OpenSolaris, Dark Ice and broken socket — any thoughts? :-)

2009-12-20T16:36:07Z

Hi!
Here we're trying to crank IceCast server 2.3.2 (OpenSolaris x86,
2009.06 release) that is receiving stuff from Dark Ice, running on
FreeBSD (still). Everything fubar, but at some moment streaming
evaporates and socket closed at IceCast side. But I would mention that
we've moved server to another ISP, so I still suspect this is not
OpenSolaris + IceCast problem. However, if somebody could hint me
where to dig, I would be appreciate that!

Logs: nothing special, hence asking. Simply socket closed, and that's it.

I can not figure out what helps: restarting IceCast or Dark Ice,
because it works somewhat random. :( Sometimes restarting IceCast
helps to restore streaming, but sometimes not. I am quite puzzled...

I've compiled IceCast latest version w/o problems on OpenSolaris. In
packages we have 1.x and 2.3.1 versions as well, but effect is exactly
same. This makes me wondering that it is nothing to deal with IceCast
on OpenSolaris and problem is elsewhere, but, again, if someone would
hint me some workarounds or something that could help solve this, I
would appreciate that.

Anyone, please? Thanks in advance.

He's writing in Romanian. A Google translate reveals this:

# greet are nelutu SIA wants an account for the net radio straamint
wait reply thank Icecast

Looks like he wants an account for streaming. Here's some sort of
reply via Google:

Nu există conturi disponibile aici pentru streaming. Trebuie să
construim un server. vă rugăm să folosiţi limba engleză, pe această
listă.

I have attempted to say this in Romanian (via machine translation):

There are no accounts available here for streaming. You must build a
server. Please use English on this list.

dump-file on relay?

2009-12-20T00:28:32Z

Hello --

I am trying to use a dump-file with a relay & it isn't working. Ideally, each time the relay pulls from the source, it would start a new dump-file.

I've also tried to put a dump-file on mount & have that mount fall back to the relay. That doesn't work either.

Thank you-
Matt

Re: Fwd: Re: Can't support more than one listener

2009-12-11T11:21:27Z

Just an update... I still haven't gotten around to troubleshooting why
Icecast on my Windows 7 system doesn't support more than one listener,
that's a mini project.

I did install the shoutcast server on my Windows 7 system and it seems
to have no trouble supporting more than one listener.

I'll report back if I learn anything new about IceCast.

Cheers, Eric

Icecast + Traktor Pro Broadcast.

2009-12-11T08:01:35Z

Hello All:

Probably this topic has been discussed before if so please direct me to the Thread.

I'm not a computer expert and the idea of broadcasting from T.Pro via Icecast its looking a little bit complicated for me.

Hopefully you guys can help.

Thank you

fallback file for FLAC stream

2009-11-22T16:47:22Z

Hello,

I'm running FLAC streaming on Icecast-2.3.2 server and it works great for
long time.
Now I tried to define fallback-mountpoint for it.
This fallback mount would be a file located in Icecast webroot. But
Icecast doesn't accept any FLAC file I created. It writes warning:

"WARN source/source_move_clients stream /test-fallback.flac and /test.flac are of different types, ignored"

I tried to create test-fallback.flac file with Ogg as transport layer,
I tried to capture live FLAC stream into file and then use it as
test-fallback.flac, no success.

I'm using following definition:

<mount>
<mount-name>/test.flac</mount-name>
<fallback-mount>/test-fallback.flac</fallback-mount>
<fallback-override>1</fallback-override>
</mount>

Other fallback-mountpoints for mp3 streams work nice for me.

So - is here any way how could I create correct file for using it as
fallback file for FLAC stream?
Or could you recommend me how to do fallback for FLAC stream?

Thank you for help,

Milos

That's not how it works, as far as I know. The "another" server pulls
from the first. icecast doesn't "push" streams. Assuming the radio
buddies you mention are running icecast, you would need them to set up a
relay in their configuration to pull from your server. See the pictures
and explanations in the config docs:
http://www.icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.2/icecast2_config_file.html#relay

There is an option to either always have the relay stream going or only
when the relay server has listeners, but owing to above design, this
doesn't help you.

Perhaps someone else has a suggestion for your case (good reason to
reply to the list, btw), but none comes to my mind.

icecast supports relays. See the docs:
http://www.icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.2/icecast2_relay.html

basically, you just tell your icecast on B to pull from mount point(s)
on A.

It's not at all a strange situation and is often done to spread
bandwidth usage around. For instance having a master icecast server that
_only_ allows connections from the relay servers. The people listening
to or viewing your streams get it from the relays in this case.

Of course, mp3 is not encouraged by xiph (nor myself).

Hi,

I've strange situation: I need to connect to icecast server (A) as a

curl -s http://A_address/radio.mp3 | ices -v -c B_configuration.xml

but in this way all metadata are lost. Is it possible to do this

Re: Move listeners problems

2009-11-18T10:07:39Z

BTW, here's the log, if it helps. Moving from olpc.ogg to olpc2.ogg.
Before moving there was 2 listeners on olpc2.ogg, here in the log one
can see that the listener count is increased to 3, which is what I've
seen in the web interface as well. The other things doesn't mean much
to me.

You could check the icecast log files to see what icecast is actually

Move listeners problems

2009-11-18T03:26:29Z

Hi!

I'm using Icecast 2.3.1 (xubuntu Hardy) and have problems moving
listeners. I thought it had to do with the client, but now that I've
tested cortado, mplayer and vlc I've begun to think it is actually the
server. I'm using the web administration interface to move listeners,
get '1' as result code but all clients hang after the buffer is empty.

Any ideas/pointers?

Icecast comes with fairly comprehensive documentation. Take a look at it
if you haven't already.

If you have and you're stuck, be a bit more specific about what you need
help with.

sure get any source client that can read mp3 files and encode them into a stream.
We recommend encoding into an ogg/vorbis stream. The encoded stream is independent of the file formats used anyway as reencoding is a necessary step in most source clients.

there should be plenty of howtos on the topic of playlist based source clients feeding icecast.

possible source clients include but are not limited to:

very unlikely to be the router.

seeing that win7 is the new component in the chain, I would say this is
very likely to be the cause. Probably down to the win7 firewall or TCP
stack limiting connections, in theory a packet sniffer would still see
the packets getting to the win7 network interface but would drop the
connection immediately.

I don't know that Icecast is at fault, but I thought I would start with

this maillist to see if anyone here can help. I've attached my Icecast
files to this e-mail.

As far as I can tell, the access.log file shows no indication of
listener activity, at least I can see no correspondence of log lines
that match when the listeners appear in the error.log file. Is there a
way to increase the logging level in this file? Should I be able to see
listeners attaching in this file?

In the error.log file I can see no indication of a two listeners
attempting to connect. I can see where listener-a connects, but there is
no indication of the listener-b attempting to connect. I can see
listener-a disconnect, and then I can see listener-b connect, but there
is no indication of listener-a trying to reconnect. It is possible that
after listener-a connects, Icecast is not event getting a connect
message from listener-b because something else is blocking it out
(Windows or the router)? Maybe I need to install a packet listener on my
system an watch the ethernet traffic?

Possible problems are

1. My router. But I think not because the same router supports multiple
listeners with my old computer, and both computers are connected to the
same router.

2. My new computer is Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate RTM (with two ethernet
connections). My old computer is Windows XP (with one ethernet
connection). It would help if someone else could tell me if they have
Icecast working correctly (or not) on Windows 7.

3. Icecast. I am running Icecast 2.3.1 on both computers (ignore what
I said earlier about 3.2.1), and using the same icecast.xml file
(except the ports are different). This is likely not the problem.

Any more advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Eric

What makes you think icecast is at fault in this case? are listeners
being rejected. Maybe you should look at both log files to see if
listeners are trying to connect, and if so why the second connection is
being dropped.

I'm assuming I have enough upstream bandwidth because streaming to
multiple listeners on my old computer works fine. Both computers are on
the same network behind a router on a broadband connection.

I'm not really sure what to look for in the logs. What log do I need to
look at, access or error? The error log is set to debug level and I can
see the listener count go up and down, to as high as 3.

Cheers, Eric

My two cents' worth:

Measure your upstream bandwidth to make sure you have adequate bandwidth
to support multiple listeners.

Monitor your icecast logs to see what happens when a second user tries
to log on.

Can't support more than one listener

2009-11-07T17:24:42Z

I'm running Icecast 3.2.1 on Windows 7 on my new computer and I've tried
streaming with oddcast as well as shoutcast, but for some reason only
one listener at a time can hear the stream.

I'm running Icecast 2.3.1 on Windows XP on my old computer streaming
with oddcast, and it supports multiple listeners just fine.

Can anyone think of what is wrong with Icecast on my new computer?

Running the Omnia A/XE encoder and Icecast on the same machine

2009-11-07T13:01:49Z

Can someone tell me what IP address I should use to make this work? I have
tried the normal 127.0.0.1 loopback and also the IP address of the machine
with no luck. The A/XE software allows me to output to three types of
servers. Shoutcast, Http, and Windows Media server. I have tried sending
to all three even though I know using the shoutcast setting should work.
You can see the software at
http://www.omniaaudio.com/products/coded-audio/omnia-axe.html Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

sounds like an regression to me.
This bug appeared in mpd quite some time ago and was supposedly fixed.

mpd doesn't have a good record in terms of icecast2 support.
Last thing I've heard quite often was that streams generated by mpd and sent
to an icecast2 server made listener clients stop on song change.

still mpd is a very nice source client - once you get it working.

Using MPD as an Icecast source (hint: using jack helps)

2009-10-29T22:48:55Z

I thought I should report this: (In my case at least) defining a "jack"
output for mpd caused a "shout" output to become operational.

I was trying to configure mpd with a "shout" output to feed my Icecast2
server, but with no luck.

Giving up, I fell back to option 2: Feeding my mpd output to darkice using
"jack" as an interface.

As soon as I had defined the jack output in mpd.conf, the
already-defined-but-not-working "shout" output started working!

All I did was add the following to mpd.conf:
audio_output {
type "jack"
name "my jack device"
}

I am using mpd 0.14.2 (Ubuntu 9.04).

serving crossdomain.xml from icecast web-root

2009-10-29T20:42:17Z

Hi

I'm trying to serve a flash app the crossdomain.xml file for a flash app from the web root of my icecast2 server but everytime my app requests the file it gets it but with the wrong mime type. After asking on irc I tried the following solution:

<icecast>
<mime-types>/etc/mime.types</mime-types>
...

to force it to use the main server mime-type definitions however it still served the file as application/octet-stream and was ignored by flash which ended up throwing a security sandbox exception...

http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/2009-April/011444.html

this user (david saunders) somehow got it to work back in april so if david or anyone else can explain how they overcame this problem (or anyone else) i would be really grateful.

Thanks

I see, thank you. I guess the challenge will be finding a system which

I can look into increasing the burst-on-connect value.

OK, I will await that then while looking into inserting metadata at
encoding time.
