Icecast Server: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:15, 4 October 2020

Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus and WebM streams.
MP3 works too, but it is not officially supported due to its non-free nature.

It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately-running jukebox and many things in between.
It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction.

Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2.

-**diff to trunk
-***fast pre-buffering aka burst-on-connect. <br>State a burst size in bytes to indicate how much should be sent at listener connect.
-***mp3 accepts artist and title separately on the url.
-***program invocation at stream start and end, per mount based.
-***on-demand relays, activated on first listener, disconnected when listenersfalls to 0. <br>Available for master relays as well.
-***multiple Ogg codec streaming. Current codecs handled are Theora, Vorbis, Speex, Writ.
-***Clients are started at theora key frame if theora is being streamed.
-***Added URL and command based listener authentication
-***server xml reload, and reopen logging available via admin url
-***slave startup re-organised so that relays are more independant
-***on xml reload, active sources are updated as well
-***When max-listeners reached, a HTTP 302 code can be sent to redirect clients to alternative slave hosts.
-***authenticated relays, those that match the relay user/pass, bypass the max-listener check
