<p>Each icecast server can house multiple broadcasts (or mountpoints) each containing a separate stream of content. A listener can only listen to a single mountpoint at a time. This means you can have a single icecast server contain either multiple broadcasts with different content, or possibly the same broadcast but with streams of different bitrates or qualities. In this case each broadcast or stream is a separate mountpoint.</p>
<p>At this point, the steps outlined here related to the Unix version or Win32 console version of icecast. Icecast is also available in a Win32 GUI version, and the steps are similar in setup, but not quite the same.</p>
<p>The first step in the process is to find and install the icecast2 server itself. How to do this is not contained within this documentation. After installation you should have and icecast binary and 3 directories</p>

<tr><td>logs</td><td>This is a blank directory which (if specified in the config file) will contain all the logs (there are 2) for icecast.</td></tr>
</table>

<p>Now that the icecast server is started you must now configure your source client. The information you will need for the source client is the following : <br />
<br />
IP address and Port of the icecast server - both of these come from &lt;listen-socket&gt;<br />
source password - from &lt;source-password&gt;<br />
source password - from &lt;source-password&gt;
</p>
<p>Additionally, you will need to choose a mountpoint and specify this in the source client. Icecast does not need to know about each mount point (although you can configure settings for specific mountpoint - this is covered under Advanced configuration) there are, however, some points to mention regarding mountpoints. All Ogg Vorbis streams should have mountpoints that end in .ogg (i,e. /mystream.ogg). This is due to the lazy way most media players infer the type of stream. MP3 streams usually do not contain an extension (/mystream). Mount points also should not contain any spaces or odd characters (again due to the lazy way many of the media players are coded).</p>
<p>Once you have configured your source client, you should be able to connect it to the icecast server. Verify that it is connected by hitting the stats.xml URL that was mentioned above.</p>
<p>Now that you have the source connnected, listening to the stream involves simply opening the appropriate following URL in a browser: http://yourip:port/mounpointyouspecified.m3u. So, for instance, if you attached your source client to an icecast server located at 192.168.1.10:8000 with a mountpoint of /mystream.ogg, then you would open : http://192.168.1.10:8000/mystream.ogg.m3u. Note that the .m3u extention will serve up a link that opens most media players. Also it is important to note that m3u need not contain only MP3 stream, it can contain streams of arbitrary content-type and is used by icecast to serve a playlist that represents your broadcast to listening clients. Alternatively you can open up the stream URL directly within your media player (http://192.168.1.10:8000/mystream.ogg in this case)</p>

<h3>Master Relay</h3>
<p>
The following diagram shows the basics of doing a Master relay. Note that Server 1 is configured with the &lt;master-server&gt;, &lt;master-server-port&gt;, etc settings and Server 2 is the server from which Server 1 will pull all attached mountpoints and relay them. Using a Master Server relay, ALL mountpoints on Server 2 will be relayed. If only specific mountpoints need to be relayed, then you must configure Server 1 as a "Specific Mountpoint Relay". Both Master server relays and Specific Mountpoint relays begin their "relaying" when the Server is started.

<p>To support listener authentication you MUST provide at a minimum &lt;mount-name&gt; and &lt;authentication&gt;. The mount-name is the name of the mountpoint that you will use to connect your source client with and authentication configures what type of icecast2 authenticator to use. Currently, only a single type "htpasswd" is implemented. New authenticators will be added later. Each authenticator has a variable number of options that are required and these are specified as shown in the example. The htpasswd authenticator requires a few parameters. The first, filename, specifies the name of the file to use to store users and passwords. Note that this file need not exist (and probably will not exist when you first set it up). Icecast has built-in support for managing users and passwords via the web admin interface. More on this later in this section. The second option, allow_duplicate_users, if set to 0, will prevent multiple connections using the same username. Setting this value to 1 will enable mutltiple connections from the same username on a given mountpoint. Note there is no way to specify a "max connections" for a particular user.
</p>
<p>Icecast supports a mixture of streams that require listener authentication and those that do not. Only mounts that are named in the config file can be configured for listener authentication.</p>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>Configuring Users and Passwords</h3>
<p>Once the appropriate entries are made to the config file, connect your source client (using the mountpoint you named in the config file). To configure users and passwords for this stream you must use the web-based admin interface. Navigate to http://server:ip/admin/stats.xsl to begin. If you have configured everything properly, you should see a screen like the following :</p>
<img border="1" src="listener_auth1.jpg" />
<img src="listener_auth1.jpg" alt="Screenshot of http://server:ip/admin/stats.xsl" />
<p>You will see a red key in front of all mountpoint configured for listener authentication. Also note that this page will only show CONNECTED mountpoints.</p>
<p>To manage users and passwords for this mountpoint, click on the red key or follow the "Manage Authentication" link. The following screen will be shown :</p>
<img border="1" src="listener_auth2.jpg" />
<img src="listener_auth2.jpg" alt="Screenshot of Manage Authentication" />
<p>This screen will show all the users configured for this mountpoint. Adding users is as simple as entering a username and password in the fields and clicking "Add New User". Note that usernames MUST be unique and there are NO restrictions on passwords. You can delete users by clicking the appropriate delete link next to each user.</p>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>Finishing it all off</h3>
<p>Ok, so you've created your users, and you have everything setup properly, how do your users login ? Well, we've provided a simple login form that you can use for this purpose. This page (http://server:port/auth.xsl) will bring up a form that users can use to enter their username and password.</p>
<img border="1" src="listener_auth3.jpg" />
<img src="listener_auth3.jpg" alt="Screenshot of http://server:port/auth.xsl" />
<p>This page will serve a m3u with the username and password and in most cases should open the correct media player and begin playing your stream</p>
