Custom XML Configuration

As of version 2.12.3 it is possible to apply custom xml configurations to Icecast and Icecast KH stations from the Service Configuration -> Advanced tab. All directives entered here are merged into the icecast configuration file automatically. Please note that invalid configurations may prevent Icecast from starting.

Examples

Max Listener Duration

The example below will set the max-listener-duration on the first mount point. If there are multiple mount points then you can simply duplicate the <mount> directive for each mount point that exists.

<icecast>
  <mount>
    <max-listener-duration>43200</max-listener-duration>
  </mount>
</icecast>

IP Deny

You setup IP deny using Custom XML, after manually creating an ip-deny-list file via SSH.  Icecast documentation does not require any formatting for this file it can simply be a single ip address on each line.

You can make this file by for example running the following command then listing each IP address on a new line.

nano /usr/local/mediacp/content/user_xxx/music/ip-deny-list

From there you can set the custom XML configuration in the panel, it should look like the below example. After applying the change and restarting the service the set IP’s should be blocked:

<icecast>
    <paths>
        <deny-ip>/usr/local/mediacp/content/user_xxx/music/ip-deny-list</deny-ip>
    </paths>
</icecast>
