Uses include public broadcasting or point-to-point sending of audio feeds over the internet.
The normal ./configure make make install process leaves out some of the needed log files and directories. I resolve this by adding them manually.
There is also a snag that it refuses to run as user "root". I resolve this by editing the .xml config file so it runs as user "nobody"
It does all now seem to work, including optional listing of streams in the Icecast Stream Directory.
After installation you need to do a bit of manual editing of the config file which is found at /etc/icecast.xml
For basic operation this is only a few essential items like passwords, hostname and uncommenting of the little section if you want directory listing(s) of your stream(s).
There is no GUI for Icecast Server. To start it you just enter the following into the terminal:-
Code: Select all
icecast -c /etc/icecast.xml
Code: Select all
icecast -b -c /etc/icecast.xml
I am also uploading .pet packages of Darksnow with Darkice INCLUDED.
Darkice is a source client which produces the stream for Icecast (others are available). It runs from command line. Darksnow is a GUI front end (with menu entry) for Darkice if you prefer the convenience of that.
