service names are not important, they are generally used for notes so that you know why it is there and can remove it when done.

if you ip changes all the time then use the localhost or 127.0.0.1 address. If you are trying to source from one machine within your LAN to another, use the LAN IP rather ...

I am migrating all steamcast services to our steamcast.com domain.

If you want to continue listing on the steamcast/radiotoolbox.com directories you will have to replace the radiotoolbox url touch point http://www.radiotoolbox.com/mediatoolbox/yp-cgi.php with the new location at http://www ...

as has been said there is an example on the doc page.

The config you posted above is wrong.

yes I may include an example of a second mount in the included configuration file.

you configured it wrong, don't double up entries in the configuration file like that, steamcast reads the configuration file from top to bottom and with your config as you have it you are basically setting up 2 sources with the first one not having any configuration.

feel free to pm me the info on your server and I will take a look.

it should be auto connecting every 30 secs.

description fields are only available in Icecast2 style streams.

tested with the latest oddcast v3 with Vorbis and Mpeg encoding using both Icecast2 and SHOUTcast settings and I get now playing info. I cannot fix what I cannot duplicate.

Are you certain that the encoder is passing it on to the stream. If you use OGG it should as Steamcast does not modify the now ...

i don't under stand your question. As far as IP you can find it at www.whoismyisp.com

no, aim, icq etc are entries I consider to be static plus SHOUTcast specific. Streamhits is also a shoutcast specific capability. Again these are all reasons I cannot add them to Radio Toolbox.
