Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg
|
|
Vorbis and MP3 audio streams. It can be used to create an Internet
|
|
radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in
|
|
between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added
|
|
relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and
|
|
interaction.
|
|
|
|
Icecast v2 is a complete rewrite of the old Icecast streaming server.
|
|
It was designed to be highly efficient and have low memory requirements.
|
|
|
|
Additional features are, among others:
|
|
|
|
* a web-based administration interface including simple file serving
|
|
* supports listing in stream directories
|
|
* new relay system
|
|
|
|
After many years of development, testing and even production use,
|
|
Icecast v2 is also very stable.
|
|
|
|
Security features include chroot()ing and dropping privileges, if
|
|
configured to do so.
