SIGHUP isn't a command itself, but rather just an argument in another command. You typicall use kill to either kill a process, or otherwise interrupt it and have it do something like reload a conf file and continue. Typical syntax for a SIGHUP is as follows (Jay can elaborate or correct if I'm wrong...

I see what you mean. That would work as long as their isp doesn't block any ports. (And we know how isp's like to do that! ) ) But I would then need a way to first check if their stream was running, and then automatically switch to it. I could possible write a server script to do that. I would need ...

What exactly did you enter on your command line?

So you're suggesting I set up a separate instance of steamcast for every guest dj? I would have two problems with that. One is obvious when you consider a dozen or two guest dj's. That means a lot of steamcast running. The other problem comes when many of them connect at the same time. That's a lot ...

Do you have an alternative way in mind to manage & track guest dj's?

*bump*

I'm surprised there were no comments to the multiple passwords per mount suggestion. I guess it's not about to worked on!

One feature that would be helpful would be to allow more than one password on a mount. If I let other people use my steamcast server, I'd like to be able to assign individual passwords to each one of them. Ideally this would be in an external password file that I could update without having to resta...

ok, that's fair enough if shoutcast requires it, and you don't want to risk having steamcast removed, then how about allowing it if you're not public? I'll likely be using steamcast to relay an fm community station that won't be listed in shoutcast. If SaveBandwith=Yes, then YP listing is disabled. ...

I'm mistaken that shoutcast does this. It was obviously some other program that I can't recall. BUT. It *is* a very good idea. It could be implemented in a way to query the source occasionally to get title information, and even update the shoutcast and similar dirs. When a listener comes along, I'd ...

Something shoutcast does that is desirable in steamcast is when no one is listening it drops the relay source receiving stream . No point is bringing it in if no one is going to listen. This saves bandwidth of course. Might such a feature find it's way in steamcast someday?

Relays attempt reconnection every 10 seconds. Is there a way to change that period? I'd like to change it be more like the 30 seconds you mentioned. A variable would be nice in the conf. (and you can pull my lips off if there is one in there, cuz I've looked!) my other question is best in it's own t...

the configuration file? All the items that start with Source should be grouped together, starting with SourceMount=. Every time it sees SourceMount, it starts a new mount, and everything after it starting with Source will apply to it (right up until it sees another SourceMount). There is a simple ex...

I know other people that did the same thing. I wonder if there's a way to make it more obvious that the source mounts should be grouped in blocks? Maybe include another block right after, but commented out with a statement again that extra mounts must be group starting with SourceMount etc. Just a t...

Ah, this must be the thread you were talking about when you said you already mentioned the segmentation fault problem. I thought I got rid of the segmentation fault problem by turning off the logging of YP touches (YPLog=No). I was able to repeatedly connect and disconnect without a segmentation fau...

Michael Hunt is confusing unicast and multicast. Unicast means one listener per stream. Multicast means multiple listeners per stream. Multicast only works on a particular ip range, so that it stays within an intranet (basically). I don't know of any audio streamer that can do multicast, but that do...
