Marvin, Ah, thank you for clarifying where "webroot" is. The application here will be a non-public stream with one listener client. Icecast is hosted on a computer at our radio station. It will receive a stream from a stream client at a remote live music event. There will be one listener: a media player running on another computer on the network at the station which will send the

Hi Marvin, thank you. Okay, then to be clear, "webroot" for the purposes of running Icecast under Windows would be the same folder where icecast.xml is normally found, i.e., C:\Program Files\icecast And, if I read you correctly, suppose my normal mount coming from my source client is called /example (it is an mp3 stream so I don't specify the extension). If I place a file

Hmm. Even with the file in the right place, Icecast still doesn't use it when my stream is offline. I can access the file using it's URL, so I know Icecast has access to it. This is what I have in my configuration file. <mount> <mount-name>/stream.mp3</mount-name> <fallback-mount>/StreamWarning.mp3</fallback-mount>

Hi Philipp, Thank you. I find in the Icecast docs the following: "_A fallback mount can also state a file that is located in webroot._ This is useful for playing a pre-recorded file in the case of a stream going down. It will repeat until either the listener disconnects or a stream comes back available and takes the listeners back. As per usual, the file format should match the stream

Oh dear. Okay, can anyone suggest how to install Icecast under Windows as a service, and to be able to bring up some kind of console to start/stop it? I can launch Icecast using the installed .bat file, but it's clunky. -- that Jack Elliott 541 848 7021 Producer Wednesday Point, Host, The Sunday Classics KPOV 88.9, High Desert Radio Audio geek On 05/14/2015 09:21 AM, Ross Levis wrote:

Oh -- then I did not understand the documentation. fallback-mount This optional value specifies a mountpoint that clients are automatically moved to if the source shuts down or is not streaming at the time a listener connects. Only one can be listed in each mount and should refer to another mountpoint on the same server that is streaming in the _same streaming format_. I was thinking that

I see. I'm not sure how I keep missing things in the Icecast docs. I'll give that location a try.

Thanks, Brad -- I first turned to VLC but my stream-client device is a Raspberry Pi 3, and there doesn't seem to be a build for the device. That said, I just stumbled across mpg123, a command-line mp3/stream player that has audio buffer and timeout setting which so far looks quite robust. For Icecast2 content, when Icecast kicks a client off for being "too far behind" -- what

Ha! Terms even a broadcaster can understand! Many many thanks. If BUTT is considered to be as good a transporter as Icecast, then I will stick with what I'm doing, if for no other reason than, "Master is the source server (where the source comes from) and Slave is the relay. THe connection is initiated by the slave to the master." Slave may not know where the Master is. Master

Hi Marvin, I followed the wiki instructions and they went w/o any issues until C:\Users\username> nssm start Icecast Can't open service! OpenService(): Access is denied! Probably a good idea to mention that the command window needs to be Run as administrator. Then it works.

Right, BUTT can be set to push to studio, and studio's IP is fixed. It doesn't appear that Icecast Master can push to a Slave at studio, Slave at studio has to pull from Master, and Master's IP address is not fixed. So for our remotes, BUTT is the better choice for that, and all the other reasons you mention. Plus, when you are recording eight bands in a 12-hour broadcast day,

Icecast allows using a fallback mount file which the listener will hear if the main mount stops. It is specified in icecast.xml as this example: <fallback-mount>/example2.ogg</fallback-mount> It is necessary that the file have the same bitrate and same format (single or two-channels) as the main mount. We were at a music festival last weekend and used butt (Broadcast Using This

Hi, I see that I can use the "Kill Source" button on the Icecast admin web page to kill our fallback.mp3 file. Now that I have killed the fallback file, I don't see a way to re-start it.

"Live streams are not live, they can be up to 15 to 20 sec off original encoding." Something you become aware of very quickly when you're announcing into a mic and have to wait to hear your words! We do a bit of pre-show calibration with folks at the station to determine how long the delay ("latency" in digital-speak) is at the start of the remote broadcast, and start

It's behaving as it is meant to: if a listen client gets too far behind, Icecast2 server is kicking them off. error.log says, "INFO source/source.c Client 120 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) has fallen too far behind, removing" I don't see a setting in icecast.xml that sets the value for "too far behind". I'm guessing it's related to <queue-size>. I wish Icecast

Encoding not being part of Icecast, I reckon this is indeed off-topic; but to close the thread, it does seem to be the case that mp3 encoding is now license free. "MP3 is supported by everything, everywhere, and is now patent-free. There has never been another audio format as widely supported as MP3, it's good enough for almost anything, and now, over twenty years since it took the
