I’m trying to relay my favourite radio station in my home network. As described in the documentation in the Icecast docs, I’ve tried to setup a mountpoint relay as described here:
Mountpoint Relay, but I couldn’t get to work. The address to the stream is as follows:
Radio 1 128k Stream
What did I wrong in configuration, or is it not possible to relay such a stream with Icecast? Are there real alternatives that are configurable with a realistic effort of work?
<!-- IMPORTANT!
Especially for inexperienced users:
Start out by ONLY changing all passwords and restarting Icecast.
For detailed setup instructions please refer to the documentation.

it also significantly increases latency between the source

might want to disable this. -->

Headers defined here will be returned for every HTTP request to Icecast.

This will make streams easier embeddable (some HTML5 functionality needs it).
Also it allows direct access to e.g. /status-json.xsl from other sites.
