ices plugin

Im trying to activate the ICES icecast output module as a always on link to my freestar node. I'm a asterisk newb, so i need a little help.
I believe I need to add
exten => 28525,n,Ices(/etc/asterisk/asterisk-ices.conf)
to my extensions.conf. Is this correct? I tried putting it under [radio] [radio-secure] and its own separate [stream] section but i never see the ices application execute. Do i need to add a separate extension and make a call between them? How would i debug this?
thanks

BUMP to this

i am tring to stream the audio from my node to a icecast server via the ICES module packaged with asterisk. This is all I got to go on.

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/index.php?page_id=991&comments_page=1

The example shows how its done with a confrence call.
; Stream
exten => 10
2,1,Answer
exten => 102,n,Wait(1)
exten => 102,n,Ices(/some/where/asterisk-ices.xml)
exten => 102,n,HangUp

i assumed that I could replace 102 with my node number - but it does not work. I have the icecast server running and waiting for a connection from ices. but it never 'picks up' . Also create the stream.call file - seems to not work either. I gotta get some rest and will take alook at it again tomorrow - but if anyone has something working or knows a better way to approach this i would like to hear from you

not even close…

There is a way to do it, it does work, it is documented somewhere, I dont remember a thing about it (intentionally :slight_smile: ).
If someone who is into this stuff happens to remember where it’s documented, please help this dude.

Thanks

Jim – you helped me set up streaming on my server. It uses the (undocumented?) “outstreamcmd“ command

In my case, using the ezstream program and SHOUTCAST rather than ICECAST (but must be similar)

In rpt.conf

outstreamcmd=/bin/sh,-c,/usr/bin/lame --preset cbr 16 -r -m m -s 8.0 --bitwidth 16 - - | /usr/bin/ezstream -c /etc/ezstream.xml

The xml file looks like this (minus the actual IP and password of course)

http://IP.IP.IP.IP:PORT/Node27021.mp3

XXXXXXXX

<stream_once>1</stream_once>

That did the trick however astdn and astres will not take ezstream down,
and asterisk will fail to come back up until its killed. no biggie. Im
glad its working. Thanks!
