced my normal playlist with a much smaller one of files

(By the way, upgrading to .11 seemed to take care of the skipping. Thanks!) The stream seems to be working just fine, although Winamp is showing bandwidth at 130 or higher, occasionally up to 145 or so. Most of my MP3s are 128 kbps, and ices should be re-encoding everything as 128 anyway. This is really a minor issue... but I'm wondering what could be taking up the extra bandwidth? Or

Apache is far more robust than any streaming server I've seen yet, and far more stable. Many of the scaling issues have been addressed, and the drawbacks are minimal. Streaming servers should be better for two reaosns. 1) they can be more

hello folks, i had a problem with streaming on icecast. Version 1.3.10 / shout 0.8.0 the server startet successful , and shout is eatblish an stream on localhost port 8001. if an client read the stream via winamp on a windows machine in the lan , then is there in the first 10 sec anything ok, but after this time is the permanently drops for one sec the mp3 files are in diferent bitrates , most of

To All In icecast-1.3.12 the conf file has Static file directory. I'm upgrading to icecast-2.2.0, can you set the static file directory in icecast 2.2.0 xml file? If so how is it done? # less /opt/icecast-1.3.12/etc/icecast.conf ###################### Static file directory ################################## # This enables the http-server file streaming support in icecast. # If you

You can still do this from icecast as icecast can be a rudimentary http streamer. If you enter the following: http://your.url.com:8000/list.cgi this will popup a page that will detail some status info about your icecast server. About half way down, there should be a link pointing you to a listing of the current mp3 files that are available via http (need to define this list). Click on this link

Expanding on Jack's note. In a default lame install, the lame library in in /usr/local/lib which is not in the 'trusted' library directories, hence why the linker/loader can't find it. What you need to do to fix it (as root), is open up /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/local/lib to the file. This file just contains various paths that will be searched in addition to /usr/lib & /lib

I'm totally new to this, so forgive me. I've installed Icecast, Liveice, Lame and MPG123 in usr/local directory, each with its own directory. In icecast.conf I've set the server name to a name that resolves to home network IP address. streamurl is set to http://servername:8000. staticdir is set to /usr/local/icecast/static. In liveice.cfg, the servername is the same as in

I'm running Icecast 1.3.11, Lame 3.89, and the latest version of liveice.
