Software Update: Icecast 2.3.1

Spread the love

Icecast is a streaming media server with support for Ogg Vorbis and mp3 audio streams. The program can be used as a personal juxebox on your local network or as a radio station on the internet. For more information about how it works, we refer you to the documentation. The developers recently released version 2.3.1 with the following changes:

Version 2.3.1:

    New features:

    • new tag in state the trigger size (in KB) for cycling the log files.
    • new tag in enable (1) if you want to use a timestamp for an extension when cycling logs.

    Fixes:

    • Handling of certain shoutcast source clients is fixed, this typically affected NSV source clients
    • A race in source shutdown when listeners are authenticated could lead to server crash
    • An audio glitch was possible in playback of vorbis streams when a new logical stream started (eg metadata update).
    • stats speedup. Processing large numbers of stats was slow. Typically only seen when using lots of streams on the same server.
    • 404 responses were being sent back in some places, now 403 is sent back.
    • Auth URL now handles the authentication to scripts better.
    • A streams intro file can now be changed, using HUP, on active streams.
    • mount without a name crashed the server
    • Various documentation updates

Version 2.3.0:

    New features:

    • Streaming support for ogg speex, ogg flac, ogg midi
    • intro file support – per mount settable
    • on-demand relays, global and per-relay settable
    • fallback to file, extends on the intro file handling.
    • new mount level settings
    • New URL listener authenticator.
    • HTPasswd authenticator uses in-memory structures now.
    • On demand files now can be fed through an authenticator
    • Update to admin/web xslt interface
    • Icecast can now be installed as a win32 service

    Fixes:

    • real/helix works
    • win32 access log correctly
    • stats client is stable now (curl -X STATS http://admin@host:port/)
    • show mountpoints on stats that are inactive but have an active fallback
    • more updates about HUP possible
    • improved stability under heavy load
    • moving clients will no longer sometimes deadlock the server
    • avoid small writes to reduce TCP overhead.
