[Icecast] multiple mounts each varying bitrates

[David Mehler]

Hello,

If anyone is running an Icecast server that serves at least 3 separate
streams each with it's own bitrate can I get a look at your config?

Thanks.
Dave.

Hiya David, see my previous answer - I am sure it addresses these
questions.

Just to reiterate, icecast will serve whatever the source tells it to.
If you have 3 separate ices0 processes running, icecast will serve 3
streams. There is a setting in icecast that can limit the maximum number
of sources.

I just realised my previous email didn't go to the list for some reason.
Here it is again:

Currently, I have three liquadsoap ".liq" files, and they all look very
similar to this:

-------- 8< --------
***@beastie:/etc/liquidsoap$ cat jake.liq
#!/usr/bin/liquidsoap

#set("log.file.path","/tmp/basic-radio.log")

def my_request_function() =
# Get the first line of my external process
result =
list.hd(
get_process_lines("/usr/bin/getrandomsong.sh
/etc/liquidsoap/jakeradio.sh"))
# Create and return a request using this result
request.create(result)
end

# Create the source
s = mksafe(request.dynamic(my_request_function))

sc = smart_crossfade(conservative=true, s)

output.icecast(%mp3.vbr(quality=1),
host = "localhost", port = 8000,
password = "ICECASTPASSWORD", mount = "jake-radio.mp3",
description="jakeradio - all my songs on random", name="jakeradio",
sc)


***@beastie:/etc/liquidsoap$
-------- 8< --------

The important differences between the configs are the "mount",
"description", and "name" in the last command.
As you can see, the mp3's are re-encoded to a variable bit rate, quality
set to 1, which I am sure is overkill lol

There is no special config in icecast, icecast will stream whatever the
streaming source tells it to - in my case, the streaming source is
liquadsoap.

You may want to look at the setting in icecast.xml
icecast/limits/clients and/or icecast/limits/sources - mine is set to
100, I *think* sources defaults to something quite low, like 2, which
bit me when I tried to stream 3 things....

Also, you'll want to look at icecast/authentication/source-password and
set that to something - Above, in my liq file, you'll see 'password =
"ICECASTPASSWORD"' - they need to match.

I hope I've given you enough to get you on the right track :D

Hi,

Thanks, that helps a lot. I'm trying to get ices2 now to do the
multiple clients and sources, I'll post what I get later today.

Thanks.
Dave.

Awesome :)

I have nothing for the lyrics. The source should send metadata to icecast though, and icecast should update the metadata to any listening clients. Kodi will show that metadata, and so will Audacious, and I presume almost any client will.

I've never used ices2 but presumably it can send metadata?

A live config for liquidsoap. The telnet server is used to update live
