I'm running a private stream which only has a handful of clients. I have found it convenient to create a separate mount point on my encoder (Simplecast) for each client. This allows me to track the current client list using the tools built into Simplecast. It also allows me to do custom streams when required on a per-destination basis. All mount points are normally running the same

I'm using Simplecast to feed 8 mount points of a 24/7 live stream to Icecast on a win platform. When I have the Statistics Relays graphing activated, I get an entry each minute in Access.log for each of the mount points. That particular entry is pretty much useless but of course, being able to see the IP address of client drops can be useful. This log grows to mammoth proportions unless I

I'm running Icecast 2.3.1 on a Windows 2000 platform with Simplecast feeding a live stream with multiple mount points. At scheduled points in the day, I have a scheduler that launches EZstream that overrides one of the mountpoints for a local 1 hour insert. Since we went back to standard time last weekend, the log entries in error.log have shown that the EZstream overrides have occurred

I had something happen the other night that I just can't explain. It may not be an Icecast issue at all, but I thought it was interesting enough to post. I have a private stream with 6 mountpoints, all receiving the same 32 kbps mp3 stream from Simplecast. Both Simplecast & Icecast are running on the same Win2k system. The configuration allows me to track the comings and goings of

Hi everyone. I was wondering if it is possible to schedule a fallback. I know there is the option when no source is streaming then icecast server falls back to another mount point. So my question is if it is possible to schedule some sort of fallback to another mount point whenever i want to. Let me give you an example: source 1 is streaming to server from 16:00 until 16:59 at mount point 1.

Hello everyone! I've been looking into using icecast to help get some terrestrial radio stations into Internet broadcasting. One of their requirements is that they have the ability to overlay internet-only content over the regional commercials that they run during their programming - ie, during breaks between their normal programming, they don't want ads from their advertisers

I'm having a hard time not getting mp3 data to ezstream via stdin fast enough. The vb.net application I'm writing, ezstream and icecast are all running on the same machine (Widows XP). Some where in the process, a buffer empties out and that results in a drop out when you are listening. Usually the dropout happens at a song change. At first I was chunking up the data according to bit

Don't know if this is the proper place for this question ... I'm setting up an audio stream from a public radio station's studios to a remote transmitter. We're using icecast for the server, and it's performed remarkably well (it's been up for over two years now). I need a client for the remote location. Requirements are it must run on linux, come up at boot, operate

I am providing a machine to a client that will be connecting to an existing Icecast stream that is working just fine. But the client will be connecting from behind a firewall. They need to inform their IT department what ports need to be open for proper operation. Running ethereal, I see the client machine using ports that vary with each connection in the range of 32782 upwards to 32827 over

Hi Tom, You might be right, but I don't get why my existing downloads (I guess they are on different routes) are not affected. If my ADLS provider is doing some IP adjustments (btw my IP is static) I expect everything to disconnect, not only my icecast connection. So I'll monitor my USRobotics logs today and tomorrow so see if there is something strange. Regards, On Wed, Jun 11, 2008 at

Maarten makes some poses some valid questions: > Did you check the Linux machines for system and/or update logs at the > given time? I'm afraid I don't know all the places to look for logs that might tell me something. My script that keeps MPG123 running keeps a log of all reboots and outages. A reconnect that lasts less than one minute is counted as continuous outage.

If an outage is detected, the system attempts a reconnect immediately. If a reconnect is established but is lost again without a full minute of audio, I don't log it as a reconnect. Once a reconnect is

Attached is my config file. The purpose is to interrupt my regular stream sith a station (stream) ID once per hour (time synchronized externally). I use ezstream to play the pre-recorded stream ID. I never hear the stream ID while listening to the stream. (There is a 10 second break in the stream once per hour) What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Mike -------------- next part

I've been running 2.2.0 for more than 3 years now on a Win2K system and have had so little trouble with it, I hadn't considered upgrading However it has mysteriously failed a few times. I would get a report that it was down, log in remotely only to find that Icecast was not running. I would restart it, report to the station manager that he or someone must have shut it down, and forget
