sorry for the attachments, but I've been trying to get this to work for the past several hours, and I must be doing something wrong. I've gone threw the configuration files for shout, and icecast-server to try and set it up the way I want it. right now I'm not worried about what is displayed to people for names of songs and stuff, I just want to get it up and running to get it to stream audio. The problem is this. when I try to run shout to have it stream audio I get this error. Unknown host: [ dmwaters.homeip.net I've matched the host in shout.conf with the host in icecast.conf so apparrently I'm missing something. can someone please tell me what I'm missing?:p -------------- next part -------------- # This be a comment, I like comments. # To use this file, copy it to etc/icecast.conf in the icecast base directory ################################################################################ # I suggest you read this file carefully, and don't do anything silly # cause the configuration file parser is pretty lame. # If not stated otherwize, you can change these while the server is # running (through the admin console).

So no more messing with 3 different ports in the firewall # rules. # The server_name can currently ONLY be specified here, and ONLY when you start # the server.

If not, BAD THINGS<tm> will happen. # E.g localhost is definately probably not what you want :) # Using your ip will probably work.. but it will look nicer with your hostname. # The problem is that if you specify something that doesn't resolve to yourself, # then virtual host support will get fscked up, and default server action # might not work either. # Also, changing the port here will not affect the server when doing a 'rehash' # since binding to a port is done only once, when the server is started. # server is started. # Users on dialup connections with dynamic ip:s are in trouble here, I know. # You will just have to live without the virtual hosts support, cause there is # no portable way of getting all the ip:s the process is binding to. Either # edit this file before starting icecast and fill in the current ip, or just # live with it.

This was # of course a neat way of increasing the number of possible listeners # for your broadcast. You could build a tree-like structure of relays # and broadcast to 1000 listeners without problem with the originating # stream on a cable modem or whatever. # In icecast 1.3.0 and above, we make this procedure much simpler. # If you want to relay a stream from another server, simply add an # alias for that server. Say you want to relay the broadcast originating # from my machine (laika.linux.tm:8000/laika), on your machine, do this: # alias laika http://laika.linux.tm:8000/laika # What happens is that when a listeners connects to your server and # requests the /laika stream, then your icecast server will connect # as a client to my machine, and then feed my stream to the listener. # All subsequent requests for /laika will use the same feed (i.e only # one connect will be made to my machine). Icecast will automagically # shut the link from my machine down when no one is listening. I.e # no bandwidth will be wasted. # The old functionality (i.e adding a more or less static relay) is still # there, but you have to do it from the admin console. Just do # relay pull http://laika.linux.tm:8000, and that will be accessible as # http://your_machine:port/laika.linux.tm:8000/ (you can change this with # the -m option to relay pull. # There is also a possibity to do it the other way around, starting at # the originating server. Just do "relay push <source_id> host:port", and # your stream will be relayed to the remote server. # In theory, this should enable virtual host support, cause you can # specify an alias like so: # alias http://virtual.host.com:port/whatever /something # This will make all requests to virtual.host.com:port/whatever use the # stream /something. This is not really thorougly tested, but it should # work if your server_name is correctly set, and the client is sending # the valid Host: <host:port> http header. ############# alias radiofri http://195.7.65.207:6903 ############################ Kick Relays ###################################### # How long to keep aliased sources when no clients are left listening to it. ############################ kick_relays 10 ############################ Transparent proxy ################################ # This is somewhat equivalent to making _all_ request to aliased sources. So # instead of adding an alias for all streams in the world, turn on the # transparent proxy support. Using this on a server that has streams of it's # own can be quite tricky, and then, as usual it is _very_ important that # the server_name is correct. # Most mp3 playing clients have support for a http proxy # (afaik x11amp and winamp do, anyway). If listeners set your machine as this # proxy, and you turn on transparent_proxy, then when a client requests # http://whatever.com:port/whatever, then your icecast server will connect # to whatever.com and feed the whatever-stream to the client. All subsequent # request for this stream will use the same feed, just as if it was an alias. # When running icecast with your own broadcasts, then you should turn this off, # or anyone can bring your network down with a lot of relaying connects. # Don't turn this on if you don't have a server_name set ############################ transparent_proxy 0 ######################## Access Control Lists ################################## # Perhaps you don't care who connects to your server, but I guess most people # do. Icecast has 2 different ways of keeping people out. The first is using # libwrap (tcpd, tcp wrappers, whatever you want to call it). It is a separate # library written by Wietse Venema that over the years has become more or less # a security standard in Unix. It should compile on every sane and unsane unix # platform, and perhaps other platforms as well, I don't know. # libwrap uses the files hosts.deny and hosts.allow, usually found in /etc # or /usr/local/etc. You probably have to be root to edit these files. # Try the man pages for tcpd and hosts_access for more information. # There are 4 different icecast control thingies to use in hosts.deny/allow. # First just "icecast", which controls _all_ connections, and kick in before # anything is written or read on the socket. If a connection is denied here # then it's bye bye. If it is allowed then depending on the type of the # connection (admin/client/source), the controls "icecast_client", # "icecast_admin", "icecast_source" describe who gets in. # So to deny all clients except those matching *.se, add # "icecast_client: ALL EXCEPT *.se" to hosts.deny. There are millions of # variations on how to build a complete defence, and it's quite simple too. # libwrap is a very powerful tool, consult the manpages for more information. #### # The second way (which is always available) is using icecast's internal # acl lists. The functionality is the same, but it is not as powerful when it # comes to configuration and flexibilty as libwrap. # You can specify acl rules either here in icecast.conf, or using the # admin console. The syntax in icecast.conf is: # allow <all|client|source|admin> <hostmask> # deny <all|client|source|admin> <hostmask> # So, using the same rule as above (allowing only clients from *.se) # deny <client> * # allow <client> *.se # When using the internal acl rules, you need to specify a policy. # This rule kick in when no allow or deny rule affects a connection. # If you set acl_policy to 0, then connections who are not allowed by any # allow rule will be denied, and the other way around if you set it to 1. ######################### acl_policy 1 #deny all * #allow all *.ryd.student.liu.se ################################################################################ -------------- next part -------------- # This be a comment, I like comments. # To use this file, copy it to etc/shout.conf in the shout base directory # # Or, if you plan multiple instances/channels/mount points of shout # call shout with -C <name> to use a copy of this conf file # This is so you can have 5 or 500 shout instances running, each with a # different .conf file, yippee ################################################################################ # I suggest you read this file carefully, and don't do anything silly # cause the configuration file parser is pretty lame. ################################################################################ ############### Server Location and Connection Options ######################### # server_name - There is no support, as in icecast, of anything but a valid # resolvable server name.

Think of this as what channel on # the server this stream is for. For instance, you might have several channels # on your server, all providing different content. You might have a rock, rap, # and # techno channels, or a 56bit and 128bit channel. You would then run a # copy of shout for each, specifing different mount's, or channels to reside # on. So, you would have http://localhost:8000/rock, http://localhost:8000/rap, # and # http://localhost:8000/techno, if you specified each copy of shout to # use rock, rap, and techno as their different mount points.
