Icecast Server YP Directory Settings

Andy Moore said:

It works and submits to the directory, however it doesn't play, and says there's no web player, despite the official xiph directory playing it.

Actually, and this could just be me and a weird browser setup, but none of the players on this page work:

https://www.internet-radio.com/search/?radio=zone&page=/page3

Is that a little bug, or me......

How do I add this information if I am running IceCast 2 and am hosted by Live365?

In order to list an Icecast 2 server in our directory you need to add our YP directory settings to your Icecast 2 config file.

Centovacast Method

If you are running centovacast then this can be done from the Configuration > Settings > Advanced page of the control panel. You must set the Directory listings URL: to http://icecast-yp.internet-radio.com Leave the Directory listings timeout as 15.

If you already hosting with us then then there's no need as this has been done for you already.

Icecast Configuration File Method

If you have access to your Icecast configuration file then you can edit your icecast.xml file as outlined in the Icecast documentation found here. Make sure there is a directory entry configured as follows:

Code:

        <directory>
                <yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
                <yp-url>http://icecast-yp.internet-radio.com</yp-url>
        </directory>

Icecast supports multiple directory YP's so you can keep your http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi entry and have both listed as follows:

Code:

        <directory>
                <yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
                <yp-url>http://icecast-yp.internet-radio.com</yp-url>
        </directory>
        <directory>
                <yp-url-timeout>15</yp-url-timeout>
                <yp-url>http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi</yp-url>
        </directory>

Make sure you remove any comment tags (like <!-- and -->) which may be surrounding your <directory> and </directory> tags.

Restart Icecast

For the changes to take effect you must restart your Icecast server. Listing in our directory will take approximately 60 seconds and your listing will be updated around every 60 seconds.

Hi Fractal Fill,

Do both of the streams share the exact same stream title but just at different bitrates?

Can someone answer this for me: I have an Icecast server using Centova Cast control panel with a stream host (not Internet-Radio.com, someone else).

Putting http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi there gets my Icecast server listed OK, and I understand I could put http://icecast-yp.internet-radio.com instead and my Icecast server would be listed on the Internet-Radio.com directory.

But what if I wanted to be listed on both directories, what do I put?

I tried putting this there:
http://dir.xiph.org/cgi-bin/yp-cgi,http://icecast-yp.internet-radio.com but that didn't work.

Anyone successfully listed on both? How is it done?

Anyone? I have to use the Centova Cast panel to do it, I do not have direct access to the Icecast server configuration file.
