Hi,

Just signed up for an account and am totally new to this internet radio thing, so I have a couple of questions that I can't find answers for in the forums.

My situation : Once I have this setup it will be used by a traditional FM radio station in Spain to broadcast live 24/7. I am using Edcast with Lame and have chosen Icecast (because it has/had better web player support).

My Questions

1. I have followed the guide here to setup edcast, changed the server type to Icecast 2.
(Configuring Edcast for Shoutcast Servers)

What Mount Point should I be using in Edcast? I see some mention by the admins that IR uses autodetect?

I figure I should be using either /live or /stream ? EdCast default is "/stream.ogg"

And what are the other mount points for?

(I only found what mountpoints were available from viewing my icecast status page)

2. I setup the intro and fallback MP3's, but I dont hear the intro MP3. fallback seems to work just fine. To check, I uploaded my intro mp3 as a fallback, and sure enough it plays just fine. Perhaps this is connected to my first question.

Well I thought I would have more questions, but it seems like ive wrapped it all up into just two!

Thanks for any help

Hi costaalmeria. Welcome to Internet Radio. Im sure we can help you along. Using Lame on Edcast is a good choice.

The mountpoint you should use is /live

The other mountpoints are used for the Auto DJ.

Regarding the intro file issue. It sounds like your intro file format differs from your stream. The intro / fallback files must be exactly the same bitrate / samplerate / channels as you stream at as most players cannot handle a difference.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks!

I have setup to use the /live mountpoint - I have another problem, but I think I should add a new thread for this one
