no, what I am saying is that the source sets the bitrate via a header either ice-bitrate for icecast or icy-br for shoutcast. Many encoders who use VBR can't easily determine the bitrate or use hardcoded values. Steamcast will soon be utilizing it's internal bitrate detection code to publicize this ...

well technically any on-demand system is not safe from downloaders. At any rate the question was coming from a different front. Radio Toolbox's website pays the bills so it needs to be satisfying a need to keep projects like steamcast, radio toolbox and mp3 toolbox going.

if I remember right oddcast uses the bitrate setting to use for publishing in the yp. Change your bitrate in the oddcast config (for lame) and it should be reflected in the directories. Steamcast will soon not be taking the information from sources as too many are taking creative license with it and ...

well I assume you know how to use unix in my docs, otherwise I would be writing docs for all sorts of different platforms.

As an fyi if you don't want to bother finding your pid and you only have the one server on your system do:

killall -s SIGHUP steamcast

every man has his price.

well I wasn't referring to you running each instance for your dj's. Your dj's can each individually run their own server from their own home connection privately and with a 1 listener capacity. Then all you need is their ip's and ports

you should probably just relay them. In future versions of steamcast your relay source will be able to change on the fly.

to flush log files use SIGHUP
to kill the server use SIGTERM or SIGINT

in the next version
SIGWINCH can be utilized to rehash your configuration files.

it will be fixed at some point.

does it should that it is successfully touching our directory?

shoutcast also has this issue on extremely popular servers but as I said our polling is done a little differently, so to say that this is uncommon would be inaccurate. You definately shouldn't concern yourself with it.

that is because some boards like php look at extensions to varify it is an image. You will have to figure out some way to change the extension of the whatimplayin.php script to whatimplayin.png

you can read the docs at www.php.net to make a real simple change to the script to have it output a file ...

Green is the number of hits sent our way, Red is the number of hits set your way.

let's just say, this is not likely to appear soon, I am not saying it never ever will, but my current thoughts on the design would limit source connections to only one username and password.

there is a poorly designed streamripper plugin that does this, check the user agents if that doesn't yield results then you are likely to never know.
