Nicecast shoutcast 23/22/2023 Further documentation is available from. While running the Icecast server can be administrated from any browser at after entering your administrator credentials defined in step 1. The server is started and stopped by the following commands: /etc/init.d/icecast2 start In the configurations files there are explanatory notes on parameters. Of course there are many more settings you can play with. The last line needs to be changed to ENABLE=true Open the /etc/default/icecast2 file as root in an editor. Leave it as localhost (no need to give a resolved IP there) when you only want to stream in your local network. You also need to define the hostname where your stream can be reached: localhost The same will need to be done in the Ices or Darkice configuration files. That means leave it default or change it in the ices2.xml file (see below) as well. If you changed the or you need to do so on the source or relay side as well. For security reasons you should setup passwords in the section: admin This depends on the service being used as to whether the TLH requirement needs to be met or whether you are automatically imported into the SHOUTcast Directory.Open the file /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml as root in an editor. If using any of these services then your station will either be automatically added into the SHOUTcast Directory or will require you to reach a specific number of total listening hours (TLH) before your station is imported into the SHOUTcast Directory. Radionomy Group Services / SHOUTcast Streaming Service Each Icecast server to be listed in the SHOUTcast Directory needs to directly provide the required information to the SHOUTcast Directory servers and not doing this can lead to you being banned from being listed in the SHOUTcast Directory. Note: We do not support sending manual updates for the Icecast server like is supported by the Icecast Directory. If needing to include multiple Icecast servers as part of a clustered stream, the station name, genre and website details all need to be the same, otherwise the SHOUTcast Directory may not cluster them correctly together (which can still happen even if the details are correct due to how 1.x DNAS style clustering works). Once the above configuration options are present, as long as the Icecast server is able to see the SHOUTcast Directory server and the information it provides passes validation (as only MP3 and AAC based streams can be listed), then the stream should be listed. To get the Icecast server configured to be listed, the following needs to be added to your Icecast server configuration file: You cannot find the listing in the SHOUTcast Directory. It is not reported as being an Icecast server then it If an Icecast server instance has been modified so that Such listings will work but due to a lower set of information provided by the Icecast server on its communication with the SHOUTcast Directory, some aspects of the listings will not be provided and can only be enabled for native SHOUTcast DNAS servers. This is an alternative server to the SHOUTcast DNAS server which can be configured to be able to be listed in the SHOUTcast Directory as a SHOUTcast 1.x DNAS compatible listing. Icecast stations are no longer listed in the SHOUTcast DirectoryĪs a result of all DNAS v1.x streams no longer being listed due to a vulnerability issue which caused Chrome, Safari and other browsers to remove support, Icecast streams (which use v1 protocol listing method) are also no longer listed. To do this, you need to ensure the stream is marked as public and for all 2.x DNAS you have to have a valid authhash (see SHOUTcast Authhash Management for what to do if you are having issues obtaining an authhash for your stream(s)).įor the legacy 1.x DNAS (using the 2.x DNAS is preferred over the 1.x DNAS), you just need to ensure the stream is marked as public.Įnsuring the stream is correctly marked as public can be done either via the connected stream source and the options it provides or it can be done by forcing the DNAS via the publicserver configuration option which if set as publicserver=always will override what is provided by the the connected stream source (be that a direct source or a relay source). This is the primary way for getting your station listed in the SHOUTcast Directory. If you are still uncertain whether your station can be listed in the SHOUTcast Directory, please contact support with information about your existing station and they will be able to advise you. There are currently a number of ways for a station to be listed in the SHOUTcast Directory (also referred to as the YP) which this document will detail. How to get listed in the SHOUTcast Directory
