Development
- trunk http://svn.xiph.org/icecast/trunk/icecast
- kh-branch http://svn.xiph.org/icecast/branches/kh/icecast
- diff to trunk
- fast pre-buffering aka burst-on-connect.
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.
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
- fast pre-buffering aka burst-on-connect.
