Title: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: streamaudio on January 26, 2015, 09:52:09 PM
Hello RadioDJs ;)
i want to present my free icecast streaming project.
If You are searching a free streaming server, for Your radio - here it is :)
I offer 2 versions: 32 / 64 slots (up to ~510 kbit/s) - every user starts with 32 slots - if more is needed, i upgrade it.
Beginner or experimental radios are very welcome.
I want to support people who doesnt have the possibility to buy expensive streaming packages from commercial streaming providers.
So lets begin.

Because consistently people register to this free service and dont use it for real, here are the rules:
- the icecast-streamlink should be used in your website respectively playlist
- the icecast-streamlink should be your mainstream - not the backup
- the stream shouldnt be offline daylong
- re-streaming of other radios is not so fine ;)

OK, the rules might sound a little bit hard, but i dont like it when i providing resources of the server that dont be used.
Hope you understand that because its work & time i have to spend, for adding & removing accounts when they are daylong offline.

Contact me via mail: mail@streamaudio.de (german language preferred - english is also possible)
More info: http://streamaudio.de (http://streamaudio.de)

And, Yes its free!

Will you be offering any shout-cast servers in the future? just asking...... :)

Has shoutcast a bitrate-limit function like icecast2 kh version?
If this is possible and You would prefer shoutcast ( i dont like it :) ), i would set it up.
when icecast2 is ok for You, it would be easier for me ;)

Not sure on the bite-rate limit with Shoutcast? I broadcast in 128k 64K and 32K does it not limit it to
those settings?

Just asking because I already use Shoutcast, simple transition to new servers. I will research the Icecast server I used it years ago to broadcast in ogg.

Thank you for the help......

There is not that much different between servers with bitrates. It all depends on what you need from here. I am very happy with 96k as it is right in the middle of mobile and desktop streaming. it is what all HD radio stations stream at with AAC encoders. 128k is the same as 96k AAC.
Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 / 128 slots
Post by: streamaudio on January 31, 2015, 09:44:20 AM
The reason of this bitrate-limit like on icecast-kh is, that every user decide which bitrate he is streaming.
There are some who need only 64 kbit/s and some want 320 kbit/s.
People who streaming with 320 takes more bandwith than those with 64 - thats not fair - in this case.
I want to limit it to 96 to get many people streamed with normal quality - its not to low or to high.

And with icecast You can stream in nearly every format (mp3 aac ogg flac wave...) - like joshua said, in aac it sounds realy good.

AAC 96kbps is HD according to my radio engineer people. That is what a majority of radio companies use. It is the perfect sweet spot of bitrates. Thank you again Streamaudio for hooking up my stream.

I see my stream has grown since I have moved over to your service. I like that it is kicking but. Now if there was a simple Javascript that could show the now playing of the server. Anyone got ideas? I have to get it to show up with the RDJ Plugin in WP.

Is it you want to test or you just dont know how to configure it? Trust me if you use AAC at 96k you will be running good. I love the setup, just need to get some scripts to work showing the stuff on my website but I can do that much some how. If not oh well. But so far for my connections to mobile and the like have been solid.

Yep, its only icecast streaming.
But i dont think that the packages end realy fast. 128 listeners for free is realy good i find  :P
When the freeservice is running good for a while, i could make some bigger paid packages (256 / 512).

Hello Chaos  :D
i get your mail - account is created but only with port 8000 - hope that works.
Icecast has an option for multiple ports, but i dont want to test it in live mode - hope 8000 is ok in that way.
If 8004 is hardly needed - i have to test it on another server, that need time  8)

Edit: should now work on port 8004 - hope no other mounts have problems after that change in the configfile  :-*

Post by: streamaudio on February 07, 2015, 09:28:16 AM
I prefer only one port on one server (8000).
But if you need another and the icecast server is running stable, i can add some more.
Except port 80 / 443 or something like that ;)

Has anything changed in the settings of the server?
For the sever was restarted, the listening were visible in the coder screen.

In my local icecast32 server it shows the listerners. ( it's not the KH version)

No i changed nothing on this server - only on the testserver.
I have problems with the current setup, icecast kh - where i can limit the source bitrate.
I could also take normal icecast 2.3.2 / 2.4.0 or so - but these havent the source bitrate limit.
Because if this is not, normal user could stream in higher bitrate then 96kb/s and would take resources of other user ;)

The problem is, that mount kicket without a trace, and icecast says 3 sec sourcetimeout - thats wrong!
And therefor i have 2 workarounds: higher sourcetimeout + fallback.
I know its not the best solution. Icecast kh is configured & build correctly - so this isnt it.

Hope i can give you a good streaming service at no costs - for you ;)

Edit: & i setup a new server and want to move it in the next 24 hours.
so there will be a reconnect where your and the listeners dns have to update ;)
(you dont have to do something - your dns updates automaticly - it only can take some time)

Thanks to everyone  :-*

New Server is running, most users are right connected - but some have to wait or update their dns.
I restart the mounts, so for now there should be no reconnect for long time  :cool:

ILOVEIT  ;D

AND: fallbackfile was added to every stream, so if icecast kick your mount/stream - no listener will lost, and hear my fine fallback sound.
If you need your own, please send it to me in the bitrate you stream, and i intergrate it.

Right, i have to delete the 8004 in the icecast config - have problems with the fallback.
Port 8000 is working good - so if you could test or use it with 8000 would be easier for me ;)

Thanks. But its only a workaround, you should know.
Because Icecast kicked the mounts, he said mount is not reachable for 3 sec - thats not true!
So to hold the listeners, where icecast is kickin the mount, it plays the fallback.

Curious is, that it isnt working, now.
Or have i done something wrong?  :-[

Thanks always for the quick response..... :ok:

I really can not say that it is so.

I'm just a flea in the fur of a bear.
I am now testing Icecast 2.5 beta1 (2.4.99.1) server which allows multiple settings, but i do it local, so nothing can go wrong, only this version is not yet stable.

Until now, you doing a good job.  :cool: :cool:

why do you need 8004? that does not make sense to me. You should not need a specialized port.

why do you need 8004? that does not make sense to me. You should not need a specialized port.

The reason was is my station is already established on radionomy, tune in, my app host etc.  I host those streams on my shoutcast server on ports 8000 and 8002. I wanted to stream on port 8004 so I could gradually switch all of my streams to his server. As you know getting tune in and radionomy to help with anything is almost impossible. And my stations app just got listed on the major carriers. Plus I didn't want to loose my current listener base. Been in this internet game since 2003 in some form or another and I love the current momentum I have just didn't want to screw that up and he agreed to help me by offering to use port 8004 and having port 8000 open to me so i could easily convert all of my streams to his server.

Hope that makes some sence....

I think you could have moved everything over. What would you do if your used another service like what I do. the IP and the like change. What would you do. I think you will have to grin and bare it. Yes it sucks and listeners dont like it but no pain no gain. I dont like having to do it myself but I have had to. TuneIn is easy to change. Also whom ever makes your app is easy to change as well. trust me friend I have had to do so many changes it is not funny.

I guess I could have moved a little quicker on changing everything but I was also testing out the stream first, I only had it for 4 days before the changes happened. Also I have only self hosted over the years because of cost to stream, not worth it on my end.

By far this is the best free service I have ever used. and if I have time I might think about the change, but for now I am good.

on a side note, sounds like you have a better re-pore with Tune-in, because any changes I have requested are still unchanged and it has been two months.

What station is yours you don't have it listed? Happy streaming!

I just click the submit an update to this station and it is done usually in 24 hrs or less. I have them all changed back to my paid streaming host which is $5 a month. it is pretty good company. They have a great track record with me. They always try to do the best they can. I have had some horrid providers but so far these guys are the best I have had.

Sure free services are crap, but that is what you get for free. I think moving to a paid service is best. if you want I can talk to my guys and see if I can swing you a deal. It is about time you get something you want or need. I dont worry to much about things. so far iTunes is where most of my listeners come from. They can be a pain to update, but so far they have been cool to me. So make the plunge and get your streams setup right.

I know, i know. It doesnt run perfect  :D
But I move on to make it better.
The problem with the reconnect of mountpoints is already there  :'(
Even with Debian 6/7. What im testing for now, is Debian Jessie & Icecast KH.
It seems to run better, but im afraid to say that - because if then again it doesnt work... it would be a shame.

So i have to move next week again, to make your radiostation more stable.
There would be a downtime for 15-30min

Like You can see in header, i delete the package "stream128", because nobody use / need it now.
Therefor i upgrade the bitrate a little bit from 96 > 128kbit/s  ;D
So if you can, please stream in higher bitrate to make my & your ears feel good  :D

And thanks for the clearing@all. I try my best, but i have not so much time beneath my job.
If You have any problems, please tell me, so i can try to make it better.

The website is now also in (school-) english available - nothing special, but its better than in german for You.

First, I think it's a very nice offer for testing, but what does it mean?

QuoteTestaccounts:  These are our 2 accounts, to make shure You can test the service without registration.
Server: s1.streamaudio.de
Port: 8000
Name: testaccount1 Pass: passwort1
Name: testaccount2 Pass: passwort2
limits: 128 kbit/s | 8 listeners | 30 min
If i test it's more than 30 min. :angel:

Of course I've seen that there are not many stations that make use of it. And others do not know what is possible yet.
Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: streamaudio on February 15, 2015, 07:14:43 PM
Nothing for the mount. It ends the listeners stream.
Its to prevent, that one person use it 24/7.
Yeah, somebody can do that, but it kicks the listeners - so its not to nice to use the teststream.
I hope that streamer want a real account, if they like it and dont occupy the teststream.

Lets see what time bring, could be more station see streamaudio, and test it :)

When I use OGG or AAC audio, I get a Security Error Message.  (http://www.radiodj.ro/community/Smileys/LightB/005.gif) This takes place with use of the muses radio player .
Note from muses:
Quote
Unfortunately, playing OGG and AAC audio inside a flash requires the server to have a file named crossdomain.xml, that authorizes Muses Radio Player to access the signal.
A basic example of a crossdomain.xml file, is this:

<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
Please note that this file should be placed on the STREAMING SERVER, so you'll probably need to ask your provider to place it for you.

If it is possible, thanks.

Hello,
sorry for the long waitingtime - was at sports  :ok:
Tomorrow i will move the server away from OVH - such a bad hostingprovider  ???
Dont know what it is exactly. In the way of moving, i change also to debian8 & icecast kh - it works a little bit better.
But to be honest, also on there it doesnt work perfect. I testet it with joshuatree44 (thanks).
And also there where reconnects after some time - better than on actual system, where it kicks so often the mounts, without a trace  :bash:

Im from germany. One server is located in france @OVH... --> bad host  :-X

Believe me i want to make it better, but it will take time to prove it.
This is why im write Beta at my website ;)

EDIT: I moved the server away from OVH to Makonix.
Hope it runs better.
Im now in contact with Karl - the developer of icecast kh - hope he can help me with the "reconnect/drop of mounts" problem  ;)
Im very shure that my icecast kh setup is right, and i tried so many different setups - the problem seems to be on site of icecast kh  :-X
Lets see what karl can say about it.

Hi Streamaudio,

it's a pity that u don't do admin logins because now I can't see the IP addresses from the listeners.
I use a tool from steamcast and in this tool you can than see the geo location from your listeners and that's nice.

Hello Guys,
thanks for the suggestion.

The thing is, i dont have that much space for the audiofiles.
Centovacast has that option: http://centova.com/en/faq/general/information/how_does_the_automatic_live_autodj_switching_feature_for_icecast (http://centova.com/en/faq/general/information/how_does_the_automatic_live_autodj_switching_feature_for_icecast)
But for first i have only pure Icecast runnin - and i like it.
I dont want to be the big host with many options, i want free, easy, stable icecast streaming for many people out there.

@all streamers: keep up your good work - i like it when it streams  :D

That is why I like what you have offered me. It works perfectly for what I need. I have had some of the worst and some of the best. They all have features that I use and others I dont. I think for a free service I am getting all that I need. if I am needed to kick a few bucks in then I will grab the rifle and start the hunt, ha  :hihi: I think people complain about to much and a free service is just that, free. I hark back to what I said, if you dont like what you have either find better or start it yourself.

Isn't that what Radionomy is? An auto DJ or live stream host?

I mean you can upload music and schedule it to play only from those tracks uploaded or you can use the live feature
and it will play 10 seconds of your playlist and then go to your live stream.

Radionomy is a free-ish service you just need to have so many listening hours, or trigger a commercial.
Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: streamaudio on April 29, 2015, 05:33:00 PM
That would be a way.
I can set a fallback in icecast to your radionomy-autodj-stream.

The smaller problem actualy is, the fallback wont work on my icecast-kh - it worked really well - but yesterday is saw/hear, it wont work.
And: I dont know why...

EDIT: Hello Boys & Girls.
I have found the problem in my icecast config, that doesnt let the fallback work.
I forgot to use a username tag beneath the mountpointname.
Yesterday i update it on the config - so please update the username information in your streaming client.
As it seems, sam broadcaster 4 havent this tag on the serverconnection-menu.
So please tell me when you cant connect to the server.

Sorry for the hardupdate - next time i give you more time to change a setting on your side  :)

Help!

My stream has bumped with invalid password. 

Please advise

EDIT:  I have mount point user name as before but there is a small repeating loop going for a few hours now.  Has my password changed???

Please Advise

Post by: streamaudio on May 06, 2015, 02:36:40 PM
Hello,
password is the same.
Only thing you have to add in your streamingclient (BUTT) is the username.
/mountpointname = username ;)
Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: Vanlen on May 06, 2015, 03:57:50 PM
Thanks so much !!!

It works in BUTT and I'm streaming on my test box.

Unfortunately that doesn't work in Radiocaster but I'm at least back up.

Thanks for your quick help on this Eine and your service

Cheers

No problem.
I think i should change it step by step the next time :)
Its to much mailing for me at once.

What i dont understand is, why some streamingclients have the option for username, and many of them dont have the field username.
And when i dont set the username in icecast config, the fallback doesnt work correct...
Currious.

Hi,

Is the Server down........ I think somebody try to hack our pride.
I have the request tool running and somebody is injecting with lots and lots of info with a lot of IP addresses.
Can we shut him down by some kind of block?

Hi,

Yes ED cast don't have a user name space what sold I do?
Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: streamaudio on May 07, 2015, 09:31:34 AM
Yes Icecast was down, it hang up.
Restart the server and its on again.
I think ive done to much changes in Icecastconfig - Sorry.

Yes, Edcast hasnt this username-option.
If you want, please look at http://butt.sourceforge.net/ (http://butt.sourceforge.net/) its a free streaming client which have this option.

I have no access to your accessing tool, so i dont know about it.

EDIT: Sadly icecast strikes. Sometimes i hate it.
I added only the username-tag in the config - and now, nothing goes  >:D
After that it hangsup. I restart the server and take the username-tag back... and nothing goes.
Sometimes some mounts come up, and some be down...  :huh: :'(
Such a big sh..! I hate Icecast - why is it so unstable?  :bash:

For now i change the server and set up Icecast 2.4.2-1 on debian - yes, first off no icecast-kh ;)
Domain be the same, i only change the dns.
So be shure, i dont wanna spite you - but it wont like i want it.

EDIT2: So, i moved Icecast to a new server.
It can take a time till you can login - your dns need time to update - here on my provider-dns it resolves right.
And also i made the username-fu back. So you only need your /mountpoint & password - as before.
I seems like a bug on icecast kh - because the fallback works also when no username is set @Icecast 2.4.2-1.  ::)

Yes, it seems that the entire stream audio service has been down for most of the night.  It's all user accounts.

Can you give us an idea as to when it'll be back online

Cheers

Post by: streamaudio on May 07, 2015, 01:16:37 PM
Jep, Icecast was completly down - it facks up.
Im now online again with Icecast 2.4.2-1.
Your DNS need time to update, so give it a small time, or change your DNS short to googles 8.8.4.4.
Than You can connect to the icecast.
Some other user allready stream with the new server.

See there are 25 stations using the stream. :cool:

My test stream works to, only I can't set the user name in the PluginStreamerV1.1 from Marius.

But it just works, thanks for the email.

Update:
Oops, forgot to say that the listeners counter now work.

Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: streamaudio on May 09, 2015, 11:25:45 PM
Hello,
thanks first.
After i reinstall the newer Icecast, you dont have to set the username.
I saw that only a few programs has that feature - eg. BUTT.

The listeners counter should work also before the crash ;)
I hope more stations would use the service real - not only getting an account, streaming a few days, and than use another service or going offline - without giving me an infomation, to delete their old account.
Some people come to me and say, they need min. 64 slots - but dont switch to streamaudio for real :(

Well, thanks again to all the streamer & listeners - keep it going and let the server burn :D
I like when you use it  :cool:

Hi,
I activated the streaming and it sounds very good with ogg at 96kb: s1.streamaudio.de:8000/funky-corner-radio
(http://s1.streamaudio.de:8000/funky-corner-radio) but I can't see the station listed in the Vorbis streaming directory and I can't hear the sound if I embed a player on my site. What am I doing wrong?
Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: streamaudio on June 02, 2015, 09:20:06 PM
Hello plauri,
i dont activate this till now:
<directory>
    <yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
    <yp-url>http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url>
</directory>
Tomorrow, in the morning i will restart icecast to activate this.
I hope my libcurl3-gnutls is working together with icecast. Its installed correct, so it should work.

Also i forget to upload the crossdomain.xml since the last new setup of icecast.
If there where any problems, please try again - the problems should be away.

What webplayer do you use?

Hi, now everything goes well. I'm using the Muses radio player the Simple Red (M), and I can see metadata too in it. Still waiting to get inserted into the Icecast directory. I have put a link to oyur site on my homepage, thanks!

Why? (http://www.radiodj.ro/community/Smileys/LightB/huh.gif)

Or is it my browser that show's them?

Cant post here. Board block me  >:D

Sorry, but forum was offline, and before it gives me a 403...  :-X
So here is what i want to post: :hihi:

Haha. After editing my post 50 times... i found the problem.
If you want to write "C-U-R-L" here (without the dash), you will be blocked and get a 403 failure.   ??? :angry: >:D


@plauri: Thanks for the link on your site - thats allways welcome. OGG sounds nice & with that player, it also shows the metadata/tracktitle - but only with ogg.
AAC or MP3 doesnt work with Muses right now. I doesnt try Opus - could also work :)
The icecast directory doesnt work, but i set it up like all tutorials show on the net.
C-u-r-l is installed - i have to test this next days, when the weather isnt as good as actually :P

@Johnny: No, its your Browser - the most Browser can directly play OGG via html5 player.
So everything is ok. It depends on what format the streamer uses.

EDIT: @plauri: icecast directory listing now also works. but its a totally stupid config on icecast.
and also the documentation is a hassle. when you activate the yp-listing you have to use the <listenurl> tag - which is automaticly provided by icecast.
but you have to set it manually  >:D
and this broke the config on mounts which have no fallback configured... thats so stupid...  :-X

It is allready activated from me in the icecast config.
You dont have to do anything.
Curios is, that i cant find your stream her: http://dir.xiph.org/search?search=Funky%20Corner%20Radio (http://dir.xiph.org/search?search=Funky%20Corner%20Radio)
Other station who streams over that server i can find: http://dir.xiph.org/search?search=The+Party (http://dir.xiph.org/search?search=The+Party)

Dont understand why it sometimes work, and then not  :-[
Sorry - config is ok.

EDIT: I think it is a searching bug on their website, because when you search here: http://dir.xiph.org/yp.xml (http://dir.xiph.org/yp.xml)
for "funky-corner-radio" you see your station is listed in their directory.

Anything else is in the hand of http://xiph.org (http://xiph.org)

Edit2: No plauri, i dont think that this is helpful.
You can contact the guys of xiph.org and ask them what to do, or whats the problem there is.

After some months of icecasts runnin realy well - i decided to change the status from beta >> to stable  :ok:
Im happy with the server. But there could be more users & listeners who can served with it ;)

So again, if somebody wants to use streamaudio - give it a try, you will love it.
Radios with many listeners are also welcome.

A mainthing for me is, that users who have an account should use them.
Sometime people register, but then they dont stream  :'(

Thats work for me and resources that dont used  :-*

And: Yes its allready free - and will be!

Looks like the audio streaming is hosted in Latvia by Nano IT (https://www.nano.lv/eng/). Is that cheaper than UK, German or Dutch hosting?
I'm asking because I have worked on few projects hosted with Nano but I'm not that satisfied with prices.
Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: streamaudio on November 24, 2015, 07:09:22 PM
@Vanlen: Thank You :)

@Valdis: How do you come to (or see) Nano IT?
The currently streamserver s1 is in göteborg, sweden.
s2 is for testing and is located in riga, latvia.

But Nano IT SIA is in another datacenter and has its own AS.
We use AS52173 where the most traffic goes through telia, l3 and hibernia.
The price is equal to germany or netherlands. And im very happy with it  :ok:

PS. Nanos website looks shabby - so i wouldnt buy something there  :-X

After some tests on the testsystem and ssh-login problems that i now have fixed,
i will move the server tomorow 23.02.2016 at 06:00 CET.
I hope the downtime will be as short as possible - The move will only be from goteborg to riga with a dns change.
After that the new Icecast 2.4.0-kh3 will be available to you.

And sorry for the long waiting time to give the account to you - because of the ssh problems, it was not easy to access.
But now, everything is fine.

And next info: to all users who register and dont use the account, i write them a third mail in the next days, and when they dont react i will close these account  ;)
For the future users: You are very welcome if you can stream 24/7 or at least once a day - hope you understand  :cool:

Edit: S1 is now in Riga with Icecast 2.4 KH3
DNS change should be done in the next hours.
If you have problems, flush your cache via windows-cmd:
CMD
ipconfig /flushdns

Now, when you
ping -6 s1.streamaudio.de or ping -4 s1.streamaudio.de
you should get
2a02:7aa0:1201:0:186:61:148:240 or 185.61.148.240

Your DNS give the right IP to your machine.
If you are on linux, you know similar command shurely :)

And thank you Vanlen for streaming good music  :ok:
Thats much more to do.

I want to use this thread to keep you informed: sorry mods, sometimes a doubleposting  :-X
The switch on 23.02.2016 works without any problems.

On 11.03.2016 22:25 CET there was a dropout due to fiberswitch from my isp's upstreamconnection.

And today 15:53 s1 icecast died :bash:
1 or 2 minutes after it was back online again.
Im on it - but i think it was me. Im testing a raspberry pi setup and took ogg vorbis instead of mp3, what i did before.
And some seconds after that, icecast was down  >:D

I will try to test that issue on s2, to make shure not getting more drops of icecast  :-*
Sorry for the problems.

Hy country,
that should work. On my Windows7 it worked.
That depends also, if you have ipv6 on your network.
Take a look on your ipconfig. There should be 3 or 4 addresses with ::::

ping -6 s1.streamaudio.de

I thought v6 is on by default.
If you dont know how to activate: http://sourcedaddy.com/windows-7/enabling-or-disabling-ipv6.html
Also your isp has to provide you with v6.
Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: country101 on March 15, 2016, 05:22:44 AM
it may be on by default but if you dont use it, what is the point. I see my stuff is all IPv6 and running nicely. Also, if it is not needed by default like it mainly isnt then there is no point to having it.
Title: Re: Streamaudio.de - free icecast audio streaming 32 / 64 slots
Post by: streamaudio on March 15, 2016, 05:40:27 AM
The point is, v4 addresses are all assigned to rir's.
There are no more v4 in the pool. IPv6 is the step to provide more address space for everyone!
So you dont need to nat anymore.

And between, the v6 stack is prefered if available - so you will use is, but dont notice it.
Well, the future will also show you, that v6 should/must work.
As a provider of service you have to setup v6.

Anybody Recently tried to register with them?
I did send a registration email to them at 23-07-2016, and a reminder at 09-08-2016, but I never received an answer from them.

But I see, that they are still active here.
It would be nice to get an answer  :)

Sorry for the reconnect @ 08:16 CET
My provider reboot the server, after i ask them about speedissues  >:D
I should have telled them not restart my system - but after talking with many hoster, they mostly ask before they doing anything on your machine.
Mostly you have to say twice "yes you are allowed to restart my server" ;)
But this time...  :-[

Thank you for your mails, i have restarted the icecast2 service.
Now i have some extended logs to hopefully see whats happend.
Everything seems fine for some months,  since my hoster restart the server this morning :( Maaaan

As this is not the first time i had that issue, i hope KarlH can help me as i wrote with him before about that.
And he was very helpful, but without good logs he cant help me in the past, now i have 1,4 GB of logfiles saved.
Lets see if icecast show me the issues.

The thing is, i could switch back to Icecast 2.4.1/2.3.2 - so without the kh branch.
But that version brings some nice features like flv wrapping.
And you use that with some flashplayers (Yes i know flash is evil)

Best wishes
Robert
I will keep you informed here.

Update: After looking into the logfiles, and found nearly nothing, i decide to resetup the server from ground up.
Especial because of today there was again the memory problem. Icecast eat the ram, and after some minutes the OOM Killer stops Icecast  :bash:
The thing is, with systemctl status icecast2.service it shows icecast would still be runnin... But it was down or stopped.
As some days/weeks ago.

The good is, i have now a small script written that checks every minute if the icecast server_version.xsl file is online, if not it restart icecast. I tested this on another system - it works very well :)
But to be truly, this is not a clean way. There is a memory-bug in Icecast 2.4.0 kh3 :(
The new server will also be debian9 with icecast 2.4.0 kh4.
I can only hope that this will fix the bug, if not i have to go back to 2.3.3kh11.

Also i will change this night the nameserver to be more flexible in changing the subdomains faster.
Currently my domainhoster allow only 3600 sec (1h) as minimum.
With the new one i am able to change it in 300sec/5min :)

All this will happens this night - there will be planned downtime  :-X
Dont ask me how long - the theoretical could be up to 24 hours till all dns server are updated.  :o

In the next month(s) i will change also the main subdomain of the server from s1.streamaudio.de > stream.streamaudio.de
My old plan was, that this project grows much faster, so i can add server like s2. s3. and so on.
You can change domain if you want today, it allready works. The PTR of the serverips is allready set.
#host 2a02:7aa0:1201:0:186:61:148:240
#...ip6.arpa domain name pointer stream.streamaudio.de

Maybe im able to setup a redirect with nginx on port 8000 to the new server subdomain. Lets see.
But for this night i change mainly the server / ips / nameserver.
s1.streamaudio.de will stay for a longer time ;)

why not use official versions of icecast? i am running 2.4.2 and it is just happy clam. never had it stop. only had the vps stop but that is easy fix. also been trying to find a good config file setup so i can see what to ditch and to keep. so far burst is not needed anymore. it is old school.

thanks vanlen  :cool:

@country: because of some small features, the official version not offer.
well, im not shure if i had problems like this also on the mainbuilds, but i would like to go with the kh version.
the server should never restarted if possible and as i can see in the past days the fresh installed new version of kh runs better. (your server runs since yesterday evening - not realy long  :-X)
but all in all i can say that in a saver way in some weeks. meanwhile the ramusage seems much more stable  ;D

@all: the move of the server and ip change + ns change where very nice without bigger interuptions.
even when icecast would fail again, because of the oom killer, it would restart after max. 2 minutes  :P
so i dont have to look every hour on the server.

some users also ask for some statistics, and i can say that i will setitup in the next days.
for the start i will run it from an external server to test it first and later i will implement it directly in icecast.

MY GOD - please remove these anoying google captchas!  >:D
have to do 8 times till i can post :'(

things here run ok just need to edit the config files since some one keeps spiking my traffic. why i dont know but i wish they would stop.

i wonder if i should hard code mount points in the config file.

if networktraffic is your problem, you should consider to use another hoster.
how many terabytes aggregate your listeners?
if i understand you right, hardcoded mountpoints with some fallback &/ autodj is nice.
autodj is not possible for all my user, would cost me to much  :hihi:

The server is fine. It is only sending out 96k aac+ to the listeners. But for some reasons it seems to reset at wacky times. no hard coded moutpoints or fall backs. it is all life and up.

Good & Bad news.
Bad first: icecast had again a memoryleak  :'(

But my script worked perfect and restarted it after it was dropped by the oom-killer.
After writing a bit with countr101 it seems that im not the only one who have that issue.

Good news: Ive made a new icecast status design for the server.
I like it much more than the common one.Take a look here: http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000 (http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000)

Mountpount will available like this:
http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/?mount=/forest-green (http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/?mount=/forest-green)
http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/?mount=/strul-fm (http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/?mount=/strul-fm)

The old mountpoint scheme is allready active - if you like the common one ;)
http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/status.xsl?mount=/forest-green (http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/status.xsl?mount=/forest-green)
http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/status.xsl?mount=/strul-fm (http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/status.xsl?mount=/strul-fm)


This will be the prework to get the listenerstatics workin  8)
Lets see when im ready - hopefully soon  :ok:

Im not ready yet for statistics, but have meanwhile something new.
Pablo ask me if he could stream over httpS - and after some reading and testing, here it is.

Streaming with SSL:
https://stream.streamaudio.de:8443/fm-vida-95-7.m3u (https://stream.streamaudio.de:8443/fm-vida-95-7.m3u)
https://stream.streamaudio.de:8443/?mount=/fm-vida-95-7 (https://stream.streamaudio.de:8443/?mount=/fm-vida-95-7)

Streaming without SSL:
http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/fm-vida-95-7.m3u (http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/fm-vida-95-7.m3u)
http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/?mount=/fm-vida-95-7 (http://stream.streamaudio.de:8000/?mount=/fm-vida-95-7)

As you can see, i have to use a different port ;)

I dont see what this provides? I mean sure having SSL on it is great with internet spoofing and all but is that all or what they hope to obtain?

It is better that everybody use ssl/tls on the internet, so its harder to find the important things - google-youtube do it for a longer time and it works well.
The main thing should be the connect/password exchange from your streamingclient to icecast2 with tls.
But i only test it with butt, who doesnt support it yet.
So for now use port 8000 for your streamingclient and 8443 + 8000 for your playlist/webplayer, as the most of them can use tls (vlc/firefox eg.)
We have that nice technologie, why dont use it?

I think you're right about the SSL thing. I think Google is about to start excluding sites from search results if they don't use https:// we've recently switched my blog over.

Good choice indeed, letsencrypt is really nice :)
But google wouldnt exclude your website completely, they "only" give it a worse ranking.

@country101: On google you find enough information to get it runnin.

I have to inform you that my server has stopped today at 05:30 CEST - without any reason.
This time it was the server itself, not icecast.
So my script that checks if icecast is runnin, couldnt check that :(

I ask my isp why that happens, but didnt get an answer yet.
Meanwhile Icecast is runnin again.

Im sorry for that long downtime - not my goal.
I will build an additional script that check, if the whole server is runnin, not only icecast.
And get informed via sms/mail, to handle that faster.

Greetings
Robert

After you might see the restarts of your streams every couple of hours in the last week...
It was an issue from my provider at the location in goteborg.
Ive tried to fix it by my own, but i doesnt get it right.
So ive moved the icecast today to the datacenter in riga.
I hope that the problem stay away now.

In this way i update to Icecast 2.4.0 KH6 (current release)

Sorry for the issues.
