yp listings

Post by dj001 »

Using steamcast software, my station is now listed in the steamcast and shoutcast yps.

How do I get it into the icecast yp? (Directory=http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi is showing fine in the config file.)

How do I remove it from the shoutcast yp? (I use a streamhost for shoutcast already, but they don't support icecast or steamcast.)

I need to release an update to fix the xiph listing capabilities. If you do not want to be listed on shoutcast then just comment out the SourceIP or SourceIsDefault option.

The icecast forum says that you must put in your IP address as Server IP, and not localhost, which is what I have now. I tried this, and for some reason, my encoder disconnects. It connects with localhost, disconnects with my IP address. I looked in the config file to see if I had to enter the IP address somewhere in addition to the Port, but could not find it. I might be doing something wrong (This might not be a bug).

There is a new requirement in the icecast directory where i must specify the ip in the add call. This is not something steamcast currently does. It seems rather strange that they added this requirement. The next release will do this but the current one does not.

OK, I'll be on the lookout for the bugfix.

This may have something I mentioned some time ago to Jay about my Steamcast server being flooded by the "PS2 Radio Player". I had to remove the yp listing to Icecast due to this issue. . Seems it only effected the mp3 streams on Icecast.

likely what that was, is that particular player integrated the icecast directory. icecast's directory has an open XML structure just like steamcast does. So anyone can add the yp to their project.

I just installed icecast and connected a stream. Funny thing is, I was UNABLE to do it using my IP address. I was only able to do it using localhost.

Does this mean I can shoot my steamcast stream over to icecast (which would save bandwidth)?

Hello everyone,

First of all, a short introduction: I'm the dev who's primarily responsible for the rewrite of dir.xiph. org :)

Now, to answer your questions, we now do require that the listenurl be a publicly reachable UR L pointing to the stream in order to be listed. The reason is quite simple: we don't want to list non-publicly available streams, and we can't guess it from anything else. If we tried to guess it from the IP contacting us, we'd fail everytime HTT P connections are tunneled through a (possibly transparent) proxy.

Regards,
Vincent
dir.xiph.org
