OMV and ICECAST2 Server?

Have you tried installing it yet, looks like you build it the package from source after that you could set the icecast server to listen on a different port than omv

out of curiousity, I've installed icecast2 from the repos - it's version 2.3.2 rather than 2.4.3 which is the latest

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install icecast2

then enabled the daemon by editing this file

sudo nano /etc/default/icecast2

and changing enable to true

# Edit /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml and change at least the passwords.
# Change this to true when done to enable the init.d script
ENABLE=true

after that checked the port and Ip the server was listening to

sudo nano /etc/icecast2/icecast.xml

and edited this line

<listen-socket>
        <port>8000</port>
        <bind-address>YOUR-IP</bind-address> -->
        <!-- <shoutcast-mount>/stream</shoutcast-mount> -->
    </listen-socket>

then finally started the daemon with

sudo service icecast2 start

after that i accessed the webui via <YOUR-IP>:8000.. suggest looking at the docs after this as I know nothing about icecast- http://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.2/

Hope this helps,

omv has a plug in for MPD it's part of the extras - http://omv-extras.org/joomla/index.php as for sharing it with ICECAST. I don't really know.

Personally I used emby to access my content remotely but I'm not sure that's what you want.

oh, have you added a data drive to your omv installed yet

OMV is designed to have a dedicate OS drive with additional data drives, it's not good practice to put data on the OS drive. It can be done though.

Going back to Icecast it looks like you need to mount a local drive. http://icecast.org/docs/icecas…g-file.html#mountsettings

After following suggestion from forum members, i've gone with a SNAP Raid set up. Multiple western digital drives with parity and then a mergefs on top to act a single share point.

I dont understand yet how icecast works...
Can it play as an internet-radio or is it just only a server and has to get the music from mpd or so?
Sorry if i my ask silly questions...

No worries, we all start somewhere

My understanding is that Icecast is a streaming server that you can use to push content out onto the internet along with listening to Radio streams via a relay - however I'm doing a bit of educated guessing here as I don't use the software

Zitat von ICE Docs

Icecast is a streaming media (audio/video) server which currently supports Ogg (Vorbis and Theora), Opus, WebM and MP3 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.

MPD is a music streamer that does the same thing but locally, for example I have MPD addon install and pointing at my music directory. This is then available on my two raspberry pi's using Rune Audio - http://www.runeaudio.com/ which I control via MPDroid on my android phone.

IMHO I think the questions you might want to ask is before diving into Icecast are

• What content do I want to access - music, photos and films etc
• Where I am going to do this - home, work etc
• What devices do I have available - XBox, Playstation, Smart TV, Kodi Box, Phone etc

Once you've answered those you can start choosing the most suitable software to install on your NAS. Plex and Emby work will as stream anywhere solution. Kodi and Samba share work nicely if you have a PC attached to your TV.

There are loads of solutions out there

Think that mpd will do that fine.

Hope it goes well

Have you added the folder and run a database up date. There is a mpd client that you can run from the terminal which is handy to check things are working.

Try apt-cache search mpd | grep client

As I forgotten it's name!

sorry about the delay, I had to go back through my history and i got it wrong.

try installing ncmpc

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ncmpc
